Hi everyone! It’s been a while since my last blog post since we had Thanksgiving Break last week. We have a lot to catch up on! For Thanksgiving break I went back home to NYC (again), but this time I brought my roommate and hallmate, who are both really good friends of mine. They both live pretty far from Wellesley…

Nearing the End
Hello hello! It’s hard to believe this, but today marks my last week in Cambridge as a visiting student. A week from today, I will have taken my philosophy of mind exam, written up dissertation, and packed my bags. This term has flown by, and I don’t want to think about how soon next week will come. But, anyway, this…
a fun turkey break
Earlier this week I received a little postcard in the mail from the College with the words “Save the Date” and “You are cordially invited to Wellesley 142nd Commencement Exercises on Sunday, May 31st, 2020”. Receiving the postcard was like a reality check. 2020 does not sound like a real year and I am having difficulty understanding how time could…
More Fun Things Than I Possibly Have Time For
On some Sunday nights, I realize I spent most of the weekend doing schoolwork. I’ve gotten better at finding a good work-fun balance, which I’ll go into in a future post. But this past week, I realized why I tend to do so much work on Saturday and Sunday. It’s because I do so many fun things during the week. …
Hello, November!
Happy November everyone! Oh my goodness. I’m feeling so much better, and I have a few updates to share from this week! After 14,000 words, seven papers, and quite a lot of philosophical musings, my Philosophy of Mind supervision (or “supo” as Cambridge kids would say) ended on Wednesday. It felt bittersweet to end my paper, but I still have…
Memorable Cambridge Moments
Hi everyone, Things have been progressing steadily over here across the pond. I’m almost over my sickness (just a little left), and I’m hoping to feel back to normal within the next few days. As I’ve mentioned earlier, I’ve decided to join the Pembroke College Boat Club (aka rowing!) at Cambridge. During the past few weeks, I’ve been in the…
Family weekend !
Although I was just home, my mother and grandmother decided to pop over to Wellesley for family and friends weekend. The weekend is filled with events for parents and friends who come to visit their Wellesley student. It was a way for me to show my family the places I talk about so much when I am at home. I…
A Day Trip to Bath, UK
Hello hello! October is going by so fast! Back at Wellesley, I’ve heard that the leaves are changing and fall is in full swing. The same can be said over here in England! The trees are (slowly but surely) changing, and the weather has become noticeably chillier. This past week I was hit with the “fresher’s flu”, aka a bad…
fall break 2019
I couldn’t come up with a title that correctly encapsulated my awesome weekend. This past weekend was Fall break and took the opportunity to take a much-needed trip home. While home, I attended a panel discussion about the life of one of my favorite writers, Toni Morisson. I was deeply affected by her death and hoped that this event would…
Kettle’s Yard and Fresher’s Week
Hi all! What a week it has been! One of my goals during my semester abroad has been to take full advantage of all Cambridge has to offer. That includes everything: clubs, societies, and sports, classes, lectures, and talks. I spent a lovely afternoon last week at Kettle’s Yard, a house-turned-art gallery in Cambridge! A bit of background: the house…
