The Countdown Begins

Hello blog, and happy Monday!    It was a beautiful spring day in Massachusetts today, and while I spent most of it inside at the Computing Help Desk in Clapp Library, I have managed to get outside quite a bit in the past week. Last Tuesday, my friend Emma and I took a walk as far as we could around…

Monday, Monday

Hello blog, and happy Monday!   In the interest of full transparency, I think it’s important that I let you know I’m actually writing this post Sunday evening. I have a lot of assignments due at the front end of this week, and I’m really trying to stay on top of things by getting a couple of my usual Monday…

When I Touch the Water

Hello blog, and happy Monday!   Today it was a beautiful 60 degrees and sort of sunny in Massachusetts; I spent most of the day at the Computing Help Desk in Clapp Library resetting passwords and sorting through tickets for more experienced tech support workers, so I unfortunately did not see much sun today. I did manage to get out…

Another Week in the Life

Hello blog, and happy Monday! Today has been a very long and very cold day, but it’s been a pretty okay one. This past week has really been very long and very cold, but there have been many highlights, some of which I’m here to tell you all about.   First of all, I’m making great progress on my knitting…

Presidents’ Day (It’s Time to Reflect)

Hello blog, and happy Monday!   Today I am feeling very grateful for time off and time in between, and the rest of this blog post will be, in some way or another, an elaboration on that idea.    First of all, today was Presidents’ Day, which means I had a beautiful three day weekend. Personally, I think every weekend…

February Seven

Hello blog, and happy Monday!   Today marks my first post of February, which is very exciting to think about. We’re only one week away from one of the year’s best holidays: Valentine’s Day!   I was always a huge Valentine’s Day as a kid. When I was in elementary school, we used to call our classroom Valentine parties “Friendship…

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Hello blog, and happy Monday!   Wellesley is looking a little different today than it was last time I wrote: this weekend New England was hit by a blizzard and we got what I read was maybe sixteen inches of snow. Being from Iowa, this was much less of a big deal to me than it was to a lot…

Back to the Basics

Hello blog, and happy Monday! Even more importantly, happy spring semester!   Today was the first day of classes here at Wellesley- FDOC, as the Wendies say- and it was a doozy. Our first week of classes is virtual this semester to accommodate the students who tested positive upon their return to Wellesley, which is a super awesome plan that…

Lip Sync Champions and Other Snapshots from a Week Well-Lived

Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This week has been crazy busy! Since I last wrote to you, I’ve been to a tree-lighting, gone Christmas shopping, played at Holiday Open Tower, and- drumroll, please- won Wellesley’s Fall 2021 Lip-Sync Competition! For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the event, Lip-Sync is a twice yearly competition held by Wellesley’s House…
