Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This time next week, I will be writing to you from back home in Iowa, where I’ll be spending my November break. Five days of family, food, and rest sounds like exactly what I need right now, and I cannot wait. Before I can get to that, though, there are a few other things…

Planning Ahead
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This has been a very eventful week; it seems like something is always happening at Wellesley, and while I do love that I never have to look far to be entertained, I’m definitely looking forward to the break we’ll be getting later on this month. I think it’ll be nice to have a few…
Staying Afloat
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This has been kind of a rough week for me, so this blog will be dedicated to some of the little things to celebrate since I last wrote. Anastasija’s Birthday! My good friend Anastasija turned 20 last Thursday, so the two of us ordered McDonalds for dinner that night, and on Saturday…

Admitting Defeat

The Boulder Chase
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Today was my second day of training for my new job at the Computing Help Desk, and I’ve been starting to feel the effects of stretching myself thin. It feels like my classwork has been piling up higher and higher and I have no chance to reach the bottom of the pile. To combat…
The Fire of September
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! This is the first real week of classes, and I’m beginning to realize that I really need to straighten out my priorities if I want to do everything that I want to do on campus; I’m taking five classes, working three jobs, and participating in a music ensemble this semester, which is quite a…
First Week Jitters
Hello blog, and happy Wednesday! Today is the first day of classes here at Wellesley; I had my first French class this morning and this afternoon I will be attending my very first in person convocation ceremony, which I am very excited about. I’m not entirely sure what exactly a convocation is, but I’ll be sure to update you…
