Biology almost took over my life this week. I had a homework assignment due in class Monday, a lab write-up due Wednesday before our three and a half hour-long lab, an exam Thursday, and the lab practical Friday. On Tuesday, I didn’t go to HoCo because I felt like I needed to study. HoCo is one of my favorite parts…
A Week till Break!
Hi blog! This week has flown by pretty quickly. I had course registration on Tuesday and as promised I’ll tell you what I registered for: intro to organismal biology and the lab, term golf, the economics of globalization, environmental issues in developing countries, and a nation in therapy. The economics of globalization and environmental issues in developing countries are…
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…
Target, Friends, Existential Crises, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra
There are two more weeks left until Thanksgiving Break. That also means that every one of my professors is trying to shove every assessment right before Thanksgiving – which is just lovely. I know Thanksgiving will feel a lot better with all those papers out of the way. But the problem is that those papers are not out of the…
Registration All Over Again
Good morning everybody and happy Wednesday. My busy week has been expanded into a busy week-and-a-half, but I am getting better at balancing work and fun. Aside from oh so much homework, I had a mock trial invitational this weekend with my new team. Saturday night was smores and havdalah with Hillel and the team watched closing ceremonies together on…
November
November has brought epic foliage, cool weather, and 4:30 sunsets. I am happy about one of those things. Two weeks ago, I hadn’t even broken out my lightweight puffer jacket, and now it’s cold enough for my parka in the mornings. I moisturized my hands for the first time in months and went running in leggings, not shorts. My sandals…
Finding the Balance
Hi blog! It’s the weekend! Before I break down my plans for the weekend, I’ll recap my week. One of my friends signed her full-time job offer this week, so we went to an all-you-can-eat sushi place called Yamato to celebrate. Also, this week was Diwali so one of my friends who celebrates parents came into town and we…
A Not-So-Homesick Halloween
There’s always an image in my head of what Halloween is supposed to look like. It’s in the tacky skeleton and stretchy spider web decorations brought out every year after hibernating in dusty attics, the spooky ghost cutouts taped onto each high school teacher’s door. It culminates in the elementary school costume parade and mummy-wrapping activities led almost exclusively by…
Just One of Those Weeks
Good morning blog! Spooky Season has officially come to a close and, while Halloweekend was incredible, I am completely drained after non-stop spookiness. This was my first and last weekend off for a while, so I needed to make the most of it. I tried to cram in as much as possible: Shabbat services, Munger Mash, an ungodly amount of…
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…
