Somehow, it’s already February, and I feel like time is speeding up on me on purpose. Just to psych me out. Anyone else?
Life Beyond the Blog
Possibly the biggest thing this week was the sheer cold. I had classes off Wednesday and Thursday because of it (YAY OHIO ugh), which meant that I absolutely became a blanket burrito. It let me catch up on some reading, and it also meant that I got into ACNL again.
I tried Animal Crossing a couple years ago and didn’t like it much, mostly because of the real time play factor. This time, I figured I’d give it another go because I looked into how to time travel in the game without screwing everything up and OH BOY. Now I’m having fun! It lets me play the game longer and have more to do, and once I get my feet underneath me, I think I’ll time travel back to the real date and let things play out from there. Should be fun!
Other than that, though, it’s been an exceptionally dull week. Super dull. Go figure.

The Week Ahead
THE CHAOS BEGINS.
Next week is when two of my three classes recommend starting the core research project of the class, and since I really,Β reallyΒ want to ace this semester, I need to follow that recommendation. I’m THIS CLOSE to having a 3.9, and unless I nail these classes, I think I’m going to fall just a hair short. The GPA calculator I’ve used also thinks I’m going to fall a hair short just based on the simple math of how many credits I have this semester, which really sucks.
BUT OH WELL. I also have other things to do! This evening, I’m going to a concert for the local orchestra and as moral support for my roommate, who has a violin solo (!!!), and after that, it’s desserts and drinks and CHILLING for one more day before I’m back at it again on Monday morning at the deli.
Hope your week has been good to you, and that the week ahead is calmer for you than it is for me! See you around!
Well Meaghan I am thinking of all of you in the US really freezing right now so I want to say: stay safe and warm! Good luck for next week .
Thank you!! Things are beginning to warm up at last, but I’ll be watching the weather closely for the rest of winter for sure!
Good luck with your research assignments! What topics will you be picking?
Thanks, Meeghan! I’m not 100% sure yet, but I will be doing a paper on utopia in some way, another on late antique art, and a third on religion from an anthropological perspective. I have lots of latitude, which is why I haven’t nailed down specifics yet!
Wow!! This all sounds incredibly fascinating though!!
It really is! I lucked out and managed to make my final semester tailored EXACTLY to my interests. It’s gonna be a great time!
YAAAYY!! I love it when the things you have to do, are about things you are interested in. It makes it all so much easier!!! (But also worse because then you maybe try and investigate every single grain of sand in the desert… be kind to yourself and maybe don’t do that!!) x
The rabbit hole effect is REAL lol. Hopefully I won’t do that.
I believe in you!!
I swear I blinked and January was over, so it’s definitely not just you! sending you lots of extra blankets and hot cocoa/tea, and hoping you’re keeping warm in the meantime π
Oh thank goodness, I’m so glad you get it too. π And yep, I’m very warm! It’s actually very suddenly warmed up, so I’m comfy right now.
I swear January had a pair of Sonic the hedge hog shoes…smh. Throwing you lots of good vibes and heaters! Stay warm and good luck on your assignments! <3
Sonic shoes omg you’re absolutely right… And thank you!! I’ll take all the warmth and luck I can get lol
