SNOWWWWW DAYYYYY

So today a large storm hit and it snowed the entire day. Because of this I've been neglecting most of my duties and my work for the day. So I have a lot of reading to do that's due tomorrow and I've started it very late in the night so I cannot create an entire blog post tonight.  I will, however, update it tomorrow so that I can fully explain to you what wonderful things are going on in my life. Also fun fact I'm using the microphone dictation tool on the iPhone keyboard to write this message out. 我想你们都奇妙。Oh my God I can do it in Chinese too this is amazing. Okay goodnight you gorgeous popsicles!

There's so much free frozen pizza in the English Department lounge. I think they're training our stomachs for our future diets as struggling artists.

A list of things and then another list of things. Thoughts on thoughts on thoughts.

"New medical study suggests you should run. Run! It's too late for us. Save yourself, the report concludes."

Hey folks. This week's theme is about how I've been appreciating the arts in different ways than I usually do. And then perhaps branching out from there about life in general, as my posts tend to do. But let's go ahead and get this party  small gathering of friends started.

The Halloweek

Hey there, dream sailors. This year I have found myself wanting to invest all of my energy into truly enjoying Autumn and the Holidays, themes and tradition that surround them. It's been really nice caring about things, investing time and love into the things I do, and getting the gratification of the outcomes that come with it. So I guess my theme this week (maybe I'll do themes now, eh?) is investing in Autumn.

Today I went Canoeing on the Androscoggin

Hello there dear friends,

Today I went canoeing on the Androscoggin, as you might have gleaned from the title of this post. It's important that you know this because now you know that I have exercised today, and therefore I am tired. Also, I just didn't get that much sleep last night because sometimes the night gets away from me. Oh, also also, Bates won the most prestigious British Parliamentary debate tournament in all of the US (and pretty esteemed around the world) at Yale University. I was there to judge and I made new friends and got to see older friends.

I'm More of a Mahogany Girl

Hello fellow creatures of existence, 

Both of my roommates are sick so I drank orange juice today even though I don't particularly enjoy our school's orange juice. That is how dedicated I am to staying healthy ("healthy" being a term I have a fairly loose definition of). Despite my heroic precautions against those villains known as viruses, I'm feeling sort of crappy. But not in a "I'm sick" way but more of a "mehhhh I have this paper and project proposal due on Friday but all I can manage to do is watch New Girl on Netflix" way. Here's a short summation of certain parts of my life presented in the format of a list of specific skills I have honed this week, though:

Bravest When Alone, Courageous with Strangers

Fellow Bloggers and Audience Members Alike,

I may have dropped the ball this past month by not posting about the beginning of the school year, but fear not! I am back in action and plan to post consistently once again. Now let's see what I've been up to in a very non-linear temporal movement because, well, timey-wimey.

When I say jump, you say:
