Tell Me on a Friday #4: Bad Winter
Hi-ho readers, If you know me well, you know that I could always sleep just “five more minutes,” which then turns into two more hours. But what is that feeling? One of my favorite newsletters, What’s the Difference?, recently explored the differences between sleepiness, fatigue, tiredness, and exhaustion. I’m not sure which I’m landing on this […]
Tell Me on a Friday #3: Chrimbo Limbo
Hi-ho readers, I’m coming at you live from my last day off of this incredibly long holiday break. I’m doing some work that I was not very good about keeping up with last week, but in my defense, I was very busy sleeping 18 hours a day at my parents’ house. Places to Go, People […]
Tell Me on a Friday #2: Get on Your Feet, It’s the Holidays!
Hi-ho readers, I got paid, so it’s time for another edition of Tell Me on a Friday! Places to Go, People to See I have eaten at a few restaurants that are new to me over the past two weeks, including Rio Kitchen and Wine in Crown Heights (highly recommend for a mellow Saturday brunch) and Nom Wah […]
Tell Me On a Friday #1: Many Happy Returns
Hi-ho readers, A long time ago (five years ago), in a galaxy far, far away (the United Kingdom), I wrote a weekly newsletter while I studied abroad in London. I’m glad I wrote that frequently; it served as a public diary for a time during which I was worried I’d forget details. Now it seems overly ambitious. […]
Capstone Update #2: The End
I’m choosing to include this picture from Opening Convocation because it’s generally how I feel — looking back while begrudgingly moving forward, in a polyester robe. In 129 I won’t be able to complain anymore (unless I go to graduate school), so I’m kind of relishing the moment before submitting this and actually moving onto […]
Capstone Update #1: Technical Difficulties
The idea for interviewing bright Wheaton alumnae who have pursued careers in the creative industries hatched in October. However, due to a bouquet of unforeseen issues and also, the rest of my life, the brunt of the work has been done over the past few weeks from my childhood bedroom. Yes, it’s winter break, and […]
File #22: Render
Hi-ho readers, I considered this a vacation week, even though I had class on Monday and Tuesday. Not having work left me with so much time to…do things! On Monday I took a walk through Hyde Park (which is so close to my building) and realized very quickly that I had walked all the way […]
File #21: Trudging along
Hi-ho readers, I thought about actually changing the date of these to Tuesday but then I would end up writing them on Thursday. Blech. I did not do a whole lot this week as it was my last week of work. I went on a shoot very far away (in zone 2) on Wednesday so I […]
File #20: Chin-chin
Hi-ho readers, I tried writing this last night but was too tired and too sad (from no longer being in Madrid). I really would like to be in Madrid and not at my desk right now. But! We move on. Now for the recap of last week. On Sunday I had lunch with my friend […]
File #19: IT’S MY BIRTHDAY
Hi-ho readers, I don’t think I’m very good at doing this on time. BUT IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY SO IT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER. I am 21 and plan on doing some U.S.-style legal drinking and a candlemaking class. Feel free to send me free gifts and/or cash. I need drink money. the face of a […]
