midterm day is upon us

-

 hey blog readers... midterm day (ie. 3 midterms in one day) is upon us. I should be in the final stages of studying. but i am writing another blog entry instead so... you win some and you lose some I guess.

I am studying for my astronomy exam on Thursday and the textbook keeps talking about a Carrington event... like yeah, darling, i KNOW who is back from jail. Related but unrelated: me and my friend Lauren were trying to call our brothers at the same time and make them talk to each other on speakerphone. Her brother was in the library and my brother didn't pick up because he's in an Uber. I told him to put me on speakerphone and I would have "darling guess who's back from jail." But my brother hates fun it seems.

I am currently at a coffee shop called Haven (I love this place it does not make me think of a wistful rainy spring day and it DEFINITELY doesn't make me think about the end). My German professor Brigit mentioned it in the first class and I was like: THIS is my academic comeback. I really hope Natasha is here again because I love staring at her like I know who she is, she knows who I am, I know her best friend, she knows my best friend, I helped her mother buy glasses, my mom remains an enigma to her. But last time when we were both here it was CRAZY. Side note: whoever invented the playlist at Haven deserves a reward.

I went to a study group with my friends from sociology and we went to crazy town studying. First off, Kelly (professor) is truly a hero because she fully read out the first four out of seven questions on the midterm in class. So we started with making up the next three questions and then we went to mind map city, which was extremely hard because everything is connected to each other and everything is connected back to Kelly's BFF Jennifer from Western (canon). Worth mentioning: everyone was talking about the coffee guest lecture guy and I WASN'T THERE. and so I googled him and announced to everyone: he is kind of from yummy town. That may have been a low point. Julia also looked at my outfit when I got to class and said it was a slay. So I did the Yared Nuguse peace sign (Blogspot won't allow me to inusert the photo... look it up) and Julia told me THAT was not a slay so ... the point is I am feeling good about this midterm. 

I will not talk about my physiology because I have nothing to say except that Francoise is truly a hero for doing the online multiple choice midterm with a second attempt of only the questions you got wrong. Hopefully I don't have to send her anymore emails she is FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE in the Outlook inbox just like Ambrose vs Blackboard and the BIOL 2050 quiz 2. Technology's ability to destroy old people will never cease to amaze me. 

THE END <3

Purifying my blog

-
 Hi everyone. I am not dead (is this how I start blog posts now?, probably). My blog has seen me through some of the most troubling times of 2024-2025 (examples: midterm day 2024, when I thought I was being followed by the ghost of my high school enemy, realizing I work for a mega-corporation and famously, thinking the guy I was into was my cousin). But what have I accomplished? When have I said that life is good?  It is time to play catch up since February. First order of business – people who are so cute I would pick them up and shake them: Jenny (biophysics professor), Annie (boss), Blondshell (popstar), Clementina (neighbour). Speaking of, I was at the Blondshell concert last week and may I say that I was blown away. I kept telling her – "Sabrina! It's me, Veronica!!! You got me through rock bottom in 2023, remember!?" Let's just say she didn't remember me – she was one playing salad away from me collapsing to the floor in the venue and letting out a guttural,...

travel blog + trip review (feb 2026)

 I was on a trip for my fateful reading week, and it has been so lovely. As per the requests of many, I was to create a travel vlog, like I had for my Frankfurt trip (send me a message for the link!), but tbh it didn't turn out in the way I would have liked (as in I have taken very few videos). So I will take an alternate route and write about it (novel idea). I will also figure out how to add photos. Currently sitting in the Brussels airport – note to future self, bring a plastic see-through bag next time you fly through here – by the smoking area because it's the only place with tables, and I like having a table to use as a workspace.  This review will go as follows: I will review the five countries I visited + I will review the museums and touristy things I went to + I will review the food I ate (that wasn't homemade). Just as an explanation to the people, I was sick for a few days in there so I did not eat too much.  review: the Netherlands I was in the Netherlands fr...

cop or drop 2026: life is NOT embarrassing

-
Image
 Something I thought to invent while reminiscing on my Trays (Trent + days) were the Trentds (Trent + trends) I followed with my Triends (Trent + friends). One that has snuck its way into modern (ie. today's) lingo is "life is embarrassing."  The cop [ja] or drop [nee] committee 2026 (aka "yay or nay," "boom or doom," "in or out") has voted to drop/ nee/ doom/ out "life is embarrassing" because, well, let's embrace the cringe this year – things are only embarrassing if you let them be, this is indeed true, I have recently realized. Now I will share a story of how I recently overcame something that one would absolutely consider embarrassing #resilient #strong. [some of you wonder how I get myself into these situations, I will let you invent your own theories].  Yesterday I was at a going away party for my oldest friend (as in friend I have known the longest). She is going to China for 2+ years. My family doctor is her aunt.  We w...
