Start of semester two! I'm happy to be back at St. Lawrence and back in zero-degree weather (though it feels like -8) I am back into my routine of derailed study dates, night walks, and lesson planning- I'm currently creating a reading analysis unit using Rick Roerdin's The Red Pyramid. It is absolutley cathartic to lesson plan around one of my favorite books growing up. I've also started all of my new classes for the semester-- geology, American history since WWII, comparative political science, and the history of biology, all of my teachers seem lovely so far, although having daily quizzes this semester is brutal. A couple *very* important life updates: I am currently deeply invested in keeping my friend's marigold alive-- I'm failing miserably at the moment, but I have hope. My rock collection has finally made it up to school with me so now I'm one of the crystal girlies and I can't wait to tell everybody that they're only frustrated with me...
