distance learning in a nutshell.
gloomy days and online classes
dress up just to study, chew on the caps of your highlighters while you scribble notes in the margins of your books, put your feet up on your desk and drink cinnamon tea with too much sugar, learn calligraphy and write your favorite quotes on pages of old books and tape them to your wall, drink wine and read in the bath and use that bathbomb you keep forgetting is in your cabinet, play your favorite music play classical music play music from the 20s and dance down your hallway just because, call your friends and read aloud like each word is the most important one on the page, see if you can light enough candles to not need to use a lamp and open your window even though it’s cold, go for a walk and see if you can take a turn you haven’t taken before, live life as a challenge of how fun and dramatic a tiny world can be
saturday reading
the history students
hanging photos of ancient monuments on your walls
memorizing dates, creating a timeline in your mind’s eye
slow violin music
browsing wikipedia late at night
learning the constellations and wondering how many people have looked at them before you
crumbling buildings and faded paper
adding detail in the margins of your textbooks for the stuff they left out
soft sweaters and messy hair
pages of notes, written and underlined and studied again and again
watching documentaries for fun
analyzing primary sources, picking apart biases from fact
a cup of herbal tea on the desk, keeping you grounded
a hunger to understand all that has gone before you
sunsets that turn the sky the golden color of aged parchment
collecting biographies of your favorite historical figures, piling them on your shelf
treasured family heirlooms
notes written in fountain pen, hands stained with ink
visiting the same museum exhibits over and over, knowing there’s always more to learn
studying by candlelight
thick textbooks spread out across your desk
treating history as a cautionary tale, turning pages of notes into lessons for the future
slytherin is
long walks in the snow; a gentle blush across your cheeks on a cold day; knitting by candlelight; reading shakespeare even though you don't understand it, just because it looks impressive; choosing favourites from the younger students; someone pushing a curl behind your ear; forehead kisses; fountain pens; black coffee with too much sugar; crying to classical music; writing love letters; being sent flowers by your lover; silver jewellery; messy french braids; eating mint choc chip ice cream instead of an actual meal; being best friends with your professors.
