Dont Forget To Stop And Smell The Flowers - Blog Posts
I can’t believe it’s already spring, it doesn’t even feel like it with how cold it is! Anyway these are the vibes i’m giving off this spring
I am starting uni on September 16th. I am scared, as I don't know anybody (all of my friends are going to other colleges, and studying things far more useful than literary studies and classics).
A couple months back I went on a tour of the humanities faculty building and it is absolutely beautiful, it looks like it could belong in a Donna Tartt novel, or a Shirley Jackson story: creepy, kind of unsettling, old, reminiscent of gothic architecture, beautiful.
I am excited, but also extremely confused, when I was building my timetable I realized none of my classes were on Fridays, and upon further research I found out there is no class on Fridays. I am confused about that.
Anyway, as I do every year before school starts, or, As I've done for the past three years, I will be re-reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt. I have had to buy a new copy because the one I've had since 2021 is so used the pages fall off. I am currently reading The Goldfinch, also by Donna Tartt.
Have a good academic year, lots of love,
Anna.
I start pre evaluation exams on Monday, the first exam I have is art history, on ancient Greek and Roman art. I like the subject but I hate the people in my class and the professor doesn't teach really well.
I think I am coming down with a cold, I read half a book yesterday while I was laying in bed feeling a little bit sick.
Anyways, Love u so much. Do not forget to study, but also: do not forget to drink water, eat pastries, take long walks, watch TV, read cool books.
Xx, Anna 🫶🏻
