5.24- Saturday

Took a small break from school for the past three days and jumped back in this morning with some readings on argument credibility and fallacies. I’m really enjoying this critical thinking class. It’s a very nice break from discrete math.

2025. 03. 03 | Lighting from Sunday to Monday

I’m working from home today bc this weekend has completely destroyed my body.

For some reason, work is giving me energy I didn’t know I had and I ran a 10k with bestie in prep for the half marathon in May. (Who am I??)

Then immediately hosted a dinner gathering with friends, woke up late the next morning to have a large lunch to sustain ourselves for the day festival, where we danced for 8 hours. Sunday, bestie came over to sit in the sun and walk a couple hours in the city center to browse some books and debrief the festival. We had a big dinner together, courtesy of A, and talked til she went home.

I intended to get up and go this morning, but my body told me no. So I’m working from home today, hoping my Teams status doesn’t turn yellow as I make my way through environmental thermodynamics calculations and our stinky second child tries to participate by stepping on my keyboard.
