FINALS WEEK FUCK FUCK FUCK

I haven't written anything since last Friday because of these things keeping me SO BUSY:

• the Chicago Methodist Senior Services Christmas Luncheon with Martha

• Ice skating at MAGGIE DALEY with Mo

• Study retreat at LUREC with Kate Sully (where we got to walk through the trees during the sunset and also during the sunrise and saw deer and ate communal meals and read before bed and worked on exam prep all weekend)
• INFS Group presentation that made me want to rip all my hair out
• it turned out pretty good though and I was proud of the parts I made and Dinko said mine were well done which is kind of like when Dumbledore gives Harry Potter a compliment
• Strategic management final
• gym
• FINALLY got slaughterhouse 5 from the library (shoutout to Cole for the recommendation), it's awesome because it's nothing like what I thought it would be like
• wow I think that's most of it

but like what does all this MEAN
it means that I could spend my whole life listing things I am grateful for and I would never finish and if you abandon the CORNINESS of that and like reeeeaallly see it for what it is... what is it? it's a mountain or an ocean or a big gust of wind or bald eagles or the end of Nomadland when Swankie talks about those birds
too many of us think it's stupid to look Love in the eye
