Green Mode! And Other Tales.
Hi everyone!
Smith went into green mode today (explanation of operation modes here), and this is exciting because while we still don’t have access to the Campus Cafe or Neilson Library quite yet, those are coming in the near future! Not only that, but we can now use common spaces in houses! Living rooms, kitchens - we can even have up to two guests in our rooms!
This sounds like my life is very sad and, well, while that’s accurate to an extent (look at me go, a whole comedian), the bar has been set pretty low by COVID-19; for good reason! But since humans are social animals, we’ve all taken a bit of a hit because of social distancing, and getting crumbs of our lives back feels like an incredible achievement. It wasn’t even as unusual as starting to see people back on campus! I think I already had that ‘culture shock’ a few weeks ago, and my brain got used to it enough to miss genuine interactions with both Smith College, the people, and Smith College, the place.
[I would just like to present a brief intermission of how the paragraph above perfectly illustrates how ADHD works in my brain. Moving on-]
As a short Day In My Life Now That Everything’s Excited Because We’re In Green Mode, I woke up (didn’t oversleep! was very proud), did a little bit of bullet journaling (which I haven't gotten round to in ages and was missing dearly!), got dinner, went to an amazing Presidential Colloquium about Black Futures, did some work and am currently studying into the night in my little corner of Wilder House.
Oh! And I started the hundred days of productivity 'challenge' today - it was a good day. I really hope I can get a repeat of the good vibes. See ya later!
