#summer term

Moments of today. 7.22.25. Summertime. Ἡμέρα λαμπρὰ θέρους.

Waking up to love and encouragement, and it made me feel boosted and good about myself, and it stayed with me all day.

I had good classes today and I feel like my economics professor explained the concepts in a way I could understand.

I had good interactions today, and I feel like I’m having them more frequently, in different settings, and it feels good. And being told that I am having them more now felt great. I was able to initiate one today and then other classmates came around and I mentioned going to Commons and so we did. It felt good hanging out.

Very wonderful, meaningful, and deep moments of connection.

A great heavy-lifting lower-body workout tonight. I felt strong and solid on all my lifts. It felt good having another interaction at the gym.

Studying for my online exam in Ancient Greek History🏺

Hi, I love in Florida, the state where even indoors you get sunburnt! Here’s a list of things you’ll need if your headed to the beach:

Sun screen

Water

Snack if you don’t want to leave to eat since parking kinda sucks at the beach

Two towels, one to lay on, one to dry your self with (or one blanket and one towel to dry with)

A beach umbrella

A book, or something to pass time with

A bucket and shovel for the kiddos

A volleyball! Most public beaches have volleyball nets that the you can use!

One change of clothes so you don’t drive to your hotel/Home wet. It ruins the seats...

Things you don’t need:

Twenty changes of clothes

Six packs of sunscreen

17 coats of sunscreen, just reapply around every 1 and a half hours

Seven different shovels for your sand castle

You don’t need a cooler unless you’re planning on eating at the beach, something like... sandwiches or even to cool off your drinks, but you can keep those cool in a regular backpack.

You don’t need 5 towels for just you
