Cinema Paradiso (1988)

Some recently purchased books! (2 of them were actually given to me by my professor before graduating so yay for free books!)

is anyone else like……. exhausted? just way too tired? mentally and physically? and you look at other people your age who seem to be doing fine and you feel so dysfunctional and broken because normal adult tasks and responsibilities just feel way too overwhelming and you can’t cope and

Hey friends,

How are you? I have great news!! I got an A+ (1.0) in the hardest exam ever. I screamed so loud, I really could not believe it! It was the course I had feared the most. Mathematics have never been my favorite, so I really had to force myself to study - and it payed off. I'm really on the road of graduating with a 1.0 (A+) avarage and that just feels amazing. In the pictures you can see me studying for this exam. <3

Have an amazing day,

Sophia

spent today on campus getting some data science done and worked on my cue cards for my classes. there was a huge snowstorm, so I holed up in one of the study centres, made some soup and tried to ignore the fact that I had to bus home. productive day.

a scooby doo series set in community college where the gang is in a criminology class and end up in a huge debate on the first day of class that leads to them starting a podcast talking about local urban legends, only to realize things aren’t quite adding up and they go to investigate for ~journalistic authenticity~ and end up solving a real-life crime disguised as supernatural occurrences. this happens every week and they’re frequently featured on the school newspaper. they only have twenty listeners

i often take walks around the neighborhood in the evenings, and the other day i spotted a rabbit along the side of the street. i walked towards it and as one might expect, it hopped off into the brush. as i got closer i noticed there was actually a narrow path there i’d never noticed before.

i followed down this path and saw the rabbit again. as soon as i drew near it would hop off down the path a bit and seem to wait for me to catch up. it brought me to a magical little area i never knew existed, full of birds and frogs and a lovely section of wetlands.

i truly felt like a storybook character. i’m so glad i had my camera to snap photos of my adventure. i only had a 50mm lens so i was ill-prepared to photograph wildlife, but i went back again today with my zoom lens and captured some frogs and birds!

im going to tag all posts of and about this new place as “secret forest.’
