Weekly Recap #8, 2021

Coming at you a little late this morning! I’ve had a very slow start to the day and am finally getting this week’s recap posted. It was another very busy few days of school, and I think I speak for all my friends when I say we’re hitting that ‘Week 6 fatigue’. Since my school is on a quarter system instead of a semester system, classes move SO quickly, and Week 6 is usually the point where people just get tired of school altogether. I know I’m ready for spring break… definitely dreaming of warmer weather! But until then, here are this week’s wintry outfits.

Monday, February 15

I spent the day completing a lot of miscellaneous tasks and did another surprise workout with my friend in the afternoon. It was my turn to plan the workout, so I put together a bunch of resistance band exercises for our arms. It ended up being pretty tough! But also, I have no arm strength whatsoever, so there’s that.

Tuesday, February 16

I didn’t have my 8am class today, so instead I slept in a little before starting homework—the usual stuff. My boyfriend and I made red curry with beef for dinner—which was SO good—and then watched “The Crown” on Netflix. I also declared a Psychology minor today! I only need three more classes to get the minor, and since I have room in my schedule, I figured I might as well. In other news, I’ve never paired this top, vest, and jeans together before, but I thought this outfit was really cute and different.

Wednesday, February 17

I spent much of today working for my research assistant position and then doing homework. In the afternoon, I recruited my boyfriend to help me take some blog photos on a cute nearby street! As a little treat, we got boba/bubble tea afterwards (I really have no idea which drink is which, but it’s so fun to eat because of those strange little balls at the bottom). When I got back to the apartment, I was surprised to notice our freezer was leaking… yay! So my roommate and I spent the night trying to deal with that.

Thursday, February 18

I didn’t have my 8am, again, but I did have to meet one-on-one with the professor for ten minutes or so, followed by an appointment with my academic advisor (registration for spring quarter is already next week!). Once I finished my classes for the day, a maintenance guy came to fix the freezer which, of course, was working perfectly fine now. Figures. After dinner, I invited some of my girlfriends to a trivia event on campus and we ended up chatting for an hour after the event finished! I don’t see my friends very often now because of Covid, so it was nice for us to catch up.

Friday, February 19

I was in a bit of a ~mood~ today so I spent most of the morning laying in bed, being extremely unproductive. I threw on this casual look, but I think these grey jeans and blush top would look just as cute dressed up with a snakeskin belt, booties, and a cool jacket. I went on a walk with my friend in the afternoon, as it was so warm outside, and joined a Zoom call for the College Blogger Babes community at 6pm. This was my first time meeting and chatting with other bloggers my age, and I have to say, it was SO nice to talk to other girls who get how hard it is to balance school, blogging, and a job. Such a fun time! Oh, and then I took my take-home Remote Sensing midterm at 9pm—wild Friday night, am I right?
