Hi, all!
Currently at the library trying to catch up on some ochem and physics studying. Spent yesterday doing the finishing touches on my English essays. Friday, I worked my second job, and oh my god. It was quite literally the worst day on a job I've ever ever had. Is it just me or does it seem like people are becoming way more comfortable being cruel for no reason? Fortunately, I'm not the type to bite my tongue, so I did not allow what happened to go uncalled out. I don't understand this attitude people have where being mean to people making 80 bucks a day is somehow funny??? Grow up! Ugh.
Anyway, the good news is, if things keep looking good for me, a car may be in my near future. Just have to work out a few issues, but it's looking very plausible for the new year! It would be such a great help, considering right now I'm a bus girl. I don't mind it, tbh. I'll probably still use the bus once I have a car, regularly, but I definitely need the car for internships and such. Right now, my mom has to pretty much drive me everywhere that I need, so it's really inconvenient for her as well.
Okok. Back to work!
Hope everyoe is having a good weekend!
Thanks for reading!

Today I’ll start reading Wuthering Heights and I might even finish it before the end of January (still six days left, no biggie 💁🏻♂️) After I finish it, I have read 10 books in January! And here I was thinking completing a reading goal of 95 books in 2018 was unimaginable 🙊 . Bookmark by @whitesaturdayco ❤️✨

Anna Karenina (2017)
there is nothing stronger than a soft soul
Tried a new specialty coffee cafe, a new one that just popped up in the past year or so apparently. Spent a lazy late afternoon there. After a bit of zoning out and people watching, I started this book which I got from Hatchards earlier that same day.
“What is success? It is being able to go to bed each night with your soul at peace.”

The MARINA discography saga continues. Been a bit since I was so fixated on an artist, but her songwriting is a breath of fresh air.
My chemistry midterm is tomorrow, my math midterm (day before yesterday) went. Absolutely terribly. Because our teacher came up with original questions and cancelled stuff. So that's not a fun precedent for the rest of my internals.
I really enjoy chemistry so my concepts are definitely there, now I need to go through fine print.
