Happy Friday! I heard there was a solar eclipse back home a few weeks ago!! Did you see it??? Mom and Aaron didn’t get to since it was overcast — they did not even tell me it was happening. But it’s so cool?? Apparently it was the early morning, so perhaps you were sleeping or in school, but if school won’t give everyone a few minutes to look for the eclipse, that sucks!!
Not too much has happened this week. I’ve mostly been studying. There’s a very nice room of old books in my dorm where it is quiet and easy to work without distraction. I can’t do it well in the library — it is too loud and crowded. How is school for you? I’m in the classics club here, and I got to make a pot on Wednesday, but I am busy next week and probably won’t get to paint it — if nothing works out, I’ll do it at home. Mom has started to make wreathes for Christmas, getting pine branches from the woods. She’s hung some over the kitchen windows, which looks nice, and she’s buying some ribbon. It’s more decorative than we usually get, I quite like it.
Look how festive!
I suppose that is all going on of late. I am rather homesick and will be glad to get home for winter break. We also have spring break too, apparently, which will be nice. They are both a month long — why not just chop off two weeks from each and end a month early at that point? Whatever the case, wherever you are, I hope you’re doing alright. It is so rough to live at times. I love you.
With love,
Alice
