i got back home on the 31st yay!!! happy to be home :) but i’ll probably start missing my family again asap. i bought some new clothes while i was in turkey (everything’s from pull and bear; it’s my favorite european store!!) also reread a childhood favorite book of mine: and then there were none. did anyone else go through an agatha christie phase/addiction in middle school ??

also!!! got my ap scores back (ap language + world history) and got 5′s on both??? (for non-us folk, that’s the highest score you can get) i feel over the moon considering i got a 2 last year on ap gov :) excited to save some money in college now

i was on a college visit during august 5+6 so i thought i’d include the prompts for those days as well!

5th august - what is your ultimate summertime song?

oh definitely anything by the band summer salt!! especially their song heart and my car :)

6th august - what is your favorite summertime movie?

la la land

7th august - do you read a lot in the summer?

happy to say that this year: YES! somehow i got back into the groove of reading and i’m trying to do it every day. since june, i’ve read the road less traveled, the girls (by emma cline), (i attempted) a portrait of the artist as a young man, and how the garcia girls lost their accent. currently about to start a couple of novels by ian mcewan! most of this is prep for my ap lit class haha :)

La lecture au jardin (1908-10). Henri Lebasque (French, 1865-1937). Oil on canvas.

Lebasque took on a similar flatness in his forms and colors as Les Fauves, though the effect was subtiler in Lebasque’s works. In 1924, he moved to Le Cannet on the French Riviera, where he shared a manikin with his friend Bonnard. Lebasque, called by critics and artists the painter of “joy and light,” was admired for the intimacy of his themes and the unique joy in his colors and forms.

february productivity challenge, day two: what are you reading right now?

my current read is the bird way by jennifer ackerman, which is a non-fiction book all about different bird behaviours/characteristics!! super interesting if you’re a bird fan, i’m about 100 pages in and have already annoyed my family and friends with many bird facts

in terms of productivity, today was ok. i fought with rstudio and lost, but had a productive meeting with my honours supervisor!
