More bookstore pics. Did some research today for my archaeology paper at the nearby coffee shop. I’m doing it on Peggy Piggot because we LOVE women archaeologists in this household.

Haven’t posted in a while but my finals are over and a new semester has started. I’m currently back home for the time being because my classes are online again but I’m honestly kind of happy about that because I prefer my study space at my parents house. My study space back at my dorm is kinda drab if I’m honest. I’m really excited for all of my classes because pretty much all of them are either Scandinavian courses or anthropology courses. What course are you most excited to do this semester?

a winter studying aesthetic

warming your hands on a mug of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate

settling in to study under a pile of blankets

short days, waking for your first class while it’s still dark

your favorite sweater, worn and wearing thin 

walking from one class to the next, face shielded from the wind by a hand-knitted scarf

writing even as your fingers grow stiff with cold

a glow of warm, flickering candlelight

getting distracted by snow falling just outside your window

working diligently, pushing through to the end of the semester

deep, calming breaths before a big test that turn to fog in the frigid air

a glimpse of the sun, low on the horizon

long novels piled on your bedside table

taking a study break to have a snowball fight with your friends
