i am writing this while i sit in the dining room area of some dear friends' home. by a beautiful chance of fate perhaps, one of my dear friends is subletting from an apartment of another dear friend, and so he lives with some of our other dear friends. this means when i hang out with him and go to his apartment, i also get to hangout with his roommates (our friends!!!). life is beautiful in this way, how it brings you such great joys to participate in. he and i were at a mandatory event for a group we are part of on campus and there were so many leftovers. we took the food on a 30 minute haul to their place and they sat and enjoyed the food we brought for them. in turn, i got to hear about their weekends, how they spent superbowl sunday, and i got to gripe about the illness that has befallen me. they promptly brought me a glass of water, a glass of vitamin c and electrolytes, and a glass of special tea that is supposed to be healing. now we're all sitting at the dining table listening to our spotify blend and doing work together. the lighting is great in here, it doesn't hurt my eyes like the light has been hurting my eyes all day. it feels nice to be around people that make you feel good and want to take care of you. i will, now, be productive and finish my midterms, but i figured it would be nice to finally write a blog entry. i hope you find this heart warming as i have :)
