Today, I got as much camp work done as I did in the past two days combined! It still wasn't a lot of work, but I am hopeful that my productivity is on the rise!

I also finished watching Jane the Virgin. I cannot believe that there won't be any more episodes for me to laugh/cry/yell at the TV over. My favorite wholesome twists were:
*************************MODERATE SPOILERS AHEAD*************************

  1. When Petra, the often difficult character who tried to be artificially inseminated at the start of the show in order to trap her husband in their marriage, becomes a mother and is actually really good at it. 
  2. Throughout the show, the narrator has been along for the ride with us as a character and audience member. In the series finale, Jane's son Matteo reads a story aloud at a wedding ceremony. He shouts very loudly, as his great-grandmother instructed him to. When Jane comments on his projection, he says "Abuela says that I would be a great telenovela narrator". The narrator reveals that he has been Matteo all along through the response "And I am". 
For this game, we sat in the ninth row. This Fan Conduct Advisory was taped to our seats, reminding us that the Fan Conduct Advisor is "particularly important for fans (like you) with seats in close proximity to the playing court.

Tonight, my family and I went to another Mercury game. Despite Brittney Griner still being suspended, we won! It was a close game, and it was exciting to come to a successful game after last week's loss.

Otherwise, it has been a relatively uneventful day. I hope that you are doing well!

Best wishes,
Lydia

The Grouchiest Blog Post

Hello! This post is literally just Grumpy Lydia complaining. If that sounds miserable, congratulations! You have my full permission to click away now. If that sounds like something you wouldn't mind reading, please enjoy and/or suffer through this list of Lydia's Miseries. I was on vacation in Italy all last week, which means that there are many lingering tasks that have not been completed. My flight was delayed on Monday, which means that I missed class, which has led to me being even more behind.  Housing selection was yesterday, and I am trying to force myself to come to terms with the fact that I'm pretty much definitely going to be living alone next year, which will contribute to my depression next year and makes me feel lonely in the present. There are just, like, a lot of lingering thoughts that I cannot find the words to write about.  It is cold and wet and sad outside, which means that a Self-Imposed Walk to Help With Lingering Sadness would probably jus...

Reviewing My August 2019 Goals

This is an image of my desk during Fall Semester 2018. On the right side of the photo, there is a vintage Singer sewing machine which, unfortunately, does not work. To the left of the sewing machine, there is a crate books inside. On top of the crate, there is a stack of Rookie Yearbooks with a crocheted jellyfish (wearing glasses) on top of it, and a picture frame containing a print that reads "all the time". To the left of the crate, there are a few more books. In lieu of a proper bookend, I have placed a tarot deck (stored in a black makeup bag) and a book-themed Halloween decoration (featuring book spines with the words "Potions", "Hexes", and "Spells") to keep my books from toppling over. I chose this photograph because, unlike my current desk, this desk looks like it belongs to someone who creates monthly goals. Hello! At the start of this month, I made a list of goals. As September 1 draws near, I am l...

A Brief Reflection on the Practice of Blogging Daily

Image of a canyon in White Rock, New Mexico. There is a ridge in the horizon of the picture, with orange-brown rock. The canyon is dry and dirt-covered, with small bushes and trees dotted near the bottom. A green pine tree sits in the bottom left corner of the frame. Hello! I seem to be in a season of my life where I am eager to start a project, but struggle to follow through. *stares at sentimental items on my desk that been sitting there for days, waiting for me to sort through them*  By blogging every day this month, I am trying to create some consistency, and to keep Slanted Rays from becoming just another abandoned project. This habit has become surprisingly well-ingrained, even with yesterday's post being written in my parents' car on the way to Sonic at 10 PM. At the same time, maintaining a daily post schedule is a bit exhausting. It's weird to sometimes create meaningful content that I really enjoy, while also occasionally churning out words just so that I...
