I went to a used book sale with some of my friends and bought A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard and Saving Fish From Drowning by Amy Tan. I also bought Slide by Jill Hathaway on my Kindle!

Other news and highlights

• I started work and it’s been great so far! I have a little downtown office and work in an office of all women, and it’s been great.
• My mom did a lecture at the university she works at, and (as expected) she was amazing 💖💖 you can watch it here if you’re interested in mental health imaging research!
• One of my friends is doing an internship at the Smithsonian this summer (!!) so we had a birthday/going-away party for her at an arcade, and it was a lot of fun!
• My family and I went to Revelstoke for the long weekend because it was sunny, and it was a lot of fun.
• My brother and I have been rock climbing a lot lately, and it’s been great! It’s fun to be able to see myself actually get better at something.
• One of my other friends is going to Kenya for six months, so we had a going-away get together for her. Some dentists asked us the order we put water/toothpaste on our toothbrushes (I go toothpaste then water, my friends do water then toothpaste), and it started a discussion on how much brushing your teeth sucks.
• I made new blog headers (again) because I got bored with the old ones, and I like them a lot! But now I’m getting bored with the colour so don’t be surprised if it changes at some point lmao

 

How was your May? Let me know!!
