Oxymoronic observations about blogging:
1. The more free time you have for blogging, the less material you have to blog about. It’s an inconvenient inverse relation, but not one I’ve faced this summer.
2. The more life you live, the less time you have for recording it. An opposite situation with a similar outcome.
3. The longer you wait to blog, the less you find yourself able to remember stories to blog about (yet another unfortunate thing).

What a weekend!!!
June 26, 2014
The highlight of my week thus far:
June 22, 2014
Saturday: Woken up unnecessarily early by my dear friend Joanna, who felt lonely being the only person awake at 8 a.m. Cleaned the apartment (good for my mental health) and then spent a couple of hours at one of my favorite cafes so far, a place called Joe’s over by Columbia. It’s on the second floor of a corner building and sports a wall and a half of floor-length windows, which not only let in tons of natural light but also afford a super fun view of the street intersection. I am a fan of the place also because they gave me a coupon for a free drink after forgetting to fill my order. Also they have delicious vegan chocolate chip cookies.

Happy hour, Fall Out Boy and a rooftop party: Does this sound fun yet?
Thursday: A productive day at Slow Food, laying out the organizational foundations of our magazine production (setting deadlines, organizing to-do lists, etc.). Met up with a friend of a friend for happy hour downtown. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to her, and we sat there for a solid two hours. We both declined a third drink when the bartender asked, but he treated us to it anyway, so I walked home feeling decidedly tipsy. Got home around 8 p.m. and could think of nothing productive that I was capable of doing, so decided pretty quickly to just go to bed in anticipation of my next morning.
