Most of my Friday college classes got cancelled thanks to snow, so I’ve been holed up in my bedroom doing homework, drinking hot cocoa, and pretending I’m in Narnia.

Mega thanks to Adelyn for the tag!

  2. I love your words -- the rhythm gives me such a soothing feeling :D AND YES THE FORCE AWAKENS AAAAH. I'm not much a fan for marker ink, but it does have a great image. And yay for salt air and teacups!

    1. I loved The Force Awakens so much--maybe not quite as much as the originals, but it was still beyond wonderful and I can't wait for the sequels!

    1. The Force Awakens was actually pretty devastating in some ways, but Rey is everything my eight-year-old self wished she could be if she got dropped into Star Wars. You're welcome--I loved your post!

  4. Eep! I have been TAGGED! I am in such a blogging slump and this might be just what I need to tug me back out... new goal for this week! Thanks, Alex! :)

    (I adore your list of favourite words! Especially 'fathom'.)
