I'm actually proud of myself- these past two days I've been fairly productive. I started priming a day prior and its been really effective so far! The info stuck and i found myself able to answer most of the questions the teachers asked during classes
I haven't been insanely productive but to me it's really smth considering the fact that I would go days (and sometimes weeks) without studying back in 11th grade. Hoping this continues :))
the funniest part of the secret history is that even though it's a satirical commentary about the effects of elitism and pomposity of certain academia, the fandom is full of people WANTING to be those pretentious Greek students. tartt i think your writing had the opposite of the intended effects ....

Some photos I took of the Columbus Module at the National Space Centre
Love the contrast between the Americans’ “Apollo” and the Soviets’ “Sputnik.” You got the Americans naming their rocket after a Greek god trying to communicate the grandness and importance of this rocket. And you got the Soviets naming their rocket “fellow traveler.” Like a friend you go on an adventure with together. This rocket is our little friend lol
