Semester 4 Chapter V: Spring Is in The Air

I hope I won’t jinx it but it really seems we are finally back on the spring shit for real. Temperature got somewhere between 15 and 20 degrees and even forecast says it should not drop anytime soon. Which is pretty awesome cause it means no more AC heating and no more cold in general.... A motherfucker gets to run with short sleeves now.... Plus this whole switch happens just in time for my dad to arrive this Friday... So weather-wise, I think I’m good again till like November... And man, that feels great...

So... The last week, I spent a lotta time in the library working on my dissertation proposal... I actually managed to do way more than I initially expected and I have last 2000 words to go... I hope I’ll be able to wrap it up today... After that, I’m covered and I can concentrate on more pleasant shit...

Outside of library, last week was pretty cool... Hanging out with the gang at the girls’ apartment, some drinks in bars... After a pretty long hiatus, me and my biking friend are back on our little gallery rides around the city too... Last Friday, we did the Powerstation and Madein Gallery... Plus some parks, walks... It’s cool being back on that once again and I’m sure we gonna make this thing regular again...

Later on that day, I went to this vegan potluck evening my vegan connect organized at her place. I’m 100% sure I said it multiple times already, but I really love these events. This time it was vegan pizza (with vegan cheese), some bamboo, muffins, purple potatoes, lotta fruit... I brought some black beans with pumpkin... Straight up vegan feast!

The weather is good enough these days for me to resume my occasional walks too... The anti-social in me really enjoys those big time... Just walking with no particular direction, absorbing the sun, not talking to anybody... Everything seems quite optimistic and pretty balanced these days. Another reason for me to move somewhere warm once I’m done here... All the clues say that I would be way better off in a place where winter just does not exist...

Highlights:

• So the three key buttons on my phone stopped working. This does not come off as a surprise given the fact what the phone has been through over the past almost two years. The rest of the display is still responsive so I downloaded this floating dot thing that kinda solves it. I’m gonna use this mothefucker until it falls apart, goddammit!
• Migos – Walk It, Talk It video. Didn’t really feel the track but the video really brought it somewhere else.
• Exhibition in Madein Gallery. This guy Yang Shen from Beijing... Really playful, disturbing and cyberpunkish paintings. This gallery is still among my favorite ones in the city.
