Calm explorations

Wednesday was significantly calmer. To start, I finished a paper in record time. In keeping with my procrastinating nature, I had put of writing a briefing on a protest or demonstration I had attended while In D.C. In my defense, I had written one in early September, but because my computer had crashed, I had lost the document – and since, had lost my drive/desire to write another. So I got up at 8 a.m., worked on my paper for an hour and a half, and had a completed protest paper done by 9:30 a.m. After that, I went to the Smithsonian Museum of American History, which has an entire wing devoted to Disney. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I was only able to see the wings having to do with the American presidency and America’s involvement in wars.

.

After that, I was able to meet with a friend over coffee to discuss books we had read. Sitting in a Caribou, drinking a warm cup of perfectly made – including the necessary sugar and cream -- coffee, and discussing all of the unique, interesting insights we had was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon.
