When I Should Be Studying

Man it feels good to be back!! I have not created or posted a bullet journal blog post since the beginning of the year. I truly missed it but also needed the break. I was busy with work and honestly uninspired to create more spreads than what I was using in my personal bullet journal. In this blog post I am sharing 4 different 4th of July weekly bullet journal spreads.

The first book I read this year on the topic of race was Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi . I knew that Such a Fun Age was also centered around the issue of race but in a different way than Homegoing. When I had the opportunity to buy this book secondhand I knew I was meant to read it.  Content of

Reasons for Reading This Book: I read Our Country Friends by Gary Shteynahr for the reason that I am a member of The Readheads Podcast book club. This book was chosen for the April episode. After hearing the description given about the book when it was announced I was excited to read it. This was the first book I was reading that was about a pandemic and I was interested to see how a group of friends lives' looked when they quarantined together. I went into this book really excited about it. Content of This Book: A group of friends quarantine together in upstate New York during the pandemic. The group of friends are staying at a Russian-born professor/writer, his Russian-born psychiatrist wife, their K-Pop obsessed daughter's country house. The group of friends is made up of a struggling Indian-American writer, a successful Korean-American app developer, a world traveler, a young essayist, and a movie star, known as The Actor. Together the group experiences 6 months of isolat
