I went home for a pre-finals weekend of good food and child-style dress up.
I made my costume out of old fabric scraps and a recycled dress that I decided to bleach dye using bathroom cleaner. Then I borrowed a head piece and wings from my lovely faerie festival friend.
I've been going to the festival for the past three years. I absolutely love this atmosphere - it is so welcoming and accepting to people of all sorts, the ultimate be yourself dreamland. When people ask what it is, I describe it as super similar to a renaissance fair but with hippies dressed up as faeries and other fantasy characters. So there's food vendors, accessories, and performers among other things. I got a pretty nasty sun burn on my chest and shoulders, but it was worth it for such great vibes.
I went to a lovely brunch in downtown York with my parents on Sunday morning at the White Rose. Of course I took advantage of it being Cinco de Mayo to wear a festive outfit and make festive food for the family. Below, you can see my dad eating a gigantic fish taco.
I'll be home in just one more week. This is very exciting. However, it will be a raw week of pushing through lengthy paper writing and packing up my little life. Needless to say, I'm excited to leave dorm living and eat homecooking for a few weeks. My anxiety about starting out on my own this summer is definitely increasing, but it's healthy anxiety.
Good luck to anyone else who is doing finals!
Smiles, Morgen.
