💖Happy Valentine's Day (I think?) 💞 
 

Valentine’s Day is this weekend, and my Twitter timeline is flooded with people lamenting how difficult it is to be with their significant others during the pandemic. But fear not! I have found the perfect article through Good Housekeeping, called “17 Valentine's Day Ideas to Help You Celebrate Your Love at Home.”. Even if you don’t have a significant other, you can join me in making charcuterie boards for yourself. 

Is this a joke? Maybe. Maybe not.

While there aren’t any events on Valentine’s Day this month, I do recommend hanging out with the Museum Student Guides every Wednesday as they give thirty-minute talks on the discipline they are studying. Also, Meeting the Moment is continuing with its Story Exchanges, and this month’s theme is intimacy!

I wish you a great Week 5! We're halfway to spring! 😊
