Things That Make Me Feel Scholarly

• a pony tail
• a button-up shirt
• a cardigan
• a string of pearls
• eating an apple on the way to class
• carrying my books in my hands and not in my backpack
• when those books are written by Homer
• a professor who makes classical Greek civilization absolutely thrilling
• when that professor knows how to make a bow tie work

It's been one of those rare days when I feel like one day I will grow up to be a brain surgeon, nay, a rocket scientist...
