Carpe caffeine, the exams are upon us | dark academia cinematic vlog

I drank more tea than I actually studied, I think. Braincells, awaken! It is not summer yet--close, but not yet. May we all get 300s on our tests and 7's on our AP's (if ye be a miserly high schooler as I am--other folk, whatever scoring/test system you have). May your toast never be burnt, and your rooms never stupid humid, and your pencil lead never broken, and your pens never out of ink, and your minds always lively, and whatnot!
captions say the afternoon tea was yixing hongcha, but now that I think about it, it was probably actually a Mi Lan Xiang dancong oolong. I shouldn't trust my brain in the evening.
0:00 brewing morning tea
1:57 breakfast
3:14 studying
4:42 journaling
6:24 afternoon tea
7:30 almond hazelnut yoghurt
9:07 the evening
teas, if anyone out there was interested:
1) yixing hongcha (black)
It tastes like how honey smells, but without actual sweetness, which I like. Bitter honey-chocolate, if that's any way to put it 😂
2) mi lan xiang dancong (oolong): eh, I don't think I like roasted oolongs. Some people will love it.
3) at 9:12; supermarket sencha: I don't like this version. Supermarket stuff is roulette.
4) Florence (black, flavoured from Harney and Sons): chocolate, tis nice enough

Marvellous girl. Watching you, with your dip pens and film cameras, your Schubert earworm and escapes into 'Gaudy Night', drinking your oolong (and other teas I've never heard of), eating your boiled egg and yoghurt (I have to say I gasped 'no!' when I saw you sprinkle the dry tea onto it 😲), while berating yourself for forgetting your grandmother's Mandarin verbs, I am lost in wonder. And still you stop and make these beautiful films to entertain old bodies like me (and others, and yourself, of course!) Whenever I ask myself what has become of the world, I shall think of you, and say 'Bluetoadflax' is what, and it is enough.
All the very best for the exams, and whatever comes afterwards.

Thank you ever so much! ☺
I wish I could send a hug, because I don't know how to half express how pleased and grateful I am for your kind words. I really did just sit here for five minutes smiling to myself goofily, and how to translate that into words? ♥
