The CSM Library

Literally had the best day ever. I have so many ideas for the Study Statement now. Thank god for libraries!

All of the keywords were explored: Feminism, Surrealism, Dadaism, all the relevant -isms that aren’t -isms, et al.

Also, there were 2.5 other people, the library was pretty much desert, which was amazing. I must admit that I am very antisocial when it comes to calm research moments, heh.
