Study bunker activated

Sarah texted at noon asking if she could bring her “emergency study kit” over because her apartment was too quiet and making her anxious. Twenty minutes later she showed up with two tote bags full of textbooks, three different colored pen sets, and enough highlighters to mark up half the library.

We’ve been at this for three hours now and somehow found our rhythm. She’s got her systematic highlighting method going while I’m making connection charts on loose paper scattered everywhere. Jake came home from his errands, took one look at our living room disaster, and just quietly made us both coffee without being asked.

Found our groove after an hour of productive panic.

The weird thing is how much better I understand this material when I’m explaining it to someone else, even though Sarah probably knows it better than I do. She keeps asking these questions that make me think differently about concepts I thought I had down. We’re both stressed about next week’s deadlines, but there’s something comforting about being stressed together.

Pretty sure we’re going to be here until midnight, but at least the coffee’s good and we’ve got momentum now.
