Elven word of the day, 128/?
kurwē from primitive elvish
Meaning “skill of hand, power, ability”
It was from this word that curwë in Quenya and Curu in Sindarin derived
Note: primitive Elvish was the language developed and spoken at Cuiviénen. It is from this that other elven languages developed and their roots can be traced back

Not really aesthetic, but it sure is realistic.
I honestly adore this part of the semester. The calm right before the storm that is finals week. I have about 4 weeks until this semester is over and I'm sad but also excited for this summer. I haven't secured an internship for my fellowship yet, but I have a feeling something good is about to happen!
I have two (maybe three) research conferences coming up, an internship to secure, 3 final papers to write, and LSAT studying to do but I'm thriving!
