Chapter four is not writing itself

I brought a banana so I'd have a reason to leave.

What goes where

  1. Tech and cables Tech
    Laptop covered in stickers, charger, cable frayed, earbuds case, phone on silent
  2. Face, hair and hands Beauty
    Hair claw, hand cream
  3. Comfort, weather and first aid Health
    Ibuprofen blister pack
  4. Food and drink Snacks
    Energy drink can, a banana, reusable cup with a stained lid
  5. Cards, keys and paper Docs
    Three highlighters, one dry, library card, notebook with tabs, a paperback nothing to do with the thesis, USB stick on a lanyard

Also in the bag: sticky notes, pastel, a hoodie stuffed in, printed article, annotated.

The tip

Charge the power bank, not the plans. A frayed cable is the reason most library afternoons end early.
