Archaeology is nothing but a waste of paper.

Today was the worst! I haven't had one of those in a few weeks, so it was due. Everything feels so much better now. It's amazing how great everything can seem after you've just gotten through a dreadful week and had time to shut your eyes and just breathe.

Josh and I are having a homework party this weekend. Which is good, because I have so much to do. I really shouldn't be relaxing just quite yet, but I felt like I deserved it after today. Needless to say, this is the most I've been excited about doing homework since....ever.

I like the fact that Andrea and I can still have conversations and feel like we're updating each other on things that have happened over a months time, when really it's just an update on the events of the day.

I like life right now.

owie

I have this epic cut on the bottom of my tongue. This has never happened to me before. It is so painful. It's been here for like a week. And it won't go away. Ow =(

Popcorn tins are so addicting. I can't stop eating! Ahh!

I didn't put enough gesso on my canvas. So it's soaking up ALL OF MY PAINT. This painting is going to be one huge, epic FAIL. I know it. I might go work on it tonight. But then again, I might not.

It has to be done. Eventually.

I also wanted to clean my room tonight. So many things! Blahhh!

Just Because I Can

I got this dress for a dollar. A DOLLAR!

Today was our first painting critique. He barely had anything negative to say about mine. BARELY ANYTHING! Something about the way I did the pattern in the background was a little screwy, but THAT'S IT! In the words of Lady Gaga, I was "so happy I could die."

Quick World Lit update: Clytemnestra is my hero. I adore her. Also, Dido is a whiny, stupid, drama queen (funnily enough, she is literally a queen). She takes the meaning "obsessive girlfriend" to a whole new level.
Venus and Juno need to get over themselves. I don't even know what they're fighting about. They're just being dumb girls.

This archeology lab homework is totally dominating me. I think I'm going to give up for the night and just get on to reading Revelations. I might even draw in my sketchbook. Who knows!

Chim Chim Cher-ee always gave me the willys

I'm not sure why they call them butterflies. They don't feel anything like butterflies at all to me. Worms maybe. But like really really wriggly ones. Not the cute little earthworms that barely move. Maybe more like eels. That way you can throw in the occasional shock.

I finally finished Gilgamesh before class today. I would love to re-read it someday when I actually want to. I enjoyed it a lot.

Things to think about:
1) The popular quote, "All is fair in love and war."
2) Ishtar is the goddess of love and war
3) Aphrodite, the goddess of love, has an affair with Ares, the god of war

I really do think I am going to fall in love with this class. The readings will be tough, but I am so excited for the lectures.

Disney Pandora has completely made my night.

All is fair in love and war.

I don't need people reminding me of things.
