Well my morning was back to normal… hating my alarm and staying in bed too long! The tube was oh so nice to me this morning though! I didn’t have to wait for a train at all. I would step on the platform and BAM one would come. It was like the train schedule revolved around me…. I liked it!
Before class I finished my Bill Bryson book so I decided to change it up. All I have heard about is the Hunger Games so I decided to see what all the hype was about. I read a chapter and I was HOOKED. I haven’t been this obsessed since Harry Potter came out. I love it so far and would recommend it!
Class was eh… It was Rococo silver and frankly Im getting tired of silver. I cant remember all of the technical terms and I can never tell how its made by looking at it. The only think I like about it is that it is shiny and worth a lot of money. The 18th century stuff is getting better because they are casting their pieces, which makes them thicker. But still… getting old.
During lunch I stuck my nose in my book (actually my Kindle which I will be happy to sell btw after my time in London is over. I like real books.) Then it was time for our intro to this terms Culture and Ideology. If you recall I chose to be a feminist and look at the representation of women in art and women artists. He randomly assigned topics for us to do our presentations on… he must love me. I really almost hugged him. I have governesses and seamstresses. EASY! So happy!
We got our info for our trip to Lame Old Paris. Nope not being sarcastic. I don’t like Paris. If you want “romance” go to Rome. Paris is just a city with snobby people running around. The food is good though… but otherwise not pumped. Anyways… we go May 22nd-25th. Alex if you are reading this Im going to send you an email because I think you are flying in the 21st….. Sorry about that.
Well Im off to skype my sister and then head to bed EARLY. Im meeting Freya at 6:55 to attempt to get tickets to see Leonardo Da Vinci (who I don’t like). I feel like I should see it though. Its the first time his two Madonna of the Rocks are side by side because the French FINALLY lent it out. So Im getting up at 5:45am to stand in line for 3 hours to hopefully get a ticket. I didn’t think it was going to sell out so I didn’t buy a ticket months ago. Should have because now I have to put in a lot of effort to get one of the 500 tickets that they hold back each day. The things I do to see art. Ill tell you all about it tomorrow!
P.S the picture is a sliver teapot on a heating thing a mig jig, I want one...
You'll have to let me know more about these new books that you're reading. I never thought that you would be much of a kindle person. But I can see the convenience!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you got a great topic for your presentation. You'll have a lot of fun with that.
Oh and I'm glad that you did get your tickets. Can't wait to hear about it!
