Ides Of March!

Argh today was a LLLLOOOOOONNNNNGGGG day. This morning was normal. I was so out of it that I don’t even remember my commute except that I got to the station, and then I was at school. I chatted again while I ate my cheerios. (I haven’t read in my Kindle in AGES! Im proud of me!) Before lecture I remembered to pick up my progress report from Glen and I filled it out before lecture. I needed to get it signed by Andrew so my loan knows that I am still enrolled in the course and I can get my money!

Class this morning was interesting. It was French academic painting which means we looked at soft-porn images of naked women. Not even kidding. That, sex, and violence. Gotta love art history right?? Paddi got done early (at 11:20 actually!) so we had a longer lunch before we had to go be tortured at 1pm… gah. I talked through lunch too and just read towards the end!

While it is fun to see what everyone is doing for their thesis, the discussion after peoples presentation gets too long. We were in class from 1-4:30. 3 and a half hours of listening to people tell us what they MAY do for their thesis. It was torture. I didn’t get home until 5:15. I made leftovers of gammon (it turned out! It tastes like very salty ham. I put mustard on it tonight to hide some of the saltiness!)

Basically nothing happened today. I went home without my coat on. That was nice! I was sad we spent the entire day in school on such a beautiful day! Im sorry I haven’t put in Evening Standard stories lately, but it has all been depressing. 6 soldiers (18, 19, and 20 years old) were killed their first week in Afghanistan, a girls head was found in the river and they are looking for her body, a bus crashed inside a tunnel killing 22 children, Syria is getting ripped to shreds, and boy was stabbed coming home from his aunts house. Its been fun reading the paper lately.

Tomorrow is a half day and IM FREE! My paper is non-existent which isn’t good. It’s not due until the 30th but I wont want to do it after I get back from Venice. I have absolutely no motivation whatsoever though. I need a month off!!

P.S The picture is Gerome’s The Death of Caesar which was the only picture I feel ok showing you guys that I saw in class and is appropriate for today!
