Since I have a French test tomorrow, I'll keep this brief.
Today I was looking for books on Gericault's Portraits of the Insane when Eugene, the head librarian, came in and we got to talking about politics of all things. I learned that in the most recent election there was such a high voter turn out that people were queued up for hours and when it hit 10 o'clock in many places all the people waiting outside were locked out and lost their chance to vote. Other places ran out of ballots long before 10. Basically, it was a huge mess. The party that got in was by minority so they were really afraid the people would raise a stink about it so they paid them off. And they are now selling the national forests. It was a very informative discussion.
I've also had interesting discussions with my Psychology, Art History, and English professors lately!
I started music lessons too. Diana is a really wonderful teacher and I'm excited to be learning alongside Lina. After muscle and breathing exercises we did some scales (one was with semitones - OMG that's hard!) We were also practising agility using our diaphragms and Lina and I were starting to sound like that girl from the grudge when Diana instructed use to loosen our jaws and suddenly super impressive sounds were coming out of our mouths - It was Awesome!
I have to study for French though :( I MISS EVERYONE! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
Oh, and last week I realized that for the first time in my life I was missing my sister's birthday... which was basically devastating.
On that cheery note, I'm off to work!

I know. I was sad too. Yay for intelligent discussions! The other day one of Rick's friends was over here and we discussed whether Juston Bieber was going to be replaced by Cody Simpson or not. Yup. That's the kind of talk I get into when you're not around to metaphysical things up for me!
ReplyDeleteI miss you.
