This week has been exhausting (ok, it's not over, but the overwhelming stuff is...this weekend is busy-ish, but mostly fun). The quiz on Wednesday was fine. I was really tired the rest of the day (after being at the dance studio far too long on Tuesday night), and not really making much sense later on, so the only thing I'm worried about is the ( Read more... )

This week is insane. Seriously. Last night was the Studio 60 premier, which was wonderful. I love Aaron Sorkin so much! Today, I had a quiz in my India class (which seemed really easy, but was very, um, ambiguous. Like, his spoken English is completely comprehensible, but the mistakes in his writing made it unclear what he was asking ( Read more... )

I just had a mind-blowing archaeology class. I don't think that I'm a naive person, so I'm quite disturbed that I hadn't thought of this before. Here's the background: I'm taking a class called "Incas and their ancestors" even though I have no interest whatsoever in archaeology (it counts toward my anthropology minor and was at a good time).

I have so much reading to do for Friday, but no classes tomorrow. I shouldn't put it all off until tomorrow (especially since pv2010 has decided that we're watching Gangster...though we might have to figure out a way to watch it without subtitles...yea. Me and technology don't get along.), but I really don't want to do it. I'm very tired for some ( Read more... )

Today was my first day of a class that immediately pertains to what I want to do with my life: Perspectives in Cultural Anthropology. It was very exciting! The professor seems pretty fun, and seems to have a similar way of looking at the world to mine. That's important since, as we went through a really quick overview of the history of ( Read more... )

I just had my first class of the semester. It's an anthropology class (actually an archaeology class, but whatever), so not only is anansi120 in the class, but so are a bunch of people from my anthropology classes last semester. Yay ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my last Spanish class, and today was my last dance class. Everything's coming to an end again. After class last night, crazykawaii and I joined everyone for dinner at a Japanese restaurant near here. It was so much fun. They're all fantastic people, and it was one of my favorite things I did while I was here. During class yesterday, my ( Read more... )

Arrg! Can we please just get past some very simplistic ideas about feminism? Like, I feel like it's been long enough that feminism should no longer equal hating men. Maybe that's just me ( Read more... )

I had a (very short) conversation with one of my roommates (the girlfriend...who apparently does live here full time and officially)! About flamenco! She's the one who was playing the flamenco the other day. Today, I got up the nerve to ask her who the singer was. It was Nina Pastori. Who is excellent. Now she's listening to Ojos de Brujo, ( Read more... )

Dance ended up getting much better by the end of the week, though everything about it still intimidates me. A couple of the other students are very nice and have tried to talk to me, and have been patient enough, I suppose. The only other American in the class is a native Spanish speaker and hasn't said anything to me after translating to me the ( Read more... )
