Second Day of Classes

Good Evening

So I need to explain an assignment in order to explain my day. For my seminar we have random flash writing assignments and these are graded for completion but returned with insight on our writing. I got the assignment Tuesday and it is due tomorrow. It is a one page paper on a piece of art or collection of art from the Museum of London. So this morning, I woke up and went to the museum before class. The museum is incredible! it is essentially a timeline of all of British History from the Romans to Today. I only made it to the end of the Medieval Era, which in my opinion is sad and I am going to try to go again when I have more time. However the piece below is the one that I wrote about. It is a brooch from the medieval era. I may share the paper later but I may not... who knows? :)
After the museum I had... 
Ethnic Tapestry
This class meets Mondays and Wednesdays from 11:20-1:20.
Today we went over expectations and then went over the big themes of this course. It reminds me a lot of Facing History with Mama Have last year and I am so pumped to see the material through a different lens. 

Next I had lunch and printed a boat load of readings. Unfortunately there is no printer here at Chapter so everything has to be printed at IES

Next I had 
British art and architecture (aka Art History)
This class meets Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:40-4:40
I always though I would like Art History but I didn't realize how much I would love it. Today we barely did an overview of some art and artistic movements but I already knew so much and Lucinda said we were her first class that ever knew so much without taking an art history course- YAY US!!

I cam home with Katie, then did a bit of home work, worked out, and made dinner. 

Study Breaks
These are run by our peer advisor Jess, who is amazing. Today was our first real one but they will run every Wednesday for around an hour. Today we had a tea party and talked about community. 

Thats all for now, but before bed I have 2 more things to share. 
  1. Today Morgan (the dude) and I got paired together for the same activity twice. It was really funny because we both already knew what to say. oddly enough we can both wiggle our ears. 
  2. There will be NO post tomorrow because I am seeing a show and will not have time.

I lost the game! and other fun traditions

-
One day last week, or maybe it was the week before, was national wear your camp t-shirt day-of which no one (at school) that I know participated. However there is no need to fret because yours truly-super counselor extraordinaire remembered and wore her staff shirt from last summer. This combined with the Hillel retreat where we sang a lot of the end of session songs and an email encouraging us to apply for summer 2020, reminded me of all the little traditions from camp that I wish took place more in my daily life. For my camp friends reading this I hope it doesn't make you too nostalgic, and for everyone else maybe this a way to bring a little bit of fun to the office or maybe the holidays. The pineapple game When you are out with a group of people the first one to point to the pineapple and say I win. Wins. Yep- that's the whole game. I do highly recommend it for group shopping trips as it brings a sense of adventure to what can be a drab day at the mall. Invisible ...

Less Busy

Yesterday I got up and worked on some papers and then around 11 decided to make up my mind for the day. I had a kind bar and hit the road. I went to the Barbican, Postman's Park, and Postal museum The Barbican is a really unique building because it has plants overall the windows. The Postman's Park is much smaller than many parks that I have been to but that there are some titles that describe heroic events live saving children from a fire. Finally the Postal museum was incredible. I didn't think that I would enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Also at the museum, you can ride the mail rail, which is the old mail cart which would run under the city. Overall I had a great time and I was able to walk most of these so I saw many new parts of the city. Today I leave for Derby today to visit a camp friend. Don't expect any more posts until Sunday Morning. Have a Great Weekend!

Meal Prep and a Movie

-
This will be brief because I am going to watch a movie with some friends. Today I got up and read in bed for a bit. I then got up and worked out before going foodshopping. I got stuff for the week and also to make Nutella brownies with. They were pretty good, a little gooey but that didn't stop anyone. I then proofread a paper and did more research for AA overall it was a really chill day.
