I heart art...

Woke up at around 11 Monday morning, happy after my first satisfying night of sleep in awhile. Thank you, weather, for cooling down. I got dressed and such and then sat outside on the porch to get some sun and study. All of my notes for Teatro are complete, so all I had to do was print and look over them. Hence, I studied for art history. I read alllll about Romanesque art. Wooooohoo. No, no, not really woohoo. It was really sunny and warm out, then it progressively got cloudy and cool and I had to put a sweatshirt on. How strange. Then lunch was served at 2:30 which was shellfish paella; delicious, yet overwhelmingly filling. I eat so many less carbs here that an entire plateful of rice poses quite the challenge. On the side we had a really good salad: lettuce, tomoto, cucumber, corn, and queso fresco (a light, white, fragile cheese that kind of tastes like the curds in cottage cheese). For dessert we had fresh squeezed orange juice. After lunch I headed to the center for tutoria to find that it was cancelled, so I sat at the big table in the computer room and studied some more art history. I had forgotten to send myself my Teatro notes so I couldn't print them out and look over them. Oh well. Then at 6 I had Art History. How appropriate. We learned about Italian Renaissance painting and sculpture which was reeeeeeally interesting (that's not sarcasm). We learned all about Da Vinci, looked at "The Last Supper", "The Mona Lisa", etc. We then looked at Michaelangelo's painted walls of the Sistine Chapel, and then some Rafael. I never thought that I'd like Italian Renaissance art being the Avant-Garde afficionado that I am, but I really, really enjoyed it. After class I talked to the prof. to tell him that I couldn't attend the last day of class (this Wed.) because it conflicts with my Teatro exam. So we made plans to set up an exam date on Tuesday, and he told me that we'd finish up the course talking about Barroque art. Hehe, we never got close to finishing the syllabus. Then I walked home, ran into Melissa on the way and talked to her a bit, then arrived back home. I was not motivated to do anything. However, I studied some more art history, this time reading the chapter on Ancient Roman art, and talked to Maria del Mar and Maruja's granddaughter, Reyes, who came over to hang out a bit. Then Stacey came home, then Maruja came home, and we ate dinner: cooked veggies (potatoes, green beans, and onions), and chicken breast marinated in a delicious light garlic sauce. For dessert we had cherries and nisperas (they're actually nisperas, not nipteras like I've been calling them in the past). After dinner Stacey headed all the way to Nervion once again to study at the Business school...I ain't never going back there. I just studied more art history in the living room with Maria del Mar (she has a big exam on Friday) and watched "Mira quien baila" (my new favorite show). At around 11:30 I got ready for bed and retreated to my room where I turned on my computer and read over some of my Teatro notes the best I could on my computer. Hopefully that would help solidify it all. I dunno, I definitely know everything well enough to pass, I just need to study if I want the good grade. Nevertheless, none of my grades here factor into my GPA, but they show up on my transcript. So I'd just need to do well to impress grad school...which I don't really have to worry about. So I'm just worried about passing, really, hence why I'm not making a huge deal about my Teatro exam (it should be my easiest exam). Although, in true Lisa form, I am nervous. I hate testing. I hate finals. Blahhhhh. Yet I learned so much art history today...
Whatevs.
