Hello Blog, As expected, I made it through the weekend! I cannot say I had the most exciting past few days because I was taking the exams I mentioned previously, but it’s all about balance. I spent most of spring break out and about, so it makes sense that I had a weekend with a bit heavier of a workload…

Let’s Hear it for New York
On Sunday, I went on a day field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or the Met, in New York City! This was for my Islamic art history class and so much fun. My day began VERY early at 5:00 am. We took a school bus to the city (not the yellow school bus you’re thinking of), so we…
A Weekend in Boston
One thing about me is that while I love exploring, I easily get caught up in work and don’t go into Boston as often as you might think. From time to time though, I am hit with the need to go out there and just walk around the city. That is exactly what I did this past weekend. Boston in…

Although I am not an Art History major, I love art. I have always wanted to formally study it, but never really found the time. I am very glad that I…

Sculpture and Sunshine

It’s already 8:30pm as I write this, and the sun has yet to completely disappear below the horizon. Today felt like full on summer. I brought my book out into the sun on the front porch…
Davis Days
Here’s this week’s playlist: http://8tracks.com/alstroemeria/reading I got to visit the Davis Museum twice this week. The Davis Museum is an art museum right here on campus, and is open to anyone. Their current exhibits range from Monet to Mesoamerican vases; even if you aren’t an art person, if you have the chance to visit I promise you’ll find at least…
Home Sweet Home
Hello everyone! I’m sitting down to write to you from my desk at home with a glass of eggnog! Its so strange to be home and just relaxing. My last two visits were hectic. I was trying to run around and see lots of people and get homework done. Now… I HAVE NO HOMEWORK. Whaaaat? It feels good. Real good.…
