metonomiaI'm way behind in fandom stuff - NFE fics to comment on, vids to make, fic to write - but RL has been busy and awesome this week.
I've had one of every class now (and three of Latin), and I think everything's going to be good this quarter. Philosophy just really isn't my thing, I'm coming to understand, but that's okay - at least the prof seems cool. History will ROCK; this prof is supposedly quite strict and stressful, but I love him so far, and we're going to be doing cultural history this quarter - studying not the people/places/events but the cultures, the way values and ideals and such shift and drive those discreet events. Plus it's the Enlightenment and the French Revolution at the end of the quarter, and I looove those. PLUS, I already asked and got cleared to write about Jacques-Louis David for my research paper. Apparently art-analysis history and lit papers are a thing with me? I don't even know, but it'll be fun. I have to choose 4 or 5 of his paintings and analyse them wrt the themes we'll be discussing. Perfect for David, who moved away from rococo with his history paintings, and was a member of the Royal Academy, and all that jolly good cultural stuff. And he survived the Revolution, so he'll be good to examine as a continuity through the period. Soooo excited for that one. Then in Lit we spent the first class period acting out the first 54 lines of Hamlet :DDD It was ridiculous and hilarious and completely awesome. We're doing Hamlet, Henry IV Part I, and Twelfth Night, also Dr Faustus, Donne's poetry, Paradise Lost, and some of Milton's other poetry. BEST. EVER. Only 6/12 chapters of PL, though D: BUT STILL. akdhaohrioa guys I love literature SO FREAKING MUCH.
Latin's cool. I'm freaking out, but it's cool. I guess. I should be making vocab cards and practising present indicative active conjugation and memorizing principal parts of verbs, but you know. (THERE ARE 264 FORMS OF EVERY LATIN VERB. Only have to memorise four, though, apparently, and then a slew of rules will teach me how to do the rest. I might die.)
80's dance tomorrow night :D So tomorrow afternoon we'll probably go to the store, and then down to Pike for various stuff (including el mercado, woot!).
I want my new sheets.
TV! SUPERNATURAL TONIGHT OMG MIGHT FAINT.
Nikita is pretty darn awesome so far. I didn't expect to like it, maybe just because it took SPN's place? Maybe because the previews looked a tad lame. But it's great! Nikita herself is amazing, and I love Alex, and Jaden, and Thom, and Michael, and Birkhoff, and Amanda...everyone except Percy, yeah. Also as of 1.03, I want Jill to stick around! She was cool! But anyway, this show is awesome. It melds perfectly with SPN, too, because Division kids are totally like angels and also I think a lot of them might be vessels.
Oh, also! We watched the premiere of My Generation last night, and what a trip! oh man. It's perfect, it brings back so many memories, and I really like everyone so far. Want to see more of Caroline annnnd Rolly and Dawn. And what's his name, the 'rockstar.' So far he just holds everyone together, and I want to hear more about who he actually is. OH and I love Brenda!
