Busy week-weekend-week! Thursday and Friday was spent writing a European Studies paper, Saturday and Sunday were spent reading Descartes and writing a short art history paper, a long art history paper and a presentation about the long art history paper. Monday we went to the Science Museum and saw Galileo's lenses, telescopes and middle finger. They had an awesome model of the Ptolmeic universive--where the Earth is motionless at the center and all the planets and stars move around us. It was this huge wooden thing that turned all different directions. Pretty spiffy.
They also had all these 16th and 17th century medical instruments, and weird models of what can go wrong during labor. Scary. . .
Monday afternoon I finished up my art history paper and wrote my take-home essay for European studies. Today has been spent writing my take home essay for Western Civ and studying for the European studies exam. I'm sure everyone is excited to hear about all the work I've been doing. Needless to say I haven't had much time to enjoy the beautiful weather this week. But. . . after all my test tomorrow. . . Spring Break! Yea!!
Well, by spring break I mean, cleaning our apartment and packing. But at least no more papers, no more exams. And then. . .
Friday morning we leave for Spain!! Libby, Katie (a girl we've met on the trip) and I. Our current plan is Milan-Barcelona-Granada-Costa del Sol-Sevilla-Toledo-Madrid-Paris. Ambitious for ten days? Perhaps. Going to test my Spainish? Probably. Excited? Very.
Okay, I'll stop. Just pray for warm weather.
