A Day In The Life

painterlyone:

I’ve seen these for a ton of other situations, but never one for history of art, so I thought I’d start one myself. :)

1. You go to art museums for fun.

2. Your the only person who’s skin crawls when you see a Thomas Kinkade painting. Your skin crawls even more when your friends say “his art is so amazing!”

3. When you mention Leonardo DaVinci, your non-art history friends say, “oh the DaVinci code?!” and you just sigh and walk away.

4. You look at nudes as a part of your degree, unlike your male housemates.

5. You know the meaning of words like ‘chiarascuro’, ‘trompe de l’oeil, and ‘sfumato’.

6. You know the difference between performance art and a crazy homeless person.

7. You’ve got an opinion on Damien Hirst and you are prepared at any moment to launch into a 20 minute debate about it.

8. You plan most of your holidays around what art museums the place has got.

9. You don’t actually have that many artists for friends.

10. To make up for it, you have made up friendships with a ton of Dead, White, European Males.

11. You’ve used the word ‘painterly’ to mean about ten thousand different things.

12. You know you’re an old history of art student when you remember being taught with the aid of a slide machine.

13. Well if “that’s so easy, I could have done it” WHY DIDN’T YOU?

14. Peggy Guggenheim, Alfred H Barr, Leo Castelli, and Charles Satchi are personal heroes.

15. You’ve become a pro at memorizing birth and death dates. And it’s starting to creep your non-art history friends out.

Is tomorrow!

I can’t believe it! Time goes by so quickly, it’s crazy!

I’m excited, because I know it will be fun. And I’m excited to have Adam come and visit me! Haven’t seen him in a long time and it’s always fun having visitors to show around my school and home.

But at the same time…I get nervous about all of these dances. I haven’t been freaking out as much as usual this time. It’s actually quite nice. I’ve had my dress for half a year now…my date 2 weeks in advance. He made the meal easy. I didn’t have to stress about asking him in a special way or anything.

So now it’s the day before…and I’m a little nervous. I’m bringing my friend that doesn’t know anyone…and I know he’s social, but I’m still nervous. I want him to have fun as well as me! I want to drink a bit…enough to be fun..but not too much. I need to find out where we are going to pregame…since I don’t know right now. I need to buy us alc…I don’t know what to get us. And overall I don’t want things to be awkward because we are just friends. I want both of us to have fun. That’s what’s the most important :)

Anyways! I need to finish all my homework so I’ll be able to go! Ahhhg. Week 8, why are you so busy?!?!

Bay to Breakers 2012!!!

This picture kind of sums up my day! It was this past Sunday, May 20th. So crazy! I felt like I was a freshman again, experiencing something crazy for the first time again. It was nice :)

Great beautiful day in San Francisco. Lots of laughs. So many crazy people to see! It was definitely a day to remember…or not to remember in some people’s case…haha!

I mean really, when else do you wake up at 3am…drink at 4am…deal with the biggest crowd of SCU students at the Caltrain station at 5am….craziest train ride with more drinking and craziness than you can imagine till 7am….start the “race” by 8am…finish all 7.6 miles of it by 11am….take the longest MUNI ride to the train station…get off the MUNI with 5 minutes till the Caltrain leaves….all of SCU is RUNNING onto the train to barely make it…EVERYONE napped on the train….and we all made it back to school by 3pm.

When else does all of that happen before 3pm?!?! Absolute craziness! But it was awesome and so much fun! I’m so happy that I was able to share my day with some awesome people!! Especially my Big, Kathleen for taking me along with her friends! So much love for our whole group!! [Kathleen, GrrPaige, Alec, Kylie, Michael, Keele, and me] :)

Favorite quotes:

“I INVENTED the train!!”

“She’s not that drunk!!”

“No puddle is a good puddle!”

“What kind of accent do you have?….Ummm..I’m congested?”

“Hello there cat woman”- policeman

“You must slap the bag, or the bag will slap you!” [British Accent]
