Midterms are over; such a lovely feeling after having the sense of impending doom looming over your shoulder for two weeks. I weirdly got 100% on my women's history exam...I haven't received a score like that since primary school. To celebrate, I went to downtown Baton Rouge in the evening to a music event. It wasn't really my type of music and the exhaustion from working until ridiculous o'clock these past few weeks meant I left early with Nikki. Public transport here is, shall we say, an experience. First, we waited 50 minutes in the rain for the bus to arrive, there was no clear bus stop so we just loited outside of a hotel and it gets dark really early here so I feared for my life at 7pm.
We were handed out free towels at the Florida football game. Everyone seemed to be wearing them on their heads so we joined in...
I have also come to the conclusion that there is something unnatural about still putting on suncream in October.
The work load continues however. I have 2 essays standing between me and Washington DC so I am very excited (also, with the government being open again means monuments & museums are also open!) - the next two weekends will be busy in order to achieve this goal, but I know Fall Break is going to be worth it!
Fall Fest!
I'm still buying random stuff I don't even need. Went shopping on the 20th of October and bought a dress for when I go to DC. It started out as something for me to try on to make Alice laugh and everyone on viewing actually liked it. It appears that not only can I pull off stupid hats, I can pull off interesting dresses. Showed mum and her reaction was my favourite; The dress is very sexy for you! What can I say mum, America has changed me and that is 50 Shades of okay.
On a final note, I have chosen my course choices for next semester; Science Fiction & American History, Tudor England, The First World War and Comic Books & Graphic Novels of the 1980s. I really wanted there to be a course on 19th century literature but alas, it was a graduate course - no Louisa May Alcott learning for me!
