history and today

yesterday was a fairly history-oriented day. after my post, i proceeded to watch a movie on BET about the Little Rock Eight...aka the eight african american teenagers that were allowed to attend little rock central high in arkansas at the peak of racial segregation in our country. it was brutal the way they were treated, and the wrong-doers got away with it all. it was really sad how threatened they were...

after that i watched the anne frank movie. of course, i cried at the end. then switching through the channels once the movie was over, i came across shindler's list, and i was like "oh heck no." that movie is absurdly graphic and sad.

well, i woke up today thinking it would stink cause it's a monday, but it really wasn't all that bad. figure drawing is going better because our teacher isn't really looming as much over our work, and we have more freedom. once figure drawing was over, i went to the ceramics studio to grind down one of my mugs that had a hardened drip of glaze. then hailey and i had lunch.

art history, dinner, then history, then i watched dancing with the stars. now i'm talking to jon online. that's about all for now. the nice weather helps keep my spirits up!
