Friday, October 29, 2010 Day 64
You know those days when you start off the morning feeling great, cheerful, optimistic and ready for life… and then by the end of the day you’re so miserable you wish you’d never climbed out of your warm bed in the morning? Well, I’m happy to announce that today was the complete opposite.
Unfortunately, that does mean that my morning was hellishly nightmarish (3 hours of sleep coupled with a scanty breakfast and the remnants of a sickness doesn’t make for the best mornings, regardless of how damn cheerful you are) but the day vastly improved.
Firstly, I finally turned in the Old Man and the Sea paper that’s been plaguing the students, and then got the art history quiz out of the way. Sadly, Pscans kinda ruined my day, but it perked up because it’s a Friday. Who doesn’t love Fridays?
Yesterday, Thursday, in celebration (or at least recognition) of Halloween, we watched the Shining, which I’d only ever seen parodies of. Perhaps it was my memory, the earliness of the hour of the fact that we saw the film in our salone, but I just couldn’t get scared. There was always something to laugh at, a plot to pick apart and characters and makeup and costume to mock.
At least we have some kind of spirit,
Bacini, Thalia
PS. Italian boy called me “beauty, beautiful!” on the way back from the Shining. Woohoo self esteem. I love Italy….
