Here, have something cool: Ultraviolet light reveals lost details in Giotto's artwork

I feel a lot better today than I did yesterday. Many thanks to everyone who said things to me. Think I needed that.

Had a presentation for medieval this morning. Getting ready for it involved lots... and lots... of flailing. And I ended up printing off five copies of my version of the notes, rather than the prettied-up handout version, ughhh. But even with that, and the fact that I slipped and fell twice on the icy sidewalk on the way to the bus stop, things were mostly okay. The presentation went well. Gods know I can tl;dr about Malory and Vinaver for a long, long time.

Came home. Powernapped. Spent the rest of the day feeling sick from staying up all night, haa, but it's fine. Oh the things I put myself through. I did do some French today so it's not a whole loss. Though I haven't been practising it as much as I should, I'm still having fun with it. At this point most of it is still review... we'll see how it goes when I start learning new things. Might be a while. I've forgotten so much. I do hope I'll stick with this - finish the workbook at least, get my money's worth from it (though now that I think on it, I didn't pay for it. Yay, gift cards). After that... ehhh we'll see if I continue with it, or try a different language. Spanish? Or maybe go back to the ~rebellious teenage years~ when I tried to teach myself German? Who knows.

I'm still bummed about various things, even if my mood is lifted a bit. My left hand hurts from fingertip to mid-forearm. Fucking. Well, I guess I'll just have to go easy on it for the next few days. I'll probably be like, almost completely incapable of doing much after I get my teeth out anyway. :| I'm probably going to spend a ton of time reading and watching movies. We'll see.

SIGH

That's really cool about Giotto's artworks! I've always liked his stuff, him and other artists who use the chiaroscuro method.

Hope you feel better!~
And learning languages is always cool, woot. :3 I found Spanish easy to pick up, although we were taught Spain-Spanish as opposed to Mexico-Spanish (which makes no sense because I live in Arizona, and we're right. above. Mexico :| ).

Yes, totally! I know there's always a bunch of controversy surrounding the restoration of different art, buuuut I still think it's important for people to be able to fully experience the art as it originally looked.

Oh yeah, same here. I am so glad one of my roommates is Hispanic; it gives me some opportunity to practice so I don't forget everything I learned in highschool. And about types--I guess it is kinda hard to teach languages in school when there's so many different dialects.

Giotto! Wasn't he pre-renaissance? : o

Relax this week! It will do you good! But do take some walks as well.
