In Rome for a month!

Hopefully some good pictures will come out of it. :)

Traveling is awesome. So is exploring the abandoned/haunted/just plain weird. You know what else is awesome? Taking photos! Combining these makes for an explosion of cool.

Putting up some old photos from Europe now. They're pictures I didn't think were good enough to put up, but I realize now that I think they're worth something. Hopefully you'll like them. :D

I'm back! It was a looong couple of months, but I have a lot of photos to work with. I can see a progression in the work I'm doing, even between now and a few months ago, which I'm happy about. :D

I'm subsisting on waffles and croissants and biding my time until I get my car next week.

Looks like I'll be alone for Halloween. Its my favorite holiday, which is really a bummer. :-/

Anyway, working on getting some new pics up. It keeps me from going completely insane, sitting all day in my house.

In the Alps...really tired of traveling. I'm tired of living with other people who don't respect my needs. I can't wait to get home for Halloween and chill out...before getting my wisdom teeth out. :( Blah, a couple months is too long for me to live without privacy and comfort.

Silver lining: I'm going to have a bunch of fabulous pictures to play around with when I finally get back to the states.

I'm scheduled to be in Europe from August to October 2008, so more interesting abroad stuff should be popping up throughout that time.

If anybody would like to meet up, let me know!

Sooo...I'm a little obsessed with Arthurian legend right now.

I recently wrote a paper about how Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur compares and contrasts with the musical Camelot. My thesis (in very basic terms) was this: "Society's values have fluctuated between the 1400s and today, changing the morals which we instill in our heroes. "

Agree/disagree?

Studying in Oxford is certainly an experience. People seem to really know what they're talking about here. That seems like an obvious thing to say, but I see a real difference between my professors at Rhodes as well as tutors I had at Sewanee and in Durham.

This experience is also making me question whether I want to stick with the classical route or not. Looking at a bunch of very plain, old churches gets boring REALLY FAST. Plus they're cold. Even in August. Yet I'm truly interested in some of the art we've been studying, and certainly the literature from the Middle Ages. What's a girl to do?
