Portico, pediment, acroteria, cornice frieze

Huh?

I have no idea....dentils, egg and dart, festoon, guilloche, quoins, rustication, tracery, tympanum, entasis.

HUH?

These are my architectural terms we received on saturday. Well, some of them.

Really the thing that stands out the most from Saturdays class was learning that we DO NOT WALK ON CEMENT. That cement is a part of concrete. Wow huh?

I'm so sleepy today, I'm not sure why, I still think it's because I've lost my Saturdays and that now Mondays feel like Sundays should.

What else what else...I learned that my Chicago timeline is not quite up to par and that I believe everything that ever happened should be put between the 1870's and the 1890's. I learned that I can grasp ideas but have a hard time speaking them, which some would say means I haven't quite learned them, which is probably right.

I learned that boys don't hate walking around in snowstorms as much as girls do.

I learned that The Village...blows.

I learned that John thinks it's incredibly awesome that I know what "rebar" is.

And I learned that lil Nemo fish look quite pretty in an aquarium.

I still can't quite bear to get full on into my homework today, while at the same time trying to write what is apparently a 500 word, 2 page document about the differences between Louis Sullivan and Daniel Burnham.

But the thing I'm confused about is, 500 WORDS is ALMOST one page. Not even close to two. So...do I follow the two page direction or the 500 WORD direction? Do you think this is one of my tests?

Bachelorette tonight, watch the car wreck.
