Artsy Emily

It does feel good to finally have a calm weekend. I've had time to sleep in my nice warm bed (they actually turned on the heat in our dorms this weekend), get some homework done (midterm tomorrow) and just hang out in the room. I do have a good amount of work to do this weekend, so it was helpful to be able to pace myself more than just having to get it done during the day on Friday and Saturday when I'm not sleeping. I'm still going to Assscat tonight, though. We'll see how many SNL people are there when there on a weekend where there isn't a live show.
I felt very fancy and cultured yesterday. I have a paper due pretty soon in my Cultural Foundations class and one of the topic choices is to go to the Met and review the Greek art exhibit. So, yesterday, I got all dressed up and took the 6 train up to east 77th to the very rich part of NYC. I definitely didn't feel like I fit in on the Upper East Side, but it was fun to pretend I did. The Met is so overwhelming, and so busy. Luckily, the Greek exhibit is right at the entrance, and I could get the info I needed and then leave -- I started to not feel well, I think it's the temperature changes of being outside in the windy cold and then going into a stuffy and hot museum. I am looking forward to going back, though, maybe when I have more time and energy to really look around. I only pay $1. The admission price is supposed to be $10 for students, but if you look closely, it says "suggested donation". So I give $1. I figure they have rich old people who donate to the musuem, and so many people don't think it's a suggested admission price, so I don't feel bad at all paying $1.
I'm really excited for my first improv show with Dangerbox on Friday. I really like the group. They are cool. They also apparently now read this blog.
I should probably start studying for that midterm. Or go to Gap. We'll see.
