Because 12 Grimmauld Place is calling me...

Minor change in plans haha. I'll be going back to BC next semester. There were no major events really that affected this decision, mainly just that I feel oddly stagnant as far as academic progress goes. It's kind of hard not to love living in a city that is sunny virtually everyday, but I really should be taking advantage of BC. I think I miss the stress in some twisted way. The unproductivity is getting to me. I can putz around after college, in the summers, whenever. Additionally, I'm tired of our one printer at API being broken and the university library being closed due to student protests...being a fake student in general (paper ID cards, really?) Most important, 12 Gerald (Grimmauld) is calling my name, and you just don't mess with the Order of the Phoenix. 

Other events: 
I just finished my group presentation on Medicine in the Renaissance. My section was on the philosophers (yeah yeah you can laugh)...I'm just hoping I didn't sound like a total imbecile, or imbeSULLin (Brian Regan anyone? No? Okay, moving on.) 

Tomorrow Joanna "Vlada" Pasheluk and myself will be presenting our Semantics project...so hopefully no one in my class reads this tonight otherwise the surprise will be spoiled (Does anyone even read this?). 

I missed my art history class this morning to finish our power point presentation. Apparently the professor read our midterm exams aloud, and I received an 8/10. I'll take it. This was our exam, which was written on the board last week:
1. Retablo
2. Cupula
3. Montañés 
As you can see, the expectations were clear. 

Thursday I am going to Italy to meet the Arndt gals! I'm flying into Pisa, maybe stopping to see the leaning tower (before it falls over, right dad?), bus-ing to Florence, where we will be for two days, followed by two days in Rome. 

Done rambling,
Maddy

I can't believe you're coming back!!!

Not that it means I'll see you, though. But I'm happy for you if you're happy.

Miss you! Happy Thanksgiving.
