So, this is a new venture; a blog. I feel like I have to think of something clever or innovative to make this interesting but it's not coming to me right now. But first, introductions. I am going to the LDS Business College in SLC, UT right now and I love it. I'm black but have been adopted into an all white family since I was a baby. I love to read, listen to music, hang out with friends etc. Maybe this will help me keep up on my journals or something productive but I don't know.
So my day went a bit like this:
I woke up at the last minute before my 8:50 class because the girls and I (the girls being - Ayesha, Lulu, and Mia) went dancing last night until about 1. I woke up with a fatigue hangover and the mundane urge for a bagel and cream cheese which I've become accustomed to since I've been out here. I picked one up on my way to accounting. Accounting is an interesting class; I'm one of eight girls. It constantly smells of axe and old spice with an overwhelming air of testosterone that I am not used to so early in the morning. Next, I headed down to the computer lab and made progress in my art history project. The project is going along well all I have to do is match terms to certain works of art of my choice, hopefully it goes well.
I had lunch with a few of my friends in the cafe. We spoke of dreams, sleepwalkers, and Mexicans who laugh in their sleep. Then, I headed to art history where the conversation revolved around the Greek nudes artists and audiences alike have come to revered. It has been said that the Greeks had a longing to find the perfect human form and realized that it did not exist in the natural world, therefore they resorted to stone and the Golden Mean. The Greeks believed that their bodies were a temple and that by showing it in its purest form, they can portray their standards. Some think that these statues were pornographic images for the rich but it is exactly the opposite. These Greek nudes show that we should strive for perfection and nothing less.
I believe that I am a quiet perfectionist; I strive for it and frankly, I do get upset when I don't achieve it but I dare not portray that to others around me for it tends to come out in other ways. I work harder, I get anxious, and I lose touch with what is important. I really have to work on this aspect of my life.
After school, I took a nap, cleaned my room, and am currently in Ayesha and Mia's room with Lulu (who is my roommate) these are our Friday nights and I love it.
Maybe I can use this blog to be perfectly honest and blunt with myself, maybe that can be my innovative thing - we'll see.
