Good and (sort of) Bad
Jan. 28th, 2016 07:26 pmGood Stuff
Amongst the copious amounts of reading I have to do for my Medieval Literature and Gender class, there are some really interesting readings that I am enjoying a lot. I read a chapter about how in the late Middle Ages, people understood Christ as simultaneously both male and female. Like, he has a male body, but because the body/flesh was associated with the female and his blood had life-giving properties (they thought that milk from lactation was also a form of blood), his body is also female. Blew my mind. Now I'm reading about Medieval ideas of how human reproduction works.
I wanted some nutritious snacks that satisfy my sweet tooth, so I bought some apples and bananas to make apple and banana chips in the oven. The apple ones are almost done; they're just cooling in the oven. Banana ones will be made this weekend some time. I also bought some stuff to have a roast chicken dinner tomorrow (chicken, turnips, and cauliflower) and to make chicken tortilla soup out of the leftover chicken.
Doing better spending time with other school people outside of school. There is a pub-like place that is a converted house on campus that people like to frequent. Went there after a lecture with people, went there for a trivia night last week, and possibly going there tomorrow after another guest speaker.
Sort of Bad Stuff
I may be getting a cold. I'm having trouble sleeping lately, like waking up around 5 am and again at 8 am, when I don't really need to get up until 9:30. And this has been going on pretty much all week. It makes me feel run down and I'm all sniffles and sneezes lately. So I might not be up for going out tomorrow.
No time for sewing because of all the reading for school! Plus no energy because see above^. However, occasional knitting is still occurring. Going to get to the stripes soon.
Overall, much more good stuff than bad. Nothing very exciting, but still trucking.
