A Lonely Post

February 8, 2011 at 10:56 am

I apologize for the belated post. It’s midterm; as per usual, life has become a bit hectic.


Aside from writing, studying, writing and studying, I’ve honestly done very little. I watched a movie once. There was a Super Bowl viewing party; I attended that for five minutes. There was a ‘ball’; it was swank.


I’m currently sitting inside of Goodbye Blue Mondays, listening to 60s pop. I’m supposed to be reviewing my Intro. to Anthropology notes; however, I’ve been staring at my nearly illegible handwriting for an hour—I think I deserve a small break, so here are some pictures:

Last Friday, my floor-mates decided  to carve an ice sculpture.

When I asked what they were doing, they answered "making a dragon".

Being the cynic that I am, I answered "yeah right".

But they didn't let pessimism obstruct their vision; no, these boys had a dream, and they intended on fulfilling it.

So they carved.

Ice-block

 

And carved.

 

Ice-block 2

 

Until this was more or less the final result.

 

ICE DRAGON

 

If I could take incredulity back, I wouldn't. I still can't believe they managed to make one, but, then again, I have little artistic skill and even worse spatial reasoning, so the only feasible creation from a block of ice I can envision is a smaller chunk of ice.

 

Back to studying.
