First late night of the semester

It turns out that when I say 2 1/2 hours, I really mean 6-8. I started my outline by 10pm, all my notes in order and around. I finished at roughly 5:30--enough time to enjoy a two hour nap before trudging to school to print out the outline for my professors. It turns out opne of my professors is still en route, or possibly still interviewing in Chicago, so I managed to give my lecture without much interruption. Unfortunately, my ability to pronounce simple words was greatly diminished, let alone my ability to pronounce Greek or Latin. Tongue slips aside, everyone was fascinated by the Roman and Anglican vestments. Ginny, whose heard several versions of this lecture over the years, said she never learned as much as she did from my lecture. I guess I 'm the first practicing Roman Catholic to discuss Roman Catholic vestments. I even had a few baptism and first communion photos. I feel like I barely touched the tip of the ice berg in that two hours.

Makeup should go much smoother. I can relax slightly while the students apply the makeup, although this class is full of more comments and questions than previous classes have been. I have a really positive group this semester! The project is followed by the old age demo. I'm extremely comfortable with these age lectures already. And the deep eyebags from the little sleep I did manage will only enhance my demonstration all the more.

And I never posted a photo of my 18th century watteau dress from last semester. Soon I'll have one of my 19th century corset.
