Before the quiz over the last two days, we spent some time reviewing and also discussing. Tuesday was filled with lots of rich discussion for the most part (and some terrifying arguing in 4th period). Tomorrow we will wrap up our study of Post Classical East Asia with some POETRY. A little Tu Fu and Li Po coming your way. Don't forget to grab a copy of Life of Pi for Monday as well.
This weekend is your last weekend to get in your Humanities Experiences. If you're a procrastinator, here are some last minute events going on this weekend (in between seeing Beauty and the Beast):
- Til Midnight at the Nasher is starting back up on Friday! Check out the sculpture at the Nasher (which is the actual Humanities Experience) and then stay for an outdoor movie and concert in the back of the museum.
- Also on Friday next door is the DMA's Late Night event (which does actually cost money). You have to actually look at the art for the extra credit component, but there are a bunch of extra activities going on as well. This week's theme is Medieval, so check out their Art and Nature in the Middle Ages exhibit and then pop over to hear a talk about how J.K. Rowling used Medieval mythological beasts to write Fantastic Beasts.
- Looking for something nearer to home? Frisco is showcasing the opera Madame Butterfly at the Star. Check this out for more info.
Today's SXSW performer is truly near and dear to my heart. David Ramirez is a Austinite, a songwriter that used to come play at little tiny venues in College Station when I was going to A&M. His shows are the kind where you could hear a pin drop because everyone is entranced. It's definitely not the most beat-bumping mix, but if you are needing something relaxing and/or melancholy, here's my personal favorite, "Shoeboxes".
