Roco-can't even.

You made it to Friday, Hugemanatarians! In a week from today, you will officially be on break and ready to consume more turkey than any other day of the year. Oh blessed Thanksgiving. Friend to all carb lovers everywhere.

Basically our thoughts for the entirety of  next week. Props to Siddiqui for this gem.

Today in class we let you explore the differences between two popular art movements during the Revolution-Rococo and Neo-Classical. Our hope was for you to spot that Rococo art was popular amongst the aristocracy and nobility as a means of escape during the tumultuous Revolutionary period, while Neo-Classicism attracted Enlightenment radicals of the middle class. Rococo art is light, "painterly", pleasant, pretty. Neo-Classical art embodied much of the Greco-Roman ideals (hence the name). Neo-Classicism even made its way into America's architecture. Most of the architecture you would recognize as quintessential "American" buildings were coming out of Neo-Classicism, such as the U.S. Capitol and the White House (some kind of important buildings).

Speaking of escapism, I'm sure you need some mental breaks at the end of the week, so here are some links to distract you from productivity:

• Find an awesome side dish you can cook for your family over break. 
• Which celebrity is as tall as you?! Lady Gaga for me. 
• Laugh at this little girl's sassy letter to the toothfairy. 
• Watch this pug dancing to Hotline Bling.

Because this weather makes me want to hike and be outside, this photo of the day comes from the Wave, a famous landmass in the Vermilion Cliffs of Arizona and Utah. Spot the hiker in blue?

Have the BEST weekend friends! I hope it's wonderful.

-Virdin over and out.
