Hey everyone!
So today got off to a much better start, with no headaches and a wonderfully gloomy day outside to greet me. It is just like the weather I like the most in Cincinnati and it happened to even more warmer today! The Tube was packed on my way to my first stop: the RSA. I have been subscribed to the Youtube channel for this place for years and I didn't even know it was a physical place. It is the place where thinkers from London and otherwise pay a large fee to be smart together. With that money, however, they make really cool animates like this one: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC7ANGMy0yo). Maybe someday I could make something like that for my math classes!
We enjoyed a three course meal at the RSA after a wonderful lecture by the executive direction Matthew Taylor, who is featured in the animate above. He gave me some really good advice in terms of finding the adults I should trust with my professional and future development, and he said: "Do not spend time with people who give you advice. Spend time with people you admire". I saw some beautiful samples of playing cards formed into the shape of fairy tales. It is an artistic tradition called transformation cards...which I haven't heard of before. I might have to get myself some someday!
Later in the day, after a quick nap, we went to the British Museum for real this time. We had a pretty good tour, though I am quickly growing tired of standing around having people talk at me. I guess I am not the best at sitting still. But afterwards, I hung around the museum for an hour or so on my own and looked at an exhibit on the artistic depictions of witchcraft through history. I then participated in an artistic activity of using a quill pen to illustrate a German fairy tale. My work is going to be hung up in the museum! Yay!
After my time alone, I got fish and chips at a pub. It might be my new obsession. I have been in the room for a couple of hours now working on math to get ready for Calculus I next semester. I am becoming increasingly excited about getting a more analytic background to supplement my business education. Got two of my grades back so far: an A and an A-. I am pretty upset because I thought I had a 4.0 this time around...stupid final exam...
Anyway, good night everyone, and I should send out another email soon!
