Finally finals are almost finally over.
Final week is coming. I am not stressed out about final week really. Compared to last week, it will be a breeze. They really should warn you about pre-final week too. It’s not fun, but at least it is over. I am so excited to be finished with the fall semester. This was my first full semester at Iowa Western and it was a complete success. It was a positive time for me really. I attended classes, did the homework and recieved all of the credits I signed up for. I am very happy. However, a few final tests still await. We’ll see how they go. I should be fine, but sometimes I think I am fine and I end up not being fine at all. In regards of test-taking, I mean.
With all of the homework I have been doing, I have been listening to a lot of music. I have comprised a playlist fo you to listen to if you want to hear some very good music. Click here to be linked to it. It includes some of my favorite bands, songs and also some good homework-doing music. Check it out.
I took a trip to the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, NE this morning. It is free before 11 AM on Saturdays. It’s a good deal, let me tell you. Until January 18th they are hosting an exhibit of Diego Rivera’s work. It includes Rivera’s work from the collection of the Museum of Art of the State of Veracruz. There are a lot of drawings and watercolors as well as some oil paintings he has done. It is very interesting. I reccommend it to anyone and everyone. There is something that is so neat and inspiring about looking at a work of art that the artist had once been physically creating. Kind of like a convergence of time and thought between you, the viewer, and the artist. I love the Joslyn. I am very grateful to have an art museum with such a beautiful and extensive collection right here at home. You should browse their website at http://www.joslyn.org. It includes any information you would like to know about their galleries, exhibitions (current and upcoming), events, and more. It’s worth taking a look at.
Diego Rivera, Segadores (Harvesters), 1956, dibujo al carbón y acuarela (charcoal and watercolor), Collection of The Governor of the State of Veracruz, the Veracruz Institute of Culture, and the Museum of Art of the State of Veracruz
Good luck with finals!
