Facepalm.

I read the following sentence during World History today:

"Female children normally did not receive an education, and in times of scarcity when food was in short supply, daughters might even be put to death." (Dukier & Splievogel)

First thought: "They were eating their daughters?!?"

On second thought: "...Oh, they killed them so they had fewer mouths to feed. I get it. Meanies."

So...basically, for two seconds, I thought people in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were cannibals.

Gahhhh

I look at things things now and all I can think is: "Oh, look, a Doric column. Oh, look a pendentive dome. Oh, look, Roman influence! Oh, hey--that's some Neoclassicism! Oh, there's some Rococo. Oh, hold up, got some Baroque there. Oh, why do all of these thoughts begin with 'oh'?"

And then people-*coughNeha/Michellecough*-have to remind me that I have AP tests in less than two months?!

Thanks.

But seriously.

Also, I've been...slackerish lately.

Oh, gosh it's frustrating.

I'm too influenced by outside sources. I will not succomb!

Also, according to Eshwar, I'm Shakespeare. ??? OK.
