For my Byzantine art history class, my professor puts up pictures of a fresco, mosaic, building, etc. and we are supposed to identify the building, year it was built (within +/- 10 years), location, and artist/architect if known; we then have to list everything about the work that we know (the more the better). That's 3-4 points you could potentially miss if you failed to do all that. We talk about a lot of frescoes/mosaics, and most of the time it's very difficult to find quality pictures of them on the interweb. Usually I do OK with finding images, but this time....no. I could not find hardly anything.
Conclusion: I basically guessed on three churches. It felt like I was poking around in the dark. He happened to put up images from three churches that I absolutely could not find. I usually don't feel prepared for his tests, but I tend to do pretty well on them anyway. This one was different though. I hate it when I don't know things, so I'm having to deduce and infer.
By the way...I guessed correctly. So relieved.
After I take this World Civilization final, I'll have three finals left which means halfway done. I have a German oral exam tomorrow that I am really nervous for. I suck at speaking German. I can read and write just fine, but speaking and listening comprehension? Ha. No. I had to sign up to take the exam at 8 AM. That kind of sucks/I hope I wake up. But it gets worse on Thursday; I have an exam at 7 AM. That's...just inappropriate. /I really really really hope I wake up.
