<p>Went to the Day of the Dead ceremony last night at the Cemetery. Very very interesting and moving. I wish I understood more about what the old woman was chanting, though, because she spoke for 25 mins, i think, and there were young people dancing all around her. Plus all this incense burning, and people playing instruments. I had to leave before the offering part, but I think I stayed through the whole lifecycle ceremony (if I'm interpreting it right.) </p>

<p>Then I went to my sis' for supper. Maddie was clinging to my sister, not giving me a hug. I brought the nie-phews each a little crafty thing (a little wooden cut out for Thanksgiving to color), and when I gave it to Maddie, she said, "I want to give you a hug now." <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/roll_eyes.gif" title=""></p>

<p>This whole, make-my-own-latte in the morning thing is awesome. I've perfected them AND I'm saving $4 (at least) a day! And frankly, it takes me less time to make it at home than it does for me to get one here at work.</p>

<p>I'm sorry you're not sleeping well, Lori! <img alt="sad.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//sad.gif"></p>

<p>QOD: I really enjoyed Marine Geology, which included a field trip to the dune in P-Town. Also, I took two classes with the same prof, "Folk Song" and "Folk Dance", and in both cases, we had to learn and perform a piece. In Folk Dance, in fact, we had to dance, as a class, at Marsh Plaza and by BU Beach, dressed and performing as morris dancers, bells, hats, rags, the whole works. I also loved my Comparative Medieval Studies colloquium (one of the research colloquia I took for my major--medieval history). I think I loved that class because, unlike most of my classes, it was a small seminar course, in a conference room in the history department, which was an old brownstone on campus (still is. <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif"> ). Prof was awesome, class was all about independent study, which was a lot of fun for me. I really enjoyed it. It was the closest I came to writing a thesis.</p>

<p>I also loved Vernacular Architecture, and my Honors Macroecon class...weird, I know.</p>
