OK, I totally feel like a ridiculous BPAL glutton, since I got three months' worth of orders this a week. (Part of it was that I was gone for a month, and then I guess they cleared up their backlog over the holidays. XD) But I'm now DROWNING IN BPAL...I have to do a crapton of reviews over the weekends so that I know which ones I like. (I'm highly amused by the fact that they sent Follow Me Boy as one of my frimps. XD)

Last night I had my first History of Western Letterforms class. It seems pretty cool - mostly focused on hands-on work, exploring doing calligraphy of various hands throughout the ages - but a little more work-intensive than I was expecting for an undergrad class. Now, admittedly, it's more fun to practice calligraphy than to read yet another scholarly article, but we're doing like three pages of calligraphy homework a week, and by page I mean "no margins chock full writing a crapload of stuff." And also, because we're trying to get things right, it's taking FOREVER - I spent most of class yesterday (about two hours) drawing basic Roman letters with pencil on graph paper and didn't even finish half a page, and we have to have three pages of it (plus another full alphabet) next week. You'd be surprised how hard it is to draw decent-looking versions of the letters we write EVERY SINGLE FRICKIN' DAY. D:

Oh, also, I finally found a used couch that's pretty nice and that they'd deliver (it's even a sleeper, and in a color I like) and so I should have it tomorrow morning. :D
