art > science.

in college i majored in art and history. these two subjects could not have been more perfect for me. they required me to write and they required me to spend an entire day in a studio creating things out of clay.

unfortunately, most of my friends were science majors.

this meant countless hours discussing the anatomy of a pig, what happens when you combine plutonium and aluminum, and.... actually who knows what they were talking about, i hadn't a clue. still don't. my eyes would glaze over and my brain shut down when they'd start talking. and i've had a science brain block ever since.

i took what is affectionately called "rocks for jocks." i barely made it out alive and lets just say it did not help my gpa any. i mean really, a two hour lecture on rocks? BEFORE LUNCH?! 

i recently visited my college campus and my former roomate dragged me in that horrible building since it wasn't so horrible for her and i had already dragged her through the ceramics studio. when i walked through the doors i felt the same gut instinct to RUN FOR MY LIFE. seriously, no good can come of a building full of dead animals, tons chemicals, and students learning to 'experiment.'

i guess the same can be said for my art building where i learned how to use a chop saw, mixed chemicals to make a glaze, and inhaled turpentine. but apples to oranges.

today, my sister and i were discussing time zones. i was booking a flight to puerto rico and we were trying to figure out why flying out of west palm would still take nearly four hours. i suggested maybe there was a time difference and found a nifty time converter on the interweb. well the stupid converter started talking about EDT and UTC and AST and my eyes glazed over and my brain shut down.

i quick sent the link to my science-y sister to figure out and she says "it is a stupid site. GMT is the time that everything is based on. remember earth science?" HA HA.

no, sister, i majored in writing papers and creating things.

and THANK GOD i did.
