Day 68: November 7, 2009, Saturday
Art History Symposium! This morning my roommate and I woke up early to attend a Art History Symposium put on by the Art History Club, which we are a part of. It was several hours long, with the keynote speaker being Amy Sowder, an assistant professor of Art History doing a presentation entitled, "Far from Fountains: Inscriptions on Broze Hydriai and the Importance of Water Jars in Ancient Greece." It dealt with the inscriptions on Hydriai, which are containers used to carry water throughout history in almost every civilization. It was very interesting as were the other presentations, though I had seen them all before on Thursday. There was a reception following the presentations, but my roommate and I did not stay because we went to go eat lunch. Later, we went to the mall with one of our friends and my roommate bought a jacket. Then, we went to Super Fresh to get snacks. I did not get any because I am trying to save money.
