A small possibility that I've been seeing too many movies lately is when I call my parents and my mom asks, "so what movie did you see tonight". Well, actually, I went to see 2 one-acts today, both translated by students. the Festivities and Picnic on a Battlefield. Picnic was really funny, and I didn't really get Festivities. Saturday night is also the night that the dining halls close and we are forced to eat out. But yeah, I think I've done all I could to not write my essay, so I might as well go write it now. Well, I do have a semi-outline. It's working out the main claim that's the hard part. Am I being too vague? "Although the Oriental Institute attempts to objectively show the history of only a fragment of Persian culture, its use of display strategies and narrative instead creates a complete image of a distanced and mystified civilization." Augh, you can already tell it's a bunch of BS.
