Modern art is weird

Today we were assigned to visit the Tate Modern museum.  I wasn't planning on going here at all because I was told it wasn't worth it if you don't like modern art.  Well I don't like most modern art so I definitely was not excited to go but it was mandatory.  We had to get the audio guide and I started looking through the different pieces of art that were on it and I found some that I recognized from my American Humanities class last semester.  I still don't like modern art and there were some pieces that were just plain disturbing but it was cool to know a little bit about the artists from last semester.  The one painting I really wanted to see was Summer by Jackson Pollock.  To my disappointment that part of the museum was closed for some reason.  I was surprisingly pretty upset about it.  Not because I didn't get to view 7 more rooms of strange artwork (I would pass on that any day) but because I wanted to see one up close, plus last semester some girls and I "recreated" a Pollock for our final project in Am. Hum. (if you want to watch it click here).

This mirror is art?!

After my disturbing day at the Tate we got home to a lovely surprise on our beds.  One of the boys here bought every girl a rose, which made a lot of girls' day.  Some girls wanted to go see The Vow so I had two options: go out or stay home and do homework.  I took Rachel's advice to never miss an opportunity to do something fun, so I went out.  I wondered how it would be with 34 emotional single girls watching a chick flick on Valentines Day.  Luckily it wasn't too bad and there were surprisingly a lot of males in the theater, albeit most of them were undoubtedly dragged to it by their girlfriends and wives.  Overall it wasn't too bad of a holiday, and I am to see (or not see) fewer couples out in public tomorrow.
