It's funny what can make one's day. For example, I have a midterm today on non-human primates, their subdivisions, their culture, behavior, anatomy, diet, and fossil dating techniques. I started studying around 5:30p.m. last night, and went to bed by 9 ( not recommended) . I woke up this morning and have been trying to study with little motivation, but alas, I continue to stare at my notes in hopes that my mind is telling the page to "say cheese" and is then encoding everything in the front part of my brain. Probably not. HOWEVER, despite my nervousness for the impending "below average" grade that I will no doubt receive, a simple comment sort of made things better. It was from this girl, Alessi. She is currently my inspiration and on constant replay in my car's stereo system. I met her at Laura Marling's concert and made a comment on one of her pictures, thanking her for being so amazing (that was the gist). I never really expected a reply back, but:
"you're most welcome for the drawing, it was lovely to meet you both"
Monkeys who? Yeah, yeah it wasn't any long paragraph about how she'd like me to jump on her next tour and open for her and the ark, but it made my day nonetheless. I look up to the girl, and so this test on primates seems a little less ominous for whatever reason. It just got a little brighter, because humble is as humble does and despite her immense amounts of talent, Alessi made time for the "little people" such as I, and so I guess I should go out of my way for the monkeys and apes too.
take a listen!
