A very "interesting" history class

In our history class today, we discussed the relationship between man and women, the reason for the dominance of man, and why women are pressured to do many things in order to look beautiful. The example Mr. Cassity gave was the hobbled, bound feet customary among China's wealthy women from the Song dynasty to 1902. When young, they would bind their feet tighter and tighter until the feet were deformed, only 3 inches long! Scary thought...


Then they would wear tiny shoes like this.

Mr. Cassity was pretty descriptive about the whole process of binding the feet... pretty icky stuff.



After a good lunch at home and a Hogan's Heroes episode, we went to our afternoon classes.

My fourth painting, I'm glad to say, seems to be going pretty well. Although it's still not very developed, Mr. Sunabe stopped me at the end of the class to say that it's turning out very well. :) The red parts in the picture is the underpainting.

It's from a photo taken near our house, and it is really fun to work on!


I walked home after class, then Priscilla and I FINALLY washed our car! It must've been almost 2 months since we'd last washed it! The car is pretty old so it can't get sparkling clean, but it still looks much cleaner than before. I wonder how long it'll be before some nasty bird bombs it...

All four of us ate lasagna together for dinner, then had our prayer meeting in our room. Finally, I finished up my ASL homework and watched more Hogan's Heroes with Naomi and Priscilla.

And that is the end of the day. good night!
