I got a really bad cold yesterday. I am unsure why I seem to contract whatever cold, flu, and stomach bug that is circling around campus at the time. I take my vitamin C and when I am in the dining hall I don't even touch the serving utensil with my hand.  I am going to borrow a camera and take pictures in the ceramics studio, but until then here I am eating my breakfast yogurt!

I have my Biology class and music healing today. Here is link with some information on Professor Graves. http://www.furious.com/perfect/milfordgraves.html.

Have a beautiful day!

Love, Talyah

I made this at Barry's during Field Work Term. It is slip casted so I didn't form the women. I just assembled the platter and women and added the lines for dimension. 

Hi Family.

Hi Dad and Karen and Mom and Jahvtz and Yossi and all the people I love!  I am starting this blog as a way to stay better connected while I live in the rollng hills of Vermont. 

My intention is that this will be a place for m

e to share some of my recent (and not so recent) work (i.e. pottery and anything else I have made or written in the last year) 

My writings will include everything and anything I feel like sharing such as

 plans for the future, plans for the present, anecdotes, etc.

So for starter, as you may know I have applied to study abroad in Varanasi India for all of next year! Here is the link to the program I applied to: http://www.studyabroad.wisc.edu

well don't click on that because it didn't work but you can go to the main University of Wisconsin Website and click study abroad and then programs and then India, Varanasi.

Varanasi is considered the holiest city in India and thousands travel to the Holy Ganges River to bathe in its blessed water. If I decide to go to this program I will need to cancel all of summer plans (Karens family gathering, Portland and Cali) and will be living in a co-op in Madison Wisconsin attending the required pre-orientation that  starts mid-June. 

I am still uncertain if I will in fact end up going through with this plan and I may end up going on my summer excursion and then will apply to go to india second term Junior year.

Check out these really cute videos that I watch with my kick ass roommate Molly  when we are procrastinating from writing papers and reading Freuds Theorys on Sexuality or The Age of Revolution ("the most boring Fucking book I have ever read" -Molly) :
