the last week and a half of my life has been spent analyzing every detail of this painting ('School of Athens' Raphael, 1508-1512). i am an expert on it now! i can tell you anything you want to know. :D
PLUS, look at my baby Aristotle, love of my life, there in the middle. and he is holding my favorite book in his hand!! (we're meant to be...)

p.s. yeah it's beautiful, but i'm deliriously happy that i'm finished writing about it...(isn't 'deliriously' a cool word? i'm going to try to randomly use it whenever i can)(no, i didn't sleep last night)
