Wuh?

So today in my art history class, we stopped talking about prehistoric art, and started talking about a period that, roughly translated, is the period of Antiquity (I know nothing about art in English). It went from the first century BC to the fourth century AD, our professor explains to us. And this girl somewhere behind me raises her hand and says something to the effect of "Umm...I don't..." and before she could finish, my professor goes on to explain how BC and AD work. The girl responds with "Oh I know but these dates...I don't agree." Now, it wasn't that she disagreed with the time period in which this particular art movement happened...she disagreed with using "before Christ" and "after Christ". And I'm sitting here thinking, "Hold on a minute girl, do you mean to say 'I reject your reality and would like to substitute my own'? Are you really disagreeing with a time system that is essentially universally accepted by Christians and non-Christians alike, just because you don't believe in Jesus? That seems unnecessarily snooty and standoffish." The professor had to explain to her that she wasn't talking about religion, just art. Well, duh. Come on now. It makes me wonder, if this girl is so opposed to our dating system being based around Jesus, how does she function? I can just imagine it...

Random person: When is your birthday?
Girl: [random date], twenty years ago.
Random person: Okay, so 1988?
Girl: No, just twenty years ago.


Brittany and I felt sort of like this about the whole thing:
That's actually a picture of our "I don't speak German" faces, but same difference. Anyway, I have my last class of the week in about twenty minutes...I'm not sure how I'm going to survive, I'm so tired. It's hard having the internet at my house and all my friends in a time zone that's six hours behind me...my 2AM is their after-dinner chill on the internet time. It's rough.
