Stuck in the Middle

Today is Middle Child's Day! Since I am a middle child, I'm pretty much a pro on them. Middle child's are always by far the most appreciated by the public, because we are the underdog story. We aren't quite as well trained as the older child, and never got quite the recognition that was given to the younger child. I would go in to full detail on my life as a middle child, but I really don't want to ignore any of this awesome trip. So instead, I will someday regale you with tales from my past. Until then, if you are a middle child, take some extra time out of your day to let yourself know how great you are. I say extra time because we all know we already spend a lot of time doing that on a regular basis.

Greeking Out

Today is The End Of The Middle Ages Day! Celebrating the day that is considered to be the end of the middle ages by most scholars (May 29th, 1453), today is meant to mark the anniversary of the fall of the Ottoman Empire. There are quite a fews ways to celebrate it. You could go to a renaissance festival, which would have a plethora of ways to have old timey fun. You could celebrate the day by learning more about the time period of the middle ages up to and slightly past its ending. However, a stroke of luck happened today for me. Some of my friends were going to eat at a greek restaurant, and the end of the middle ages is when greek scholars migrated around the known world spreading their knowledge. It is unknown to me if my friends knew that they were celebrating the holiday, and I should have probably brought it up, as I have discussed the holidays with some of them before. It isn't easy to talk when you are eating a delicious gyro sandwich, though. I also tried fried calamari for the first time. How does every blog post turn into something about food? I'm sorry... No I'm not, actually. Food is awesome. Especially greek food.
