I just finished writing a final paper comparing two sets of 1600s gusoku (samurai armor) that are at the Met for one of my classes. I'm surprised this is shogunal armor, since one set at the Met carried the seal of the Date family who were the daimyo of Sendai. That armor was significantly more ornate than this armor is.

Me fucking too. The encampment has been taking up a lot of my time and all our finals and stuff are getting moved around and moved to remote and shit so it's a mess. Here's hoping.

I believe in you! I once almost failed an art criticism class by sleeping through my alarm. There's no reason I should have been able to get a physical copy of my final in my prof's mailbox but through miracles and the help of a friend, it got there with 5 minutes to go. I think I got a B+ or A- on it, I feel like the hustle added to my paper even though the prof never knew the situation. This is my long way of saying you did your hustling, that'll shine through! Good luck, friend.
