a day for painters at the pitti palace.

Today was my lucky day, I aced my Italian exam. Boo Ya! and I got to go on a field trip to the Pitti Palace with my painting class. Normally I am in the mood to paint but today after my delightful lunch I was just not in the mood to stand there and paint for 3 hours. My teacher obviously has ESP and so when I arrived at class I was thrilled that we were going on a field trip. I was able to take some snap shots of a couple of my paintings from the Pitti Palace before the security guide caught me. They have this intense alarm system at the palace and if you get too close a work of art, it sets off an alarm. It was entertaining because everything would be silent, and then all of the sudden a loud alarm would go off and everyone would look at each other to see who was the culprit. In Italian lab we started watching this movie about a women who leaves her family while traveling with her entire extended family. She ends up hitch hiking a ride to Venice where she stays in the apartment with this man whom she meets at dinner one night and has to ask to stay with him because she doesn't have enough money. We later find out that he has been trying to kill himself but every time he tries, this woman keeps returning. We haven't finished it yet but I will let you know. The Italians sure love dramatic films. I worked all night on book arts until the Mid-Mean-Nice-girl kicked us out.
I stayed up late trying to finish book arts but realized after a few too many head nods that it was time for bed and that I would just have to face the fact that I wasn't going to be done with my project tomorrow at 9:30. Nighty night.
