FIRST ALL NIGHTER
i had to go back to my sight which was tiber island, because i heard that the bottom half of the island was open to the public. so niki and i decided to check it out. when we got there the stairs were being cleaned so niki climbed over the railing by the church (it was a less of a drop). she then started her way down the hillside made of cobblestone. i then hopped the fence and started down the hill. i saw her sitting and scooting down the side of the hill and asked myself why she was sitting. i then slipped on pine needles and fell on my tailbone, both hands, my right elbow, and my camera. i then proceeded to slide down the ten foot hill and got up quickly and tried to walk it off. niki burst out laughing and so did the doctors that were on their smoking break. note to self use the damn steps. after taking one of the hardest spills in a while i took some pictures of my sight and made some observations of the people visiting the island. then i decided to do some freestyle walking, because that's what all the cool kids do. ha. after going back to the studio i worked on my sketchbook until i had to go to art history. we went to the vatican where there were 1,500 german pilgrims. they were really loud and excited. they wore light blue shirts that read ROM. most of them were pretty nice and spoke english pretty well. the parents on the other hand were not cool, they would cut in line, push, and breath really hard on me. it was like they didn't know what a personal bubble was. this was weird because germans that i've met are so much more hospitable. one parent pinned me against a barrier and wouldn't let me pass trying to block me in so his kids could cut in front of me. so i said he should calm down, we're all going to the same place. he then pushed me hard into the barrier, so i push him back and got back with the rest of my class. after finally getting into st. peter's we were told we couldn't be there because of the size of our group and our professor wasn't supposed to be taking. so i guess he was the only one that couldn't talk, because everyone in the entire church was allowed to. so we had our leture on the steps. after class i worked until four in the morning. i then had to listen to a lecture on illuminated manuscripts. i love how they stress sketches and research when in the real world we might get a couple of hours instead of a month and a half of not doing anything productive. i 'm glad i'm paying a lot of money to do absolutely nothing. i just want a project that applies to graphic design not arts and craft. for adrianna's birthday niki and i bought her a 5 kg industrial size jug of nutella. she was happy.
