Survey of Sleeping in Art History
I think I might pass out from this class. I can't understand my professor. At all. Her accent is thickly Asian, and having a wireless internet connection is the only thing that's keeping me from jumping out the window. The lighting couldn't be more appropriate for a nap, and many are taking advantage of it. A couple others are watching [i]Dirty Dancing[/i], while another girl is editing something for 4D in Final Cut Express.
So I've decided to take advantage of the situation. I'm updating.
Yesterday I got the chance to go to the Natural History Museum with my drawing class, and it was awesome. The entire class spent the first hour we were there just walking around and trying to take it all in. We were also looking for the best exhibits to draw, and many were attracted to the full sized, stuffed African elephants and mammoth bones. I was intrigued by the mammoths myself, but there were already five or six people drawing them, and I didn't want to commit to that before looking through the rest of the museum. So I set off. I was determined to find something different to draw, but alas, I didn't find anything else as interesting as the mammoths. What I did find was a full size whale sculpture hanging from the ceiling of the Oceanic exhibit, a simulation of the 'Big Bang' laser light show, a café, two incredibly random wings of the museum that I ended up lost in, and after another hour or so, an excellent idea of what the museum had to offer and where.
No matter, though, because I found myself back at the mammoths. And it went pretty well, I think. A funny side story is that a few girls came up to me, only the didn't speak English very well. Spanish was their native tongue, and after a few translation attempts, it turned out they wanted to take a picture of my drawing. Take about an ego boost. I couldn't have asked for a better compliment. Some kid nabbed one of my eraser's though, the stupid git.
Other than that life is not that exciting. More so than this art history class, but not by all that much. "I need to dance! I want to ha cha cha!" That's a Marx Brother's quote.
Blaaaah.

it was good to see you at drawing class on monday
the girls were not trying to just take a picture of your drawing. they were trying to do a little something else if you know what i mean. You know you would love someone speaking something to you in a language you don't even understand. hotness
