Yesterday Pati and I met up around 6 40 and decided to go to the leather market. We ran into Alex on the way there. We just wandered around. I'll need to go back eventually, but I don't want to lol. It's awful right now, with all the tourists.
Alex and I decided to to to dinner. I haven't been to a sit down dinner since spring break (well, that I paid for. Cheri and Kathy took me to two.) It was really good - fountain soda (a coveted and longed for object,) gnocchi with smoked salmon and little shrimp, and we both got an appetizer. So, when you go to Italy and the English menu says, soup of mussles, it's not a soup FYI. It's a giant bowl of mussles that you eat out of the shell and it's almost too much for two people. But dinner was good and I was glad to go out. I don't know why I didn't just read the Italian menu.
Afterwards we went to the bar J.Joyce and played foosball with some Italian guys. We asked them and they just wanted to play. When we were done, they didn't try adn skeaze on us. I appreciated that.
Today I went to see.... the David, again. After yesterday! The really frustrating thing about taking the art history courses here is that you always go to the same place. But, interesting fact you don't learn about the David usually. So, when you look at it, it's obvious that his hands are too big, and everyone says so and how could Michelangelo mess up his proportions? Well, the David was made to be viewed from the top of our cathedral. So the proportions had to be tweaked so you could see him from up there. All the sculptors do that here. They don't teach you that in your basic art history course, and they should. We also went to the New Sacristy today, which is just a big Michelangelo room... slash tomb for the Medicis, but Michelangelo himself pretty much said, no one will care about these people in 1000 years.
Oh. I just had a weird moment. I've been thinking it's 2 30, but it's only 12 53. Weird. That just messed up everything I was thinking about not doing. Now I have time to do it.
I'm really frustrated. Today, I had the brilliant thought that maybe I could pay for my summer UF classes with my bright futures, because you have until like the end of your sophmore semester to activate it. I go to open my bright futures email... and then I remember that LESS THAN A WEEK AGO I was trying to send myself this really big document that I needed for class and my mailbox was full and it wouldn't take it and I kept deleting everything trying to get it. I deleted the bright futures email and then I deleted my deleted folder just to try and get this one stupid document. A week ago. Not even!
I emailed bright futures and told them the gist and asked if there was a way to get my pin number back. They have to have students who've had emails crash or something. Most people probably wrote theirs down. I never did, because I go to school in ATL and I knew I was going to stay there. The UF summer classes thing was unexpected. Well crap. Also, trying to enter the public system is confusing me. I can't figure UF's website out at all. The registrars website gives you someone to email with questions. But it's not the registrars office your email goes to, it goes to the admissions office, where someone says, sorry, we can't help you out, go to the registrars website to get their email. ... really? really.
Oh hey, it's homemade taco thursday.
