Bloody Brilliant Day! :)

Today we went to the Art Institute of Chicago! We had class for the first two periods of the day(odd, I know), And then we went down to the Commons to get our group assignments. I wound up with Tommy, Mike, and Seamus(of course, they're were other people, but I honestly didn't care enough to learn their names :P) But Andrew, Miles, Henry and I were on the same bus. I wound up sitting next to Andrew. Of course, I despise everything bus(IE, tiny seats, too many people, low ceilings, no leg room, etc, etc) SO I spent the trip there in a bit of an annoyed state. But then we went to the restaurant and ahd a great time. They had absolutely Brilliant salsa, which everyone said was spicy but which I didn't think was that bad. Then we went throught the buffet, which was absolute heaven. two plates full of mexican delicousness, followed by a plate of these delicous sweet chips that tasted like churros, and tapioca and flan. Then we went back to the bus, and I felt alot happier. Andrew talked to Miles and I talked to Yanna( A. spelling? b. a cute girl in our grade). But then we went to the Institute. B-O-R-I-N-G! We didn't even get to see anything interesting. They had an entire exhibit on Ancient Egyptian pottery, but did I even get to look at it? nooooo. But then I started noticing something odd. In a room of 16th century art, all of the paintings having to do with the Bible were making the exact same hand gesture. The same gesture God was making in the painting in the Sistine Chapel!


Once I noticed it I saw it everywhere I looked. It was really creeping me out by the time we left. Then we came back to school. We sat around in the Commons for about 15 minutes, then got to go get our stuff. Then I walked home, and started blogging. Thats about it for now, 

Cyaz!

    Yeah, see, we don't have that. We have a gym for an auditorium and we eat in our classrooms.
    And Sam does have a point. =(
