I'm nicely sandwiched between finishing a paper and having a midterm next week, so I thought it might be best to ignore studying for a bit more and update the old blog. It's been almost a week- wow.
The coolest Venice thing I did this week was go to get my numero di codice fiscale. It is my goverment issued ID code so that I can get paid to work at the school. I will be keeping the lab open 2 nights a week so students can stay late and work. Some nice easy work that will put a very small, but still nice piece of change in my pocket. Tomorrow will be my first day on the job.
Anyways, getting the code required me to go unattended to a governement building and wade through some paperwork. It was by far the easiest bit of paperwork I have done here hense far. Everyone was very kind and spoke slowly to me. What was crazy was that the building used to be a church (I think) and some of the tombs still remained on the walls (I'm sure about that). But I guess that is what happens when you can never build.
Besides that school has been pretty busy. I spend all day at the lab working my little figures off, making pretty pretty art. On Wednesday the fellow Kristin and I got the screen printing shop in order, so that is now good to go! Woot! I want to make a fashion illustration of the 11 american's as pigeons and silk screen that. It sounds fun to me!
Okay, okay, I'll give this whole learning thing a shot- FINE!!!
oh, and I miss you all terribbly.

Val,
you rock!! Queen of the Screenprinters!!
Why were there tombs in a church?
Go Val Go! Go Val Go!
People were barried in churches all the time back in the day- Venice, having no real ground to put people in, loved throwing them up on the wall in a tomb.
That is very interesting! I think I'd be a little freaked out though if church involved being by dead corpses... and would probably go less than I do now! ;)
