And it is finished. Really a shame I won't be able to bring it home with me (I don't have the money to pay for shipping), I'm hoping I can persuade one of my professors to accept it as a gift.

Nearly completed.

do they have post cards over there, and post office? hint

Yes they do have postcards, I haven't physically seen a post office but I'm sure they're around here somewhere. If you want a postcard you'll have to tell me who you actually are though. Also I'll be delivering them personally since it'd arrive sooner and a lot cheaper.

More modern art. I approached, thinking; What is that dangling yellow sticky note in the alcove? Is that art? I pause, examining it. Perhaps it's a notice the piece has been moved?  I read the note: Grounding? What the heck is that supposed to mean. I look around for awhile, trying to decide if this is supposed to be art. I go to an art school guys, and I honestly couldn't tell. But then I saw it, down there on the floor. It's tag. Yes, it is in fact art.

Conceptual art. There was a plain white structure within a room it wouldn't photograph well, but I think the label explains it all. Except that I almost vomited when I went inside very briefly.
