Art Overload

On Saturday, I went to the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) with my suitemate Jessica. It was a really cool place but by the end of it all, I was exhausted. We got back to campus at 5:30 and I slept until 10:30 which was one of the worst sleepy decisions I have made in a long time. All day today I keep reminding myself that I am a real person in public and that this is real life. It's a strange state of reality today.
Anyway, I don't know how many of you are familiar with Instagram but I love it. You take photos with your camera phone and then put cool filters on them and upload them and then you look really artsy and cool. The photos that looks sweet have been "instagrammed" and the other ones are just normal photos. I have all the names of the pieces somewhere but I can't find them in the black hole that is my memory drive. 
Here's the photos I did take at the IMA:
