Cutting in line (again) at the Vatican Museums

I knew I had to face my ultimate nightmare: the ever popular Vatican Museums. Because it was raining out, I knew it would be a go-to place for tourists. However, being that is a weekday, I was hoping for a lighter showing. Not so much. The line had wrapped around the building and estimated wait time was 4-5 hrs.
With no Chinese tour groups in sight, I swiftly joined a group of Spanish-speaking tourists wearing yellow stickers. They went through a "reservations-only" line that had no wait. Having no sticker, I thought I'd get caught but figured if that happened, I would just visit tomorrow early in the morning. But to my delight, I was in within 2 minutes! I also showed my old student ID which allowed me to buy the ticket for 8 instead of 15 euros. My lucky day!
I know the Vatican Museums house some of the most important works of art but it was a clusterf*ck of people inside. It was hard to just move. I finally got herded inside the Sistine Chapel, which was almost like a campground 'cause people were literally sprawled out all the floor like they were going to be there overnight. I quickly went to the middle, snuck a picture of the famous ceiling and bolted out of there. I then made pit stops at Stanze di Raffaello and Pinacoteca, and caught a glimpse of Belvedere Torso (what inspired Michelangelo's rendering of Christ in The Last Judgment, in the Sistine Chapel).
