Yikes! 3 full weeks left!
Yikes - doing a little grading today I happened to glance at a full month calendar (my daily glance is at a weekly) and I realized JUST HOW LITTLE TIME I HAVE LEFT TO TELL THEM EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT ROME.
Those of you who know my style know that I'm a tad serious. Please stop me if I start talking too fast.
On the other hand, having been useful before 9:30 I had today more or less off. I had to pay a call at the Scuola to turn in the change from yesterday's petty cash (paying for the guided tour) but other than that I had nothing I had to do today. So I drew some, walked a lot, and resolved to go to the Sebastiano del Piombo show at the Palazzo Venezia. Did you know that there's a perpetual adoration chapel in the Palazzo Venezia? Very 1990s, but in a nice way. Somehow I lost momentum and ended up back here for lunch and didn't get back over that way again. Oh, well - the High Renaissance can wait.
The other two things I would like to do this weekend is get into the House of Augustus (it's not clear to me from all the websites if individuals need reservations or not) and go back to Sant'Agnese f.l.m. for some pictures. The best thing about digital is knowing without having to go through expensive processing if your pictures came out. The bad thing is that you know damn well that you should go back and reshoot some of them. So, back out the Via Nomentana for me, tomorrow!
