Wandering
I'm having one of those weeks that ought to be annoying - talking to an apartment finding service constantly about my next move (don't ask! I'll blog eventually), trying to track down a friend or two who I'd already communicated with, notifying folks I hadn't communicated with, knocking on some (literal and figurative) doors about a project, getting a damn haircut - and nothing has been going very well.
But you know, I'm in Rome and the sun is shining. Sono abbastanza contento.
I went with my colleague Bonnie, 2 of her students (who happen to be former advisees of mine), and 2 of her friends from Duqesne and saw Guido Reni's Aurora yesterday. That's an example of an only-on-the-first-of-the-month-if-that-doesn't-fall-on-Sunday Rome experiences, and one well'worth tracking down. GOSH what colors.
Today has been more frustration, but I got a haircut, which is a start.

Give my regards to Bonnie - and enjoy Roma; after all, the sun is shining.
