In Between Classes, I do This

www.nationalgallery.org.uk

The National Gallery, London's premiere art museum is located not 300 feet from our class building.  It costs absolutely nothing to enter.  This works out well for an uncultured cheap-skate like myself.

When other students may be cramming for their next class, or enjoying a leisurely lunch, you may find me chowing down my PB&J sandwich en route to exploring the next wing of the Museum.  But you might also find me napping, as well.

So far, I've accomplished one full wing:  Art from 1200-1500.  Four wings to go...
