Over the weekend I can’t say I did much, Saturday especially. Then again, I think I needed the break. Sunday was lovely, however.
We did our first little group field trip up to Hampstead Heath for a picnic. The view from Parliament Hill is quite the draw, with the whole city laid out to one side and the nicely wooded hills of Highgate on the other. Very nice. We parked ourselves up at the top and enjoyed a delightfully brisk London afternoon.
Today was orientation for our students. Rather, it was “induction.” Meetings and powerpoint presentations, mostly. Still, some useful info AND I got my University College London Staff ID card. It’s appropriately hideous. I was pretty awake and with it, smiling and all, but the camera makes me look disheveled and strung out. This is likely a digital special effect, like sepia or negative. Amazing what they can do with computers these days.
All in all, a useful day in the sense that we are getting close to being on a regular schedule, which I am looking forward to. I’m behind in my work already (not that that’s a surprise).
Tomorrow will be nice. Our first Art History course in the afternoon. I think I’ll walk around a bit in the morning, maybe down to Fleet Street and over to some of the theatres. More ruminations on what I see are in order. I’ve got nothing interesting to say from the last three days…or four, since my sketch-tacular internet is out. More tomorrow! (and this post into the bargain!)
