In which I am a complete and utter knucklehead.

I was supposed to get a cello today.

Actually, I was supposed to get a cello last week. But that didn't work, because I was informed on the day that I was told I could go pick it up that the woman to whom I needed to speak wasn't actually there.

So Roberto Andreoni, the director of the IES Milan program and world renowned composer and music teacher, former director of the Accademia Internazionale della Musica, calls over to the Accademia for me, right then and there, to set up an appointment for my for this week to go pick out a cello.

Except, when he tells me "Thursday at 12:30" for some reason, my head goes "Thursday at 6:30."

Why? Because I am a knucklehead.

So of course I show up to the Accademia today, to get the cello that I've been dying to have for the past three weeks, and everything's shut up and locked down.

DAMN IT ALL!!!

I have to perform in Workshop on Tuesday. I honestly don't know how long it would take to get a cello, but I'm guessing an hour is minimum, plus getting there and back is 80 combined minutes on the tram. I have no time tomorrow to go get it, because I'm leaving for Venice for the weekend at 2 and have class until 11:30 before that. Monday I could do it provided the woman is excepting me, but that would probably involve skipping most/all of Italian class and being late to Workshop.

DAMN IT ALL!!!

On the bright side, I'm going to Venice this weekend, and you're not. Ha ha ha so there.
