Wow. Sometimes all of the great things happen at once.

The sun is out today and I am not sitting in my classroom freezing and cursing the rain. I have two sets of quizzes left to grade and a quick set of homework to check and then I'll actually be caught up on all of my grading. Meaning, I wont have to grade anything this weekend (nor will I have to feel guilty about not grading anything).

Moreover, tomorrow I am buying myself a smart phone. (Happy early birthday to me!) And on Saturday evening, I am going to round up some friends to go and check out the night of museums in Sofia. Museums all over the city are going to be open after hours <em>and</em> free for the night.

The Sofia Echo ran <a title="Sofia Echo" href="http://sofiaecho.com/2011/05/13/1088590_a-night-at-the-museum" target="_blank">an article about the event this morning</a>.
<blockquote>Museum and gallery hours rarely co-operate with the hectic schedule of one's life, but once a year, the busy schedule cannot serve as an excuse to stay away. As in previous years, Bulgaria will join the European Night of the Museums and Galleries on May 14 2011, with 60 venues throughout the country hosting impressive, creative and lively performances and exhibitions. Entrance to all events is free.</blockquote>
Sounds great to me. I love museums and I love free.

One spot on my list to check out is the Sofia City Gallery.  I've just really like nearly every exhibit that I've seen there and right now there is an exhibit which is part of the <a title="Paper Arts Fest" href="http://www.amateras.eu/foudation/home3.html" target="_blank">Sofia Paper Art Fest 2011</a> called<a title="In Harmony with Nature" href="http://www.sghg.bg/newsite/index.php?module=exhibitions&amp;lg=en" target="_blank"> In Harmony with Nature</a>.

Thoughts? Where are you headed? Which museums and galleries will you check out?
