Last Sunday, I braved the rain and cold, got out of bed before noon and drove up to the Indianapolis Museum of Art. I was going to complete an assignment for my oh-so-interesting art history class and was planning on going through the exhibit about Roman Art from the Louvre Museum in Paris as quickly as possible, as I wanted to get home in time to catch a small nap before going to work later that evening.
