Hello folks :) Okay so I didn't make it to the Eternal City after all. No sweat, Rome can wait. In the meantime, the weather in Norwich is BOOTIFUL at about 22 degrees in the day and 10 at night. Here's a picture of Norfolk Terrace and some daffodils to give you an idea of what it's like. I'm currently working on an Anglo-Saxon essay and occasionally, I get a glimpse of third-years slaving away frantically, working hard on their dissertations.

This someone/something Unknown was shy enough to knock on the door, or it was yet pondering over the necessity to do so, or it simply let me to decide whether or not ot invite it.  Even though the coffee was black and strong I was not yet awake enough to make a quick and corretct decision. Thus, I was standing on the other side of the doorstep peering at this Something through the door glass. It was bright, full of sunshine and i don't know how and why but I was absolutely convinced that it was full of happiness. However the Time is a less prone to long contemplations creature, it was running out leaving me few and few minutes before the class begins. Therefore, I was almost literally forced to make the first step towards the Unknown. I have opened the door and steped i...
