Week 10 - Tuesday

Note: I can see that my posts are often a bit long. I promise, I'll make them shorter from now on!

Early rising again to be on time for a seminar on The Alchemist by Ben Jonson at nine. Still with sleepy head carrying on for the seminar on Persuasion (Jane Austen) at ten. Just in time remembered that I had to moderate the discussion there. Ok, all ended well. Then with sleepy head to the Robinson Library to write my account of Monday. Lunch at twelve with James and Sam (Belgian-Libanese). Nice. Lecture on Jane Austen and Walter Scott by prof. Claire Lamont. Normally very interesting and exciting, but now boring: all the time about the exam that I don’t have to do. Again an hour’s time. I really don’t know what I did then anymore. Only interesting thing so far that day was now to come: the lecture on Bartholomew Fair (Ben Jonson) by professor Tom Cain, our lecturer. From a quarter to 5 until a quarter passed six I read the online Standaard newspaper. Then set off for the Monument to visit the Christmas market with Julia, Solene, Verena, Cathrin, Beatha and Kristian (both Norwegian). Had my hands washed with something really nice-smelling. Had a German Bratwurst and some of those Dutch poffertjes. Bought some delicious Dutch goat-nettle cheese. Went off home to read some Vergil for next day’s lecture. Off to bed quite early (still not wholy recovered from the weekend…).
