mothwing | Happy Days

I love Crocky. I love this university. I love this accent. I love my subject. I love authors. I love books. I love life. I love thinking. I love reading. I love writing. I love breathing. I love being. I love everyone and everything on the face of earth.

Let's hope this enthusiasm lasts as long as it takes to finish my work for the semester.

Thanks for the questions, Frankie, I'll answer them as soon as possible!

I have been on the tower of the main building of the university today!! Wow, what an experience! The view!! Woooow. There just isn't a more coherent comment I can make. Woooow. That really was worth climbing those 252 steps in that narrowest of all narrow staircases which fits into a tower which is maybe 1,5 m in diameter and is ALL staircase. My poor knees! My legs were shaking when I finally reached the top. But the view... Woooow. You can see the mountains from up there. Well, what I, coming from the northern German lowlands call "mountains". You'd probably call them "wee hills", but they were just awesome. So was the city in spite of it's rather uniform architecture, and the university and the Clyde and Kelvinside and the clouds and the parks and and and. Wooow. It made even me forget my fear of heights.

This is the tower, by the way. Pretty, no? I wish we'd had had that kind of weather today. I hope the picture is not too big for anyone!

Ah, well. Off to Middle English, and then choir in the afternoon. Mozart's Mass in C Minor. Promising title, no? Crocky told me that it was harder than the Dohnányi, but was also more fun. Great. I still suck at reading sheet music and the concert is already on the eleventh of March! Ah, well. I am good at guessing and also good at just pretending to sing when I don't know what I'm doing. James, our conductor, on the other hand, is good at putting the poor altos somewhere where they are surrounded by dangerous other voices.

Off to meet Crocky at the French Department now!

Lots of hugs!
