Life Continues
◇ Luck of the Draw voted and we decided to read (or re-read, in my case) Yumekui Kenbun: Nightmare Inspector! We're doing our discussion on the 12th but I've finished my reread so I'm a bit vibrating with [WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT NOW THO,]
Once we've done our little group discussion I think I'll do a manga review post. I'm not sure I'd rec it, but I do have a lot to say about it and it'll be easier to organise my thoughts once I've talked it through with others and maybe more perspectives will help me figure out how I want to post. I will say though, unilaterally, that the page layouts in it are great. Clover and Yumekui Kenbun are like, two of my top picks for paneling alone.
◇ Despite the housing shortage and how difficult it was to find a place... there appears to be only three people living on my floor in the dorms. So the three of us decided to do a roommate dinner since it's a bit lonely! I saw a glass kettle at a thrift store, going for 2 euro so I bought that, because I have some flowering teas I got for my birthday back in July that I haven't used since... well. It's a bit silly to use something like that where the point is how pretty it is without something nice to see it in, and the price was right. So they made Korean food (and warned me it was spicy, laughs, and I assured them that's not a problem) and I made fancy tea and pan-fried herring.
Next time I'll make them proper Californian food though! Fish or shrimp tacos I think. I'll have to talk to Issac about where to find some stuff, though.
◇ First honours class happened! Soft Power in Morocco. I need to buy plane tickets for the summer trip, but I'm meeting with the academic counselor on Monday to talk finances first. Still, I'm looking forward to it.
◇ After class four of us went down and lunched on the grass at the banks of the canal, sketching, reading library books, Mili talking on the phone in Italian. Spring has arrived and brought the shirking violet Netherlands sun with her. Sometimes I feel so lucky just to be alive.
