it my seem rather sad, but a large part of my social life centres around the national library. it has turned into a social club for me. today i arrived at about 10:30. at 1, connar texted to see if i wanted a lunch break. so for 45 minutes we chatted in the cafe and ate. he is writing the great novelof the 21st century and was stressed about some details. then i headed back to work. at about 3, uillieam tapped my shoulder and we went out to the hall for a brief consultation: he has dinner with some old, important, retired professor, and needed advice on what to say and so on. then i headed back to work again. then at 5, just as i was packing up to head out, i run into kristen in the queue to return books. and, of course we headed for a drink, she is stressed about the film she has to shoot for her MA project, in particular as she is having trouble finding a crypt to film in within central london. i am stressed as i am trying to finish writing a monster project. so it seems we are all stressed, and living in the library. what a strange world.

but i like the library here. it doesnt look as nice from the outside as, for example, the françois mitterand in paris, but it is definately more comfortable and better organised inside. i wont even bother to compare it to the lenin library. i especially like the cafes. they are soooo conveniently located....as i know well, having spent a fair amount of time in them! they are also the only library run cafes i have ever seen that serve alcohol. i am not sure if that is a good thing or not....
Couldn't text you because i've run out of credit. Monday 11 am is fine, hope we'll manage this time..
RépondreSupprimeri envy you so much!!! the national library here is horrible, as you very well know. so, i ended up taking books from V. and then copying them, luckily enough he has all the 'classics' i need.
RépondreSupprimerwell if you come to london, we can go together to the library....wow, what a cool person i am, suggesting only the most posh sites around...
