The internship is slowly coming to an end. I'm glad. I wasn't entirely happy with it; I accepted mainly because I needed money to pay for my studies, at least partially.
The place is terrible. There's no teamwork, no trust, no healthy atmoshpere... just arguments, complaints and miscommunication. It's incredibly tiring, particualrly for an outsider.
University. I'm working on my MA degree in English. It's both blessing and a curse. On the one hand, I'm so happy with the lectures and lecturers that I have, or my current promoter - amazing man; interested in modernism - although I'm not interested in that particular movement as a whole, I'm interested in T.S. Eliot. So I'm in good hands I hope.
On the other hand; the quality of the remaining classes leaves a lot to wish for. Particularly poetry class. I was so happy at the beginning of the year that we are going to have a separate class to discuss poetry. Well, there's not much of discussing going on there. There's not much going there in general. During the first class we discovered that out of 15 people from my group, I'm the one who finds pleasure in reading poetry... furthermore, I'm the only one who LIKES poetry.
And what's the best of it? The teacher admitted that she actually hates poetry herself and that she understands "us".
Little alien... I am.
I'm also reading an article on Hemingway's style and Japanese esthetics in his collection "In Our Time". Hemingway... and you know you will miss adjectives and adverbs for many lonely sentences, pages... though a bit of Death in the Afternoon might help (I actually mean the famous drink - Absinthe mixed with champagne ;)
And the trip... oh, it was one of the most amazing and surprising experiences in my whole life!There are no words to describe it ;)
One thing is for sure. I'm going there again. Next year :)
And those are a few illustrations (1-3 by Nielsen, 4-6 by Bauer) I found somewhere on the Internet and fell in love with immediately.
Of course I had to share them.
