I have decided to revive this blog.
It will feature snippets from my student life, distorted views of the British Culture, reviews and other random thoughts that cross my mind.

My experiences as a German Oxford student
Sonnet 116
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

- Lipstick Jungle - Candace Bushnell (have read this years ago, but recently seen the tv series. cherish the superficial in your life ;)!)
- Living History - Hillary Rodham Clinton (the elections being the only political topic I can reasonably discuss, it seemed like a good idea to back up my opinion...)
