Well, it’s almost 5 am, which means about 2 more hours to go of my shift. I am quite tired, as I refused any coffee tonight. Not because I don’t need it, but because I hope and pray for a deeper sleep…People are moving in my dorm, so it’s not an easy task to sleep during the day

Other than that, the Buddenbrooks start to grow on me. It is actually impossible not to fall in love with Tony and her childish, yet so full of pride attitude. As far as I am concerned, she’s the character that most deserves to go ahead with reading the 700 pages of this huge book.

I am also sure I amazed my colleagues with my need of warmth…I am always cold, most surely the only one at this floor that is cold all the time. The AC is heating the atmosphere, but apparently, not enough for me. Sometimes I think I am lizard-like: I need a lot of heat and my body loses it way too quickly.
