Busy times ahead.

I promised Vera I would show some photos of my notes from my Slavic language history class. The exam is in a month, so I had better start learning all these rules. I'm not at all worried about the part where we have to read a text in old Slavic, but memorizing rules... not my favorite thing to do, unfortunately. Posting may become somewhat sparse here in the time to come since I have to write two more essays (one includes reading quite a lot), prepare for this exam and the translation exam, pass a smaller literature exam in eight days and somehow try to read some fiction. I have now missed two 1-book-a-week books :S



This is the most recent text I've been reading, on how Oleg took Kiev in 882. Doesn't it look pretty?


And happy news! I got my Bible from the Ukraine a couple days ago. Once again, I love eBay. When exams are over I'm going to have some fun with this one and the old church Slavonic textbook I read through.


I never post photos of my cats anymore. Let's change that.


Also, I kind of have a problem with Blogger. Every time I use the non-HTML version of the text editor, the text changes into some Indian script every time I press space. Anyone know why that is?

    Your notes look nice and not messy at all ;) You haven't seen my notes! Though, I don't make many and have already forgotten how to write so your handwriting looks calligraphic :)
    How did you put the cat behind the books? O_o
    Did you study shinalese some time ago??

    The cats love to climb in behind the books in various bookshelves. That, and they are both rather small cats.

    I just looked a bit at Sinhala while on Sri Lanka. Also got the books on that occassion, just in case I'd ever want to learn it.

    Sorry about that Gösta :D
