Day 649 War and Peace: A Late Night Reminder of Uni Deadlines




Almost 2am
I was hoping to finish the dress by this time, but the bottom lining, the zip and the rose are still missing. It is going to be an early start today. By mid-afternoon I need to be ready to welcome Christina at the airport. Can’t wait!
I remember all those late nights at uni working on projects from 20 minutes sleep to a couple of hours here and there. I usually had the TV or the Radio on. This time I watched the 2007 adaptation of War and Peace, one of my most memorable reading experiences of my life. It was a Christmas and I read the whole 4 volumes in a week or so. I almost drank every page: all the military tactics of Kutuzov and the 30 page long philosophical analysis at the end. I did not leave out a word. This novel is very near to what I might call perfection.
