Well overdue Sheffield trip report with pictures!
Dear
reader,
And now, for my very much overdue trip report of my visit to Sheffield! I have to say I really enjoyed my visit to Sheffield. We traveled from Schiphol to Manchester by
plane after which we took the train from the airport to Sheffield. There we
took the tram directly to the B&B. After walking around for a while and
cursing the google maps printout which I made (which is always super confusing,
since you never know which way is up or down… we almost went the wrong way
because of it) we were debating whether or not we were in the right street. It
did not last long before I spotted the B&B though…. at the top of a very,
veerrryyy steep hill. Imagine this: three people walking up a steep hill of
which two are dragging a really heavy suitcase behind them. I am sure that the neightbours
had a good laugh.
(It's the Victorian house on the left... Yep, steep hill is steep)

Death and mourning
Today one of my teachers has been so kind as to publish the reading list for one of the courses which I will be taking, called Classics: Death and Mourning.
I will have to read seven books in total:
Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886)
Don DeLillo, White Noise (1985)
Thomas Mann, Death in Venice (1912)
Sophocles, Antigone (~442 BC)
William Faulkner, As I Lay Dying (1930)
Assia Djebar, Algerian White (1995)
José Saramago, Death at Intervals (2005) [also translated as Death with Interruptions]
