Well well well. As of today, we officially have all of North America under our belt, as Canada join the illustrious list of 'nations which have visited my blog'. And the visitor came from Montreal, home of, well, all sorts. A little bit of background reading infoms me that it is a former home of the Olympic games, an F1 circuit, and is the second largest French-speaking city in the world, after Paris. How amazing is that. It's also home to the enviably good McGill University. So who knew. Looking at the photos, it looks like a pretty lovely place, although, being French-speaking, I might have some trouble. Maybe one to visit with Anna though, I'm sure she could manage it. We've had a bit of an increase in traffic recently actually, so perhaps we are sitting on the precipice of huge, international digital fame. I doubt it, I've only ever written one post on here which hasn't been boring to anyone bar myself, but you never know. Perhaps I've come into fashion somehow.

"The circle of human knowledge, illuminated by the pale, cold light of reason, is so infinitesimally small, the dark regions of human ignorance which lie beyond that luminous ring so immeasurably vast, that imagination is feign to step up to the borderline and send the warm, richly colored beams of her fairy lantern streaming out into the darkness ; and so, peering into the gloom, she is apt to mistake the shadowy reflections of her own figure for real beings moving in the abyss.

I'm a 23 year-old student in London Cambridge London, studying English Literature Law. It's hard to really think of anything truly personal I can put here that might give you some idea of who I am, so I will just tell you that my favourite Shakespeare play is Richard II, my favourite chocolate bar is Snickers, and I have a bit of a thing for instant coffee, especially if someone else makes it for me.

I'm interested in Renaissance Literature, Higher Education policy, and libraries.
I'm completely in love with a Scottish girl.
