House hunting is stressful, yesterday was tough because of this but also good because so far all my lectures/ seminars have been proper good - especially the seminars.
In my Texts in Time seminar yesterday we talked about opium visions and dreams (we're reading Confessions of an English Opium Eater by Thomas De Quincey) and discovered that only three people in the group, including me, can have lucid dreams (dreams that you can control and wake yourself up from) and so we just discussed that for ages and it was very fun. The people in this group are nicer and more eccentric, and i'm sitting next to a gorgeous Swedish girl who I think I may fall in love with.
Looking at two more houses today and one tomorrow and then making a decision, fingers crossed we'll get somewhere half decent and cheapy.
"...here was the secret of happiness, about which philosophers had disputed for so many ages, at once discovered; happiness might now be bought for a penny, and carried in the waistcoat-pocket; portable ecstasies might be had corked up in a pint-bottle; and peace of mind could be sent down by the mail."
