It is late spring. MacDaner is watching the weather forecast in the morning news. They are saying the temperature is going to rise up to 12° C this day.

What would MacDaner do?

Get excited. Put on shorts, a sleeveless shirt, and flip-flops. Then he would arrange a barbecue event in his garden.

Nerdy monster

I never thought I would be upset and protesting that the library does not have a book that I need (just like about 100 other students attending a course with me).

I never thought that I would hide a book in another section of the library just because I'm afraid someone might take it before me tomorrow morning.

God..., school has turned me into a monster..


Coffee attraction

That's the window of a shop for secondhand books in Aarhus.
It seems that it knew I was gonna pass, because it had this coffee book staring at me from between the others.
