Back from the OLWS

Ahoy, readers! Lectori salutem!
 
It's time I checked back -- yes, it's been a long time since I last committed a single entry to this one-man show platform. Things in Valhalla haven't been quiet, but me being my usual busy and ignorant self, I rather tended to the affairs that needed action, not words.
 
Well, that's not entirely true. Most actions needed words, and not a little at that, but I'm happy to announce that my entry exam is now complete with the orals left behind, and I managed to achieve a striking 120 points, which is the standard maximum score. Actually, usually this would mean a huge celebration of wine and boef, optionally some quaffing and carousing, however this result struck me as quite unexpected, and now I really don't know what the hell am I going to with my recently-gained entry to the university.
 
And may I add, at this age...
 
Anyway, of course I read the Austen novel long ago now, that is, Northanger Abbey, and indeed, there were some spoofs of gothick novels, and the point is driven straight at home with them. All in all, I've had a blast reading it, therefore I wholeheartedly recommend reading this novel to every one of you. (That is, every one of you who don't have an overwhelming aversion to anything even remotely romantic.)
 
In the meantime, I've had my fair share of partying here in Valhalla, a lot of work (and I do mean a lot), but things are slowly getting done. I still have a hell of a lot of organizing to do, but I will try to keep this blog alive, however, day-to-day chronicling of my life here in aeternum is going to cease. This thing is going to change if that's the last thing I do. I'm thinking along the lines of starting my first attempts at writing a serial novel here.
 
We'll see each other soon, then... I just have to come up with a feasible idea for a serial.
 
That's just like child's play, ain't it?
