I decided to have a slow start to my spring semester. I started by visiting the city library – I really shouldn’t go there, though. I lose all self-restraint. Then I took the bus to the SRC to say hi to Roweena. Hanna, Lara and Miriam were also there.
Sitting in the master’s cave, watching darkness fall over the oak tree outside, listening to the others working – it felt nice. I was reading the introductions to my new library books: Den nya kvinnostaden, Ghana must go and A walk in the woods. And I thought: if I went upstairs to get tea, and someone came down and only saw the books on the desk, they would have no problem guessing it was me that was back. Swedish and English, feminist, popular science and history, African, a novel, smart humor and travel stories.
Then, to the Geoscience building. I had no access to the computer lab, which means I will have to renew my card. I sat in the lunch room for a moment, feeling at home. I didn’t recognize a single face, though. There’s a completely new generation there now.
