Student, poet and generally obsessed with language in a somewhat unhealthy manner - wordy, too 😁

What became of sir Olivier you ask? Well, let me tell you:

Got a bit bored on the train - started writing a silly poem!! 🙃🙃

[F. Capelle @FennaCapelle]

@BruvverEccles Hopefully pursue a PhD, if possible..... 🫣 I've discovered my absolute passion for teaching, so I'd like to bring myself into a position where I can do a lot more of that, possibly at University level (if I'm to teach Hebrew) ☺️
Publishing feels somehow secondary to me

[F. Capelle @FennaCapelle]

Today was my last day as a teacher - how I'll miss my pupils!! Incredibly grateful for the opportunity I've had to learn from them, watch them grow, get to know and appreciate them for the smart, driven young people they are
It is said that one never forgets one's first class. ☺️

@Canutes4 No... I won't 😔 unfortunately there is no opening for Greek next term!
Despite the fact that I am not technically qualified to teach, I've tried to do so with all the skill, enthusiasm and passion I could summon. I hope they've learned a lot and felt supported in the process

A seriously high quality Jewish joke I just came across.

Sometimes one needs a good, long cry - it replenishes the courage to keep going

All lectures and classes finished for this year - I have almost made it through my first year in Leiden. A crazy thought indeed
Now only me, myself and 3 research papers... and then.... finally back to some Shakespeare over the summer break....😉

Lewis' reply to Tolkien, who had written to share the news that The Lord of the Rings would be published. This is a treasure…

Listening to a lovely Hebrew song titled:
"אני ואתה נשנה את העולם"
"You and I will change the world"

- anyone in to do it together with me? Not before a cup of coffee and biscuits, though.... seems a little bit difficult to achieve all alone and on an empty stomach .... 😅

[F. Capelle @FennaCapelle]

Overheard two young (Dutch) girls playing:
"If you are Batman, you've gotta be evil - doesn't "bad" mean evil, or something like that?"
- the other: "but I don't want to be "Badgirl"!

[F. Capelle @FennaCapelle]

This morning's fabric haul!! Will make for a delightful toad bag or pillowcase - possibly even both 🙃❤️
It reminds me of Jerusalem

A snippet of what C.S. Lewis wrote in review of Tolkien’s LOTR: “We know at once it has done things to us.”

I was on a walk and sat down to rest on a bench outside of a supermarket. 3 young ladies came up to me, 16/17 years old: if I wanted to buy alcohol for them, I looked adult enough, and they had a party tonight
It seems I am growing up.... 😅

This is one of the most stunning concerts I'm aware of, and in such a venue ... - Loreena McKennit really is timeless

I am rather taken with braids lately ...
