Magical towns

CORS bidding has begun and i sure miss participating in it. the delight of seeing modules you want to read allocated to you, the first lectures and the smell and feel of new books...classroom learning may later heighten to much intellectual challenge or dwindle to a bore, but one thing is sure, the excitement of starting a new semester never fails to meet those of 11-year-olds who receive owl mails, who trot through Diagon Alley wide-eyed carrying parchments with a list of classroom paraphernalia. A new semester is dawning and i will miss it all, though i am sure that in its place lies a journey still akin to walking down a magical town, albeit of a different kind.
