Small pleasures in life

 

 

Even if many people deny it, small things do count. Especially if you start a new school and you do not know a single soul and every place looks totally unfamiliar. I took these photos in the very first week of the semester while I was trying to familiarize myself with the Institute of English Studies. Two seemingly insignificant sheets of paper on the notice boards, still they are the little pleasures that helped me survive the first days. 

What are notice boards for? Providing students with a load of dry data. But among those awful lot of dry pieces of information you might find some little signs indicating that those sheets had been put there by people, and not by data bank robots. You only have to look for them and you will feel that even if what you get is nothing more than sheets of paper containing a lot of indigestible information, you are somehow still taken care of.

  1. I think someone who notices billboard posts like that is actually a great seer!
