The summer went by very very quickly, my love for archery kept growing day by day, but October came by and fortunately I got accepted into University.
Getting a flat together with my best buddies wasn't that difficult, we had some relatives of ours looking for a rented flat for a few weeks before we went to the capital (in my country the biggest and the best University is in the public University of Prishtina). We got the flat, sorted our rooms and patiently waited for the lectures to begin.
The beginning of the lecures:
The lectures on my departments were given by some very good professors and I immediately started to enjoy some of them.
Old English Literature was becoming one of my favorites, the lessons were interesting and they were presented in a good way. The course was created in such a way that we would get the 'theory' first about when some of these amazing works were written, by whom, why it was written, etc. After that we would get a chance to read some works, novels, or whatever we had and then analyze them, we did some translations as well which was fun too.
Later we started with grammar which never was my best side, however, we had to do it and I tried to follow all my lectures, cannot say that I followed all of them (grammar ones) but tried to do my best. Literature, though, was where my heart and brain felt at it best. I still feel the same, I love literature a lot, so much that it pushed me to write this blog (not the only thing that pushed me to make this decision though).
Learning about the great masters of pen and paper feels amazing, the ideas, the messages and the beautiful narrations these books had in them were a new window to the world which I started seeing differently. That window remains open to my life and it keeps widening everyday, opening my eyes more and more everyday, showing me how little I know and how much there is to learn in the world.
I consider that starting English Language studies was the best thing I did in my life until that time, I can't say that I saw the value of it back then, however, now days I see the fruits of my choice. Being able to read English writers is an amazing feeling and I wish everybody does it.
