In 13 days I will be flying to London with my friend D. We are going to take part in a Master's class for Library Science students. The class will be taught at University College London, UCL, by professors of that illustrious institution. It will last two weeks, at the end of which there will be an international two-day conference on e-publishing, the first to be held in London.
I have started this blog as part of my assignment for the course. I will be expected to complete several assignments, one of which is a journal of my experience. What better way to keep a journal of a class on e-publishing than with a blog, I ask?
This is my first ever blog, and my first ever posting.
For those of you who would like to know what e-publishing is, it means "electronic publishing". The reason I am taking this class is that electronic publishing is an important subject to learn about if one is interested in becoming a librarian in an academic library, which is to say the library of a university or college. Since that is what I would like to do, I thought it would be a good idea to take this class.
Also, any opportunity to travel to London must be seized at all costs. I am going to take advantage of this class to get together with some old friends, some long lost, others simply far away. Last summer I took a class in Florence (my home town) and I got to see many of my old friends, but in particular, my friend I. who lives in Berlin, came to Florence to visit me, for a long weekend. This summer, she will be coming to London, also for a long weekend. Am I the luckiest person in the world? I think so.
That's it for one night. More tomorrow. Good night to all, and sweet dreams.

Hi Turtle,
Congratulations on your new blog. If blogging grabs hold of you like it has me, you'll have lots of interesting ideas to share. I don't know if I could have survived here without this outlet.
Will bookmark and keep tabs on you.
love and kisses,
Kloe
PS I had a fabulous time in Florence, even AR behaved himself. XOXO
PPS you should allow anonomous comments, then anyone can write you.
Bon voyage, Turtle, and thanks again for this intro to the world of blogging. I'll be reading your posts and visiting London vicariously. Hip hip, bangers and mash, and all that sort of thing. Love, R.
YEAH!!! I am more than happy to seize the opportunity to live vicarously in London via your blog. You go girl!! You are an inspiration. I love that you are taking an e-publishing class in London. I wish I could be your classmate again this year. I'm sure it will be quite a different experience from Florence last year.
AND YES YOU ARE THE LUCKIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD!
