Reflections on practice

This past week was difficult because of the snow. Having to face the ice on the way to the department is not an easy task.
Right now, almost finishing the first semester, I have the feeling of going slowly, tripping, like a small child learning how to walk. Everyday the design decisions seem more complex but also more interesting and more consistent.
Everyday adhesion grows, or changes, everyday you find details on the a that you don't like and again, new changes.
It's amazing how much time it's needed to get that a! I wont even mention the s.
As I said it's very cold right now at Reading, especially for people like me that are used to the mild winters of southern Europe. But this weather has some advantages. You get to stay warm at your desk for hours, drawing, reading, and fighting with fontal to get it to do what you want! So, besides the weather, these are good times at Reading, typography runs through our veins, we feel warm and happy, like every Monday when we enter Michael Twyman's class or James Mosley lectures. And this week we will have another visit form our dear teacher Gerard Unger. I hope it will be a cheerful violet week!
