II. Proposition de traduction

Par une nuit enneigée de décembre, seul dans ma chambre (ils n’avaient pas jugé convenable pour moi d’avoir un camarade de chambre, ou peut être qu’aucun profil ne correspondait au mien), je mis mes vêtements et quelques livres dans un sac de toile, attendu que la plupart des lumières du campus soit éteintes, traversé discrètement le couloir, passé l’entrée principale et descendu la colline en laissant derrière moi les dortoirs en briques du XVIIIe siècle et les salles de classe avant de me retrouver devant le grand boulevard, où les grandes résidences étudiantes néoclassiques se succédaient sous des ormes anciens.
