So it turns out I now go to college with Princess Eugenie, which means there is a constant throng of camera men lurking outside the front gates of Goldsmiths. I saw her in the hallway, she looked lost and lonely, it was all very disappointing for my first royal sighting. College is awesome though, it has long black and white checkerboard tiled hallways and its heaps smaller than Melbourne Uni so it feels a little like being back in high-school. Only everyone is much better dressed. I haven't actually started class but I've met all the people on my course and already been given a reading list which should occupy me for the next eight to ten years.

This week I went to visit my aunt and uncle in the countryside, they live in this beautiful little cottage by a huge lake-I also bonded with the people at my work finally, when I discovered that the German girls all love Scrubs, and we celebrated by going next door to the bar where we traded cupcakes for free drinks all night. I'm a little slow so although we were the only girls in the place it took me about an hour to notice all the soft porn on the walls an realize we were in a gay bar. Check out the art in the background-
I've been exploring my local area and its actually pretty cool, we're in the midst of two big local arts festivals at the moment so there are heaps of gigs and art events going on everywhere. I went roaming round Deptford markets, which are just around the corner, yesterday and got soaking wet but I found a mad fully-functioning Super 8 projector getting rained on and rescued it for six pounds! The only Super 8 film I have though is 'Tarzan and the She-Devil'. Last night we went to 'Nail The Cross', the annual New Cross music festival, which had five different venues and rad music and projections in all the different rooms. Saw These New Puritans, Clinic, Archie Bronson Outfit, and heaps of bands I'd never heard of, and fell in love with a tiny grime singer called Micachu who I tried to bribe into coming home with me with blueberry cupcakes. Now I'm horribly hungover and I haven't even started my summer reading even though term starts tomorrow.
