I always look on the bright side.

Basically, i've been in London a little over three weeks now; however, I still consider myself to in fact be in Wolverhapton, and thus any London landmark is miles away. In my head.
For example, if I was asked if I want to go to Greenwich, I would insist on printing out a route planner and taking sammiches despite it being a ten minute walk down the road.
I also think its important for you to know that the house I live in is fun. We have no double glazing, barely any heat (partly as a result of the lack of double glazing), originally the washing machine didn't work and, in a highly bizarre way, the lock on my door collapsed internally.
Luckily Mafia Uncle #1 was there to sort things out.
Unluckily, after removing the door bolt, we then stood inside my room and he insisted on 'demonstrating how it happened', promptly locking us in again.
Fun times.
Things I Have Learnt Since I Started Uni
In other news, i've met three whole new 'celebrities'; Johnny Borrell (talking about his hair to some indie girl with big sunglasses), Zhandra Rhodes (fashion designer) and the lead singer of a band called Rachel Stamp.
There's also a guy who looks so much like Noel Fielding that its quite unnerving.
Do check out my DeviantArt account, i've put a load of new stuff up.

Things I Have Learnt Since I Started Uni
- The first three weeks are irrelevant; you will be taught how to use your email, encouraged to talk to your lecturers, and be reminded that this entire first year of work will only count for 10% of your overall degree.
- Houseparties are just like on TV; at any given time there will be at three illegal activities going on in the kitchen, drugs are to be taken in course groups only and its necessary to eat chips cooked for you by one of the housemates at five in the morning.
- If your lectures aren't until 12, you will end up eating your breakfast after them - any time between 1pm and 4pm.
- Life is an endless series of Between Facebook Moments.
- Despite being in different countries to some of my good friends now, its still relevant to text them and tell them their mum's face is a zombie.
- At Goldsmiths College, Its regulation for all boys to make a lunge towards looking like a member of Razorlight.
- Befrending bar staff WILL get you free drinks (and, in my case, a stalker).
- Its perfectly fine to leave the washing up until you actually run out of cutlery and plates.
- If the above remains true, its also perfectly fine to live off muffins, smoothies, and other non-plate foods.
- One can convince drunken people that the tower visible from the smoking balcony is Big Ben quite easily; it is in fact Deptford Town Hall.
- Never incur the wrath of the angry lecture hall.
- Everyone knows Manoj.
- Everyone is convinced Manoj is gay and will one day have to deal with this.
- If told I have the same last name as a Harry Potter character, most students will talk to me like I *am* the character, and ask me why I shagged a werewolf.
- Its possible to hold entire 'its so nice to see you' conversations with people I swear i've never met
- Most people, even people on my course, people who I have sat next to and had conversations about essays and lab reports with, are convinced i'm an art student.
- The Soup Song is an international communication and bonding tool.
- Every place above London is considered as being 'up north'.
