Intermittent Sunshine.

My first week back at university is almost over! It has been a lovely few days; with last night and Tuesday night being the highlights. Nothing like bursting into song in Wetherspoons, gobbling down battered mushrooms and watching live bands at Open Mic whilst defacing the tealight candles set on the table. Anyone who thinks that English Literature students are placid, peace-loving, flower-bedecked poets should think again. Really we're booze-guzzling, raucous arsonists.

The sun is shining down on Surrey today, although it does have a tendency to keep disappearing behind clouds every now and then. I've tidied my room and am currently listening to bands who will hopefully appear at the proposed Lyrics at the Lake festival. The brainchild of Ollie, our EngLitSoc president, will find out its fate this afternoon at 4pm as Ollie, his VP Sarah and others will meet with uni bosses to find out whether or not they will be given the green light. I for one am crossing my fingers! I am on the panel that will be deciding the line up and putting the bill together. We have the power!

I should really start some revision soon, but saying that I have been very good this week. Revision has been taking place everday, with some sessions more productive than others. Yesterday turned into a Smith/Nouvelle Vague/Neutral Milk hotel- soundtracked procrastination session, with the odd conversation putting the world to rights before arriving at the morbid topic of mortality. Pissheads we may be, but damn are we deep!

I'm happy to say that myself and Dawn Harman will be back on the air tomorrow on Flip The Switch. Listen live (or listen back at your leisure) on 1350 AM or online at www.gu2.co.uk. Am a little nervous as I'm worried I've forgotten how to 'drive the desk', but I'm sure we will be fine! On another musical note (haw haw) myself and Steph Davies will be DJ-ing in the Helyn Rose Bar next Friday night as part of No Wave's Chav Night. Provisional set list includes Modest Mouse and Dresden Dolls.

Now just to get this pesky exam out of the way! Then BBQ's, cheap juants to London and friend-fuelled drinking. Then back home to Thanet at the end of May to a cafe job, festivals and good times. Good times TBA.

I have run out of things to say, although I did read the blog 'Scared of Dying' the other night and was bowled over by the art. Go have a look, it inspired me to draw!

Merry weekend and best wishes xxx
