Back to School

Just got a letter from Argos entitled 'Your student essentials checklist'. Top of the list 'Sony 30in HD Ready TV'. Talking to the wrooonnnggg student. Anyways YES I did get my grades on August 18th, and am glad to say I am definitely going to Queen Mary Uni of London in September. I'm satisfied with my grades, but...not what I would call 'happy'... I should be, I'm just hard to please. On the bright side that means I'll be driven to do better in life...so, it's probably a good thing...live in hope. What I'm actually excited about is moving to London, the city I've considered my home for years now - where else has given me so much and asked for so little in return? Or asked, in terms of money, and been so easy to rip off. First Capital Connect, I am proud to say I'm looking at you, you bastards. Was peak times seeing my new Mile End address for the first time, when I'd finally confirmed and accepted my uni accomodation (it's amazing), and it just makes me more smug each time I put it on a new job application. Sadly no pets. Obviously I saw that one coming but couldn't help subconcsiously envisaging that pet snake I've always wanted in a tank neatly tucked in my uni room...Ha, 'neatly'...

With any luck I'll a) pass my driving test soon. b) get my arse back to poetry slam soon. c) have an amazing time in Rome in the outstanding company of mi amiga Kim. Flight booked for the 6th September, we're staying for a week. d) leave Reading, next weekend, with my life and all personal belongings.

And that's where it's at, follks.

Now Listening To:

Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks. Now, all of last week, probably all of next week. Possibly for ever. ALSO, Pumped Up Kicks, Chrome Canyon Remix. Total monging out on your couch anthem, if you can have anthems for monging out on your couch.

Lady Gaga - Born This Way (the album). This is...really good. I am impressed as always. Must hear: Bad Kids, You & I, Government Hooker, the singles.
