Treat your teachers nice and find a healthy appetite.

Before I moved to London, I downloaded two albums from a band called "The Milk Carton Kids" which I'd read about on NPR. Both albums are great and I recommend you all download them off their site (for free) here.

My favourite song "Charlie" is off the first album "Retrospect." I read somewhere that the lead singer wrote it about the daughter that he doesn't have. It's one of the sweetest songs I've ever heard and quickly made it into my iTunes most played list when I first moved here 'cause it reminded me of my dad, especially when I was walking too and from uni on my own.


I also listened to Key 103 using my Tune In app. If ever I want to feel like I'm at home, Key 103 does the job. I'm not sure if that's sad? - of course, I only listened to the morning show because after you've listened to Mike and Chelsea then none of the other DJ's really compare.

[I wait for a comment from Piekos about Matt Spokes being a mint DJ soon.] [[Sorry to people who don't really care about my references to Manchester life]]

I like Uni. I seem to feel more settled every week, It's like I wont ever be done meeting new people and making new friends. Socialising feels tedious at times but essential. I don't ever want to have no one to turn to, It's nice having my brothers here and what not but I don't really have that one person (in halls) that I can turn to yet - or at least I did but she's leaving on Tuesday for good.

[I realise I write that in a very selfish way, but that's only because I'm going to miss Naomi a lot. She's been a gooden over the last couple of months and it sucks that she's leaving for everyone. I'm quite sure we'll keep in touch, big up my gal in room 51.]

This is the most I've used square brackets since the age of the "Scene kid" when I was about 13/4 and everyone who was anyone wrote with square brackets.

The past week has been reading week. Admittedly, the little reading I did manage to achieve was not focused towards my studies, but rather 3 short stories we read at a book club some friends from Koi have started. I have, rather than study, been focusing greatly on my road skills - what with my new bike, hanging out with friends and making a dent in my over draft.

- I'm in desperate need of a Job. -

I'm going home next weekend for Blue Coats speech night. It'll be the first time I've gone home since arriving here. I can't wait to see people more than anything. It's rare that I really miss home, it's usually the same times where I start blogging that I feel like I miss home, and when I try and find cinema times and it alway's comes up with the times for Oldham. But it will certainly be nice to hang out in Scouthead.


Anyway.

I have exciting things for my blog coming up:

A new music player (via 8 tracks.)
Some album/film reviews.
Photos, drawings, videos. - This will be once I get a camera.
Blog topics.

It's all a work in progress.

God Bless, L x
