To everyone that reads this.....

You.

I will be getting internet in my room tomorrow hopefully. I just registered at slade today and have to do the big UCL one tomorrow which will take a while.

The heads of the school at slade all ahte this one guy who is the head of painting. It was weird because they were arguing in our orientation. Im hopeing that phyllida the head of sculpture isnt that bad. Turns out that im the only one doing exchange in sculpture....... because everyone else that applied was shit! :) or that i was the only one that applied to sculpture but there are a big amount 0f peeps doing painting. I think i've fallen in love with a girl called Hemmi. She is from finland and has the most amazing accent. She has spent a lot of time in Iceland too painting striped on the road. She is studying painting and paints life size horses. Oh she is great. So there is thousands of international students at this school!!! Its great. Jeremy Bentham is a philosopher who had something to do with the school but whenever the heads of philosophy have meetings they wheel in Jeremy Benthams taxidermy body to join in! amazing! Gen you would love this. Im getting a lot of music off peeps aswell so ill have to burn some cd's for everyone. Catered for everyones likes/needs.

There is a girl called Lena who is from Finland as well but she lived in belgium. She has offered me and gen her place to stay when we go which should be fantastic. I also talked to some people from slade today and we are planning on going to octoberfest! Hooray for European beer.....
Yea but the majority of slade exchange people are people that did painting as like a minor degree thing and so a lot of them dont really care too much for art. It shows because you try and talk about someone say....... Damien Hirst and they will be like uhhh who? but Henni is GREAT! great greag great Henni. Infact Henni stole my original accommodation. I got an email about 2 weeks before i came over to london asking if i needed accommodation. These two grisl from sculpture told me i could live there its totally fine and then backed out when Henni emailed them like a week later..... They would prefer a girl staying with them which is fine buuuuuut......... fuck that.

I think ill be doing some Paris trips as well soon although i am running out of money..... fast. I think i will have to take my money for when i go through europe and put it another account somewhere! quite scary how expensive everything is. However i am working at a temporary restaurant or function thing tomorrow night and its 50's house wives and husbands themed! sounds like fun and ill meet lots of cool people there as well.

Had a nice little argument with a couple of americans in my halls. They were republicans and want Sarah Palin to win......... :S I dont want to get into the nitty gritty of it all but the only reason they want her in is because they dont want to pay taxes and have their money go to the government and to other people who "don't deserve/need it". Greedy fuckers. A lot of americans on exchange here. The majority are from america and most of them were underage at home so most of them dont drink.... and dont want to. Its kinda weird.... but hey, peer pressure always works.

anyway we are still friends. Im not burning bridges anywhere. However i heard London Bridge is falling down. Best not head down there......

I think i am in love with one of my teachers as well. Susan Collins...... my replacement Sierra or Schwartz.

Having lots of fun guys however i still wish Sal and Brent would head over. You guys would especially enjoy it. You two should move here! Find an avenue make it happen. Please..... pretty Please.

Oh yea went to a pub today with friends and got the most terrible service in the world. Sal you would have loved it! Shit food as well

Also im thinking of staying for another year. A.k.a differring my 3rd year back home. Just to live and work round europe. Its so beautiful 'ere. They seem to play really good music in most venues. I was just at a seedy pub but they played radiohead and smashing pumpkins, coldplay, pink floyd etc etc. I think msot people here like good music. Except for the gangstas.

Another teen got killed. About the 18th or something this year. I walked past his house accidentally the other day in an outer suburb and there were flowers everywhere. Quite sad but it just goes to show that the younger the gangsta the more homies they smoke....

Damien Hirst just made 111.5 million pounds in auction of his work, "all proceeds go to the artist...... and only the artist". Apparently he was hanging out in soho when his auction was on... I live sort of just above there and im desperately hoping to run into him. Sugar daddeh...

There is a perv looking at very young half naked women on the computer behind me......

Gen.................. our first white christmas ever this year!!!! i was thinking that on our return we have a while australia christmas policy party! you organise it. ill party it.

Only met two toehr aussies here which is great. Dont have to talk bullshit about collingwood for an hour and pretend to know whats going on in the world of footy.

I am going to see Peter Saville give a talk tomorrow. Compliments of Sarah Greig..... thanks Sarah.

Hey Gen if you speak to Naomi Schwartz at all tell her that i saw her exhibition and it was awe inspiring.... no joke it was AMAZING. and tell her i went to the tate and saw a Tuttle work among a lot of others.

Tate modern = fucking brill. Tate Britain = fucking brill.

The Britain had a martin creed work on..... sooo great to see. He went to slade as well. Anyway im having great ideas for work as well. As soon as i start working ill pop some photos up of what im doing on here as well.

Missing y'all.
