arg it's hot

Since my last post I have changed my mind and am not going to Italy as I am having too much fun in London.

Also, I have decided on my university and excepted an offer to Goldsmiths to do Sociology and Cultural Studies. I'm so so impatient to get that started but as I have learned oh so well, I cannot hurry up time all by myself.

Also (my my it's been a while since I updated) I have left the Alps and am now as I type in a very brightly coloured room in Aix en Provence. I arrived here yesterday evening after a long train journey across the country with a very heavy and without my ipod (idiot that I am). So far it has been a mixture of the bizare, the beautiful and the interesting.

The bizare is the lady with who I am staying. She is a 62 year old French lady whom has lived here most of her life, her family has flown the nest but I know nothing of the husband, she has not mentioned him. She has however mentioned over a salad last night all of her ailments and the experience of bad food poisoning in Tunisia. In fact I know far too much about her bodily functions I'm considering making an 'over share' sign to have with me everytime she opens her mouth. She also spent a great deal of time telling me of the terrible experience she had with the girl that stayed with her last summer. So all in all a good welcome!

The beautiful is of course the city. I still feel that one day I would be most happy living here, even if it were for a limited time. So many attractive women, so many bars, so many fountains and a very relaxed atmosphere. I'm off out again this evening to have dinner with a guy called Chris who is in my class. He seems quite an interesting chap.

The other interesting is the school. They're lovely and friendly and I feel my French is going to come on quite quickly. According to the woman that assessed my oral skills I have to think a little more before I speak as at the moment I'm rather lazy. I have also developed the skill of avoiding the past tense like the plague. We had homework today so Chris and I decided to go to a bar and do it over a drink, it certainly made it much easier.

Anyway, that was my quick catch up post, and I promise to start putting things of slightly more interest up from now on. I just felt I should fill in the gaps a little.
