Across The Pond A Year: February 2007

vivi and i before a flat party (jen did me over)

Well, its basically been a month since I have seriously communicated or even attempted to get back into the internet. The biggest reason for this disappearance was first putting off the inevitable after finishing the last blog, but than i caught a nasty cold that seems to be going around (literally two weeks ago), and i have finally started to dig myself out of this hole.

fotis and philip pig out on fotis' last night

School has started. I am only taking three classes this semester but i am excited about what they will be like. I have a Art history class on females within art (more conceptual than memorising art), a screen printing course, and finishing up a project that i chose for myself in design (creating a few mediums to educate the public on global warming to submit to a competition).
Unfortunately, due to this evil cold, I managed to get laid up on my first days of classes, and got behind in the assignments. Apparently not the end of the world, i just have to wake up for 9am classes once a week now. (oh the pain!)
There are new flatmates, as most of the old ones have moved out. I hope to have pictures of most of them by my next blog. Jennifer from France, Payman from Germany, Febreej (?!) from France, two Indians with shortened names of something like Teg and Pej (i'm bad i know). Vivi, Philip and Pascales are still here, but the feeling on the floor is different.
Last night i met Liz from California, and she may be moving up to our floor because she is having difficulty with getting along on her floor. She is very nice and a super super senior (finally chose her major in year 8 of undergrad).
A few pictures! Before i got sick, i was on a baking binge and made lots of sweets and food. I didnt take pictures of everything, but i have made: coconut macaroons dipped in semi-sweet chocolate, apple crumble muffins, cornbread, triple-threat ginger cookies, snickerdoodles, chocolate potato chocolate chip muffins (request from work), no-knead bread, meyer lemon teacakes, lemon chocolate chip cookies, and last (but definitely not least) i made myself oat bran muffins from a recipe i found on the internet from the cheeseboard.(a disgustingly healthy batch) that i whipped up and have individually wrapped in my cupboard to throw in my bag for something healthier than a bag of crisps. (thank you mum-and no i am not sure if that is sarcasm)
There was alot to catch up on, so i will post the pics and leave it at that! (next-and soon i promise-an update on my job(s)!)
