Review:
I have been reading The Wolf of Wall Street for quite some time due to be very busy and not having anytime to read for pleasure. However, by reading about twenty pages a day - I finally finished it! I will, however, make this quick as I have a lot of work to do!

A Country Bumpkin Trying to Survive in London

The View From My Favourite Spot in Goldsmiths Library
I recently started my Masters at Goldsmiths, University of London. Not only does this mark a new chapter in my educational career but it also means - for the first time ever - I am living away from home. This was a daunting thing in itself but I had to choose the worst place to do it - The Big Smoke!

When I told my friends I was moving to London; they laughed. "Why?! You are such a country bumpkin! You will hate it!" This is true as I absolutely love large fields, grass, grazing cattle and walking my dogs. But needs must. If I can survive in London by myself for a year - I can do anything (hopefully!).
