Off to Munich!
Wednesday I did a photoshoot as a Student Ambassador with some other people where we had to swan around the campuses standing about on stairs and looking over each others' shoulders at books and stuff, so look out for me in future KCL promotional material :-P!
However, in the name of wearing brightly coloured tops I wore these really loud blue and orange numbers from H&M that I'd bought for £3 and never worn yet, and they bloody gave me a rash all over my torso! Mark said it was like someone had scratched me in swirly patterns all over my back! Bloody weird. I'm really healthy, I never usually have allergic reactions to things. This reinforces my profound hatred and suspicion of any product with the word 'organic' in front of it (screw you 'organic cotton'). I'm a big fan of efficiently made things which do NOT make my skin all red and blotchy for a day. I'll wash them and wear them again and see if it was just because they were new and potentially bearing factory chemicals...
Anyway, I'm going to Munich today, EEEEEP! Very excited to see Corissa (I go to her bearing the Pro Plus she asked for, they don't have it in Germany!) and generally embark on trip #1 of Zoe's awesome summer of travels. I also get to continue with my joyous 'reading for pleasure' escapades on the plane. I'm very pleased because yesterday I finished a short story in French (Sans Nom by Amelie Nothomb), and only needed to look up a few words (I actually did, rather than just leaving it and letting my shrunken vocabulary remain so). I'm building up to one day getting maximum pretentiousness points by reading Proust in the original language, hee hee. I also impulse bought some Virginia Woolf from a bookshop the other day, on account of I quite like her and it doesn't take a reading list and an exam to make me want to read her writing.
Argh I had so much fear that my degree would put me OFF that kind of thing that I am clinging to the idea that it hasn't in case it wears off or something and I turn into some pleb who only reads Heat magazine and the back of cereal boxes.
Also very excited for Eurovision tomorrow night! I'm very much rooting for Greece. I love Azerbaijan's song still but I caught the semi-final yesterday and their live performance let them down a bit. Turkey's my back-up I guess but it's not as glorious as Sakis Rouvas <3.
