The NickBury Set.

I'm becoming aware of three things.

1. I'm the first of my family EVER to go to University. And I'm a bit pissed I've got to fork out nearly £5k in fees and survive with no income. Grants? Don't make me laugh! (I spit on this govt. But the previous one even more!)

2. I've almost finished my Masters even though I've hardly got used to it yet. And...

3. Because of 2. I should document it more. So here are some pics of the view around Birkbeck College, University of London. Including one of the most ridiculous wall plaques I've ever seen...


The pic of the ridiculous plaque is too ridiculously small. Next time perhaps.

But don't you just LOVE George Birkbeck? Go Doc...

Flat out.

I feel really knackered and yet strangely satisfied. I'm at Uni and earning nothing and the last loan I had is about to run out, but I went to lectures today in Russell Square and Gordon Square and was aware of the awesome pedigree surrounding me. On almost every building there are blue plaques. Christina Rossettii lived down the road, Keynes, Virginia Wolfe, Lyton Stracey and the whole Bloomsbury Set lived and worked in the buildings I'm now studying in. It's quite effecting. I see a job for an Associate Producer. It's part-time till August, then full time at the Edinburgh festival, for a play about the Monty Python team. Perfect. I apply with not much hope. x
