The London Paper
At the tube stations each day they give out free papers and yes I mean papers plural. I reckon there are 3 daily ones and maybe 2 weekly magazines. I always find this odd as it must mean nobody buys newspapers anymore? I mean I'm sure it's not exactly highbrow or anything but really these people stand there all day so they must give out hundreds and they are at every station on every line (well every station I have been at). Anyway the reason I bring this up is that my favourite is The London Paper as opposed to the London Lite or the Metro. The London Paper has a section in it called 'Lovestruck'. It's basically a 'If you have seen someone you fancy in London but were too shy to talk to them text us and we will print your message so you can find them and live happily ever after'. I love this idea and quite often sit on the tube watching to see if I can spot people looking at each other and try to remember what they are wearing etc and check the paper the next day to see if I spotted a budding romance.

I must admit that besides people watching I really am starting to hate the tube. Sometimes when I am going to work first thing in the morning we are all so cramped into the carriages it's quite claustrophobic and people are just so rude that they barge right passed you without any pangs of guilt, it's really quite impressive when you get passed the shocking bad manners of it all. I often wonder whether it's rubbing off on me and soon I will be scowling like the rest of them and pushing my way onto the train before old ladies while running to steal the last seat from her too.

I'm also getting really sick of coming home to find my flatmates have been using my kitchen stuff and not cleaning it afterwards. I mean by all means use my things, I really don't mind I brought everything but the kitchen sink so I am the kitchen utensil queen but the least you can do is clean it afterwards. So not only do I have to clean it before I use it but I clean it again and put it away. I know this sounds incredibly petty but I don't think it's asking too much.

Other than that things are just peachy. I'm enjoying the course and learning about how as long as you argue in the right way and support your argument you can be right about anything when it comes to the Law. Now the idea that I can ALWAYS be right has got to be a good thing yes? I think I'm going to like this Law malarky. I have a job in a lovely luxury chocolate shop where they make me try the products as the only way to learn is to try, boy it's a hard life but someone has to do it I guess. It's not long until I'm home for Christmas where my lovely boyfriend is taking me to New York, I get to see everyone and I'm off uni for almost a month. Things are good :)
