It is nearing the end of term…

…THANK GOD.

I think my serious lack of writing (even for a sporadic blogger like me) has partly been due to the fact that for this project we signed a confidentiality agreement with the Metropolitan Police. So I am totally unsure what I am or am not allowed to discuss, so I’ve avoided it all together. Which is rubbish, because my rants on here are rather theraputic. But there is only two weeks until the end of term, and I only have, oh about the whole project to do. Plus a cultural studies essay on feminist arguements on pornography (very very interesting but I’m not going to be able to give it the attention I would like as there is just too much to do).

But for a little update, I was on tv the other week. Rather exciting, even if it was mortifying to watch. I was on the BBC London News when they did a piece on the Metropolitan Police collaboration, and they even showed a little of my work. Exciting stuff.

I had an interview with Mulberry for a work placement and got it. Which I am ridiculously excited about. That will start next January for 6 months, I will be working with the production team overseeing the clothing from design until it reaches the stores.
So now I just need to find a placement from July until January. I’ve done it the wrong way round rather. Its my friends fault, Mulberry liked us both so they took on both of us, her from July to December and me from January until June, she happened to get the first which means she doesn’t have to worry about organising another placement yet. Whereas I do. As there isn’t very long to go until it starts.

In other news my mother’s boutique in Windsor was ram raided this week. Which is madness. Luckily they didn’t manage to break through the metal grill on the door, and left with nothing. But the front of the shop is very damaged and some poor person’s car was stolen and trashed in the process. My ma is in France and got a phone call at about two o’clock in the morning to inform her, but of course she was totally powerless to do anything and had to hope that the police could get hold of her business partner to go and sort it out.

I went to see Hadouken! last night at Koko in Camden as part of the NME Awards tour. They were supported by Cut Copy who were suprisingly good, Ali Love who was a complete idiot and David E Sugar who w missed. Hadouken! were very very good and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, dancing away. Although we were pretty much the oldest people there (I have never seen such an empty bar at a gig), and I am incredibly bruised today.
Particularly my nose, for some reason.
