This weeks issue of The Rabbit came out today [As long as we're talking generally, I know its after 12, I know, shut up!] and its got to be said that the front page looked absolutely brilliant. I flick through the pages casually, reading that which picks up my interest from scanning over, and when I finally get to page 10...

Well it's a sad state of affairs. Not only does one of my pages turn out really pixellated and quite nasty, but strangely it was the one that seemed absolutely crystal clear when Zak our lovely designer printed them on a test run, compared to the other page which was a bit blurry. I don't know how that happened, but I guess it must be karmic balance for being annoying maybe, I don't know. Aside from them, the rest of the paper looks great and I was actually there for a good chunk of time during the design process, offering no input of course, but I did design my own this time around, a fact I am not ashamed of bragging about, and it did save Zak from about an hours work [She was kind and exaggeratedly equated it to 2 hours work :)] Lets try talking in shorter sentences from now on.

I have taken this opportunity in the past to present great finds from the internet, and now I present to you another one. It's a photographic based competition for those who would be willing to travel to either Glasgow or Cardiff on the 16th June. Sounds generic, a little boring possibly? Well here's the twist. Everyone who enters gets given a cheap disposable camera with twelve exposures on the film. Then, when the competition begins, you are given a list of twelve different topics. With these, you must produce in the same order as they are listed, a photo representing in as abstract or concrete way as you like the topics given. And to make it slightly more interesting, you have only 12 hours to hand in your completed film roll. Sound like fun? This is for all those manic creative people out there, and those who like me are not afraid to try something new and exciting and love the idea. I'll be going to Cardiff, does anybody fancy joining me for the day? Anyway, here is the link: PhotoMarathon

I am two full days away from beginning my final term here with a lot of you. I will be hopefully travelling across the pond to the USA for my next academic year, while those of you who have brought me joy and companionship and great company these past two years will be sticking around to finish up their degrees. I will miss every goddamn one of you, and you won't even realise it. I keep joking around like it's no big deal and you'll all forget me by the first term, but I seriously hope you don't. If I can't leave this country in the summer without having your continued and lasting friendship [And you should know who you are :)] then I can't truly be happy over there. I don't say it enough to you all, but you make me extremely happy to be around here and even though Shaun beat me to being the sappy git this month, I concur with everything he said; you're all bastards but I love you! [Not verbatim]

Now where's that torrential rainstorm we are due?
