--- The Little Book of Excuses: 101 Hopeless Efforts from Students

ALREADY?

...is my reaction when I realise that I'm halfway through the last week of the Lent Term.

What an awful blogger I am. A whole month without updating. So what have I been up to?

23-24 February was Oxford weekend Part Deux, hosted by Munchlette and featuring Le Manasi! And I will therefore let Manasi write up in her blog about the awesomeness of said weekend, because I am a lazy bastard.

At some point in the past couple of weeks I had the a very unexpected, but not altogether unpleasant, night out in an illegal Latin club underneath Tottenham Court Road, but that is not for this blog.

A couple of Wednesdays ago, I had the great luck to get front row seats to a show by
David Strassman
, the ventriloquist. Now, I love ventriloquists, and I love puppets. And this show BLEW MY MIND. It was HILARIOUS, and FREAKY. Dark humour and puppets! Animatronics! Theatrical lighting and sets! It was brilliant! And I'm so glad I got a chance to catch his show and get just amazing seats.

Now, important things.

I am going to Madrid in less than three days. OMG.

MADRID!!!

I've been practising my Spanish for a month, and I'm pretty good at reading signs and carrying on very basic conversation, but luckily I'm going with my wonderful friend Carla who's lovely enough to have me as a guest in her home, and be my tour guide as well!

I can't WAIT.

Also, Rick Santorum is speaking at the LSE tomorrow. It's been a while since someone's got me well and truly furious, so I'm looking forward to the lecture. :)
