So here I am again, at the St Peters House University of Brighton Library, at 8.23pm on a Monday morning. I left exactly the same building just an hour and a half earlier, with the intention to go to Aldi and buy a cucumber before getting the bus home at 7.30pm from The Level. Oh,Continue reading “The UB1 bus is notoriously late”

Expectations and reality of postgraduate study
I’m not here to disappoint you by failing to provide yet another poor quality cartoon drawn by hand on the back side of a reused paper sheet. I don’t know why Squid Game was released when it was released, but I know that its release – and immediate rise to popularity – coincided with meContinue reading “Expectations and reality of postgraduate study”
Quarter life mess!
If quarter life crisis was a thing, is this what it would look like? Or maybe it’s just an academic burnout? I’ve just started my Masters degree (graduate school, for those in America) one month ago and I seem unable to enjoy any, or much, of my studies so far. The weirdest part for meContinue reading “Quarter life mess!”
Visit to University of Sussex campus
Omg, so this was completely incidental. It would’ve been not incidental had I remembered more from second year architectural history lectures. Last Thursday I went to Sussex University campus to sign up at a dental practice, and the architecture there… struck me. I was honestly baffled wondering how anyone could build something so beautiful andContinue reading “Visit to University of Sussex campus”
Visit to Shoreham-by-Sea
Shoreham in West Sussex is one of those funny places that have two hyphens in their name. To distinguish it from other Shorehams, Shoreham in West Sussex is the one by the sea. There’s a Shoreham in Kent, in the Sevenoaks District (I’ve always loved the name Sevenoaks, I don’t know exactly why). So thatContinue reading “Visit to Shoreham-by-Sea”
Visit to Seaford
Last Saturday I took a day trip out to Seaford, a small-ish town to the east of Brighton. It takes half an hour on the train to get there. The weather that day was: cloudless blue sky, just very warm, seriously, not a cloud in sight. I was very warm the whole time and, havingContinue reading “Visit to Seaford”
end of september update
The last day of September deserves an update! I’m in Brighton, it’s 9.30am and when I woke up this morning I turned my head to the right and looked out the window and saw hills and trees and green grass and a cloudy sky. I see this first thing in the morning every day, onlyContinue reading “end of september update”
Rememberx2 the first of September
The first of September has always marked new beginnings within my field of signifiers and signified. The oldest September first I was taught about is the start of World War 2. The most significant September first to me is definitely the one seven years ago, when I boarded a plane from Gdansk to Leeds thatContinue reading “Rememberx2 the first of September”
Endajune Update
There are things I find hard to believe and things that I can believe very easily. For example, it’s very easy for me to believe we exist among ghosts and other beyond-natural creatures. But I struggle to believe that it’s almost the end of June already and that it’s 30 Celsius degrees outside and weContinue reading “Endajune Update”
The coolest place in Warsaw
What you’re about to see is way beyond coolness. It’s a PRL design aficionado’s paradise and just the perfect spot if you want to grab an iced coffee and chill in the shade for a bit. In front of you there’s parked cars and a road, but beyond that there’s the very big Park SkaryszewskiContinue reading “The coolest place in Warsaw”
Greetings from Warsaw; (not) the greatest tragedy
Pardon me for not providing any pictures, but I have a very good excuse. My phone got soaked on Sunday afternoon (maybe it was tired of the sun, everyone wants a cold water dip on a hot summer day) and since 10pm on that day it’s been non-functioning. I took about 4 photos during myContinue reading “Greetings from Warsaw; (not) the greatest tragedy”
Remembering my last week pre-pandemic
It’s been almost a year since all normal activities stopped in Edinburgh because of covid… and I sort of remember the first days when I started cutting out my outings, although I still went out relatively frequently – I went to Tesco once a day to get some fresh vegetables (I remember I was intoContinue reading “Remembering my last week pre-pandemic”
