I shot a roll of film in Stratford-upon-Avon last week - you know, Shakespeare's birthplace; home of the Globe theatre and the Royal Shakespeare theatre company and so on - and since a) I'm feeling a little pre-emptively nostalgic for England, since I leave for Japan tomorrow evening, and b) I've been known to celebrate Shakespeare's birthday in the past with paper hats and cupcakes (in my defence, I'm an English student... who likes cake), I thought I'd post these now before I get swallowed up in the rush of flights and job orientation and hello, Tokyo.

I'm blogging from a hotel room right now. That sounds super cool... actually it's just like blogging at home except my mum keeps wandering in and out of the bathroom, naked, soaking wet from her shower and searching for a spare towel.

So, it's exactly like blogging at home, then.

A few other things: I graduated yesterday! Everyone else stood around taking attractive photos and looking mature and grown-up... in my case, the billowy robe went to my head and I swooped around campus pretending to be a wizard. Whatever, I'm leaving the country soon. Possibly the sooner the better, at this rate. 

Finally? I'm totally running out of internet-time. It might be hard for  me to get online in the next week or so... maybe more? Maybe less? The uncertainty's a killer. I'd love it if you left me messages telling me what you're up to and - I don't know - where you're going this weekend - or the best thing you did this week. And if nothing else - wish me luck!
