Two weeks more until I can unpack my life

Another two weeks to go of this sub-exisitence of getting a coach everyday from London to Oxford. I would be lying if I said it was not getting me down. Did not go back to Hastings this weekend as I need break from all this travelling. Instead, just wandered aimlessly about London, never quite actually going to see anything. I never went into the Saatchi or the Tate Modern today, despite getting to the front doors… I think I find it hard too look at art when I have not made any in recent weeks. Well this will all soon be sorted when I move to Oxford and into my new studio and house. This week, I went for a pint after work with an artist who is in the same space as me and we had a great chat about football, art and everything and made me feel welcome. I have been finding Oxford a bit impersonal, but then I am only there when I am working and I am usually in a sleep trance trying desperately not to let down my new students. They are a a lively mixed bunch and if only we had some decent space to work in things would be great. There not enough room to swing the proverbial cat.

We are interviewing prospective new students all this week which I know will be tiring. But actually I am looking forward to the change of pace.

Hi Robbie,

I have a theory that things that get you down get you even more down when you're close to the moment when they go away. Like when the end of term is near but that final week or so really knocks the stuffing out of you. Or when winter is nearly over but some more bloody freezing weather comes along. I think part of you is anticipating the relief and another part thinks it should bloody well be here already ('how soon is now?'). Anyway, hope you cope with the last spell of Oxford Tubing and enjoy Oxford when you get there properly. A lot of positive things seem to be happening just now anyway.

B-)
