Thank God for Pizza and Pals

Day 5 of portfolio time at school (well day 3 at school plus the weekend where I didn't actually leave South East London, usually I love a little galavant but it was strictly work vibes this weekend) and I think its fair to say we are all feeling the pressure. All I can think about is Web design, mobile sites, corporate reports, grids, and type hype, not a bad thing but my housemate came in my room to ask who I was speaking to the other night when in actual fact it was just me going ''For fuck sake what typeface is that...this is shit, why can't I find it'' and I have caught myself talking to myself around 5 times today about aligning text in circles.

Anyhow I'm pretty lucky to have some good pals who are keeping me from going crazy, Sarah has been receiving regular calls from me in the bath, on the bus, stressing on my lunch and I even went as far to FaceTime her when I was taking a power nap only to realise I had face timed her boyfriend Pete so that was a treat for him on a sunday afternoon... my face under the covers nearly crying over a typeface. And then we have Liz who gets regular pattern photos saying ''what do you think? tile it out? separate? what do you reckon of the colours'' then usually an end of day text message explaining the ins and outs of how I have got on, luckily Liz is constantly reminding me that I have been so excited for this course all of last year and I need to enjoy this time now!

OG Lizzie Brown is my London playa so probably is the worst off out of them all with having to put up with me, however we went a grabbed some food last night to try and take a break from thinking/doing/talking about work and I ended up definitely eating my stress feelings with a delicious every type of cheese going pizza...check below. 

And of course accompanied by a vino, its not our weekly meetings without one it seems. We also had a little bit of an incident in the restaurant when we both heard Lana Del Ray start playing, it was probably hilarious to watch as when we both realised it came on and we proceeded to throw our arms in the air in a very theatrical manner with all these facial expressions both looking at each other in despair, how dare they play our ''I'm having a shit day so I will listen to Lana and cry'' song in a public place, thank god we were together and ended up cracking up when we both did the same thing else it could've been a crying into the pizza scenario if I was rolling Solo!  Anyway what I am trying to say is Thankyou Ladies, for being super amazing friends and putting up with the typeface grid pattern crazed playa I have become!  

So yes my days are mostly spent with the headphones in at the moment but I have been listening to some absolute bangers in the day, I have to have pretty upbeat music on else I will just fall asleep. I have a nap time playlist on Spotify and by god if I go near that I'm asleep before I've even pressed play.  This week has mainly been grime and garage and then I kind of have a mini rave whilst on Indesign however I made a rookie mistake this morning...I listened to the track below Kahn ft Flowdan- Badman city and for the rest of the day no matter what I was listening to I was remixing it with ''When I roll with my darrrrrgggggss'' but this is such a good vibe for 6.30am on the tube!!
