MY NAME IS JAMES ALVAREZ

I've had one exam so far, and it wasn't sooo bad. Got another tomorow which I'm very well prepared for, and then one on saturday and then I am free to do all the things that I'll probably forget that I wanted to do! Hmm maybe I should write a list.

1. Send of the final version of my friends music project that I have remastered
2. Learn the 4th inventio on piano by bach
3. Record an hour long psychedlic freakout on drums and guitar
4. Record an electronic album of songs to help insomniacs
5. Get drunk
6. Go bike riding
7. Cook some more interesting dishes than spaghetti and pesto
8. Catch the rats in the back garden and take them far away to the forest. Hopefully they aren't homing rats.
9. Sleep past noon without having a panic attack in the morning from lack of doing work
10. Plan my life for summer, house and a job.
11. Reading (I've got siddhartha by hesse to finish, and the waves by virginia woolf to begin, amongst various personal research)

Talking of jobs, I think I found the ideal one. 16000 a year 4 days on 4 days off as a carer for people with mental health problems. Meets all the necessary criterea for a good job in my eyes:

1. Not a slimy capitalist scumbag job
2. Helps people less fortunate
3. Pays for rent, food and good times
4. Leaves me with enough time spare to enjoy my hobbies

It looks like in 5 months I'll be living the Brighton dream, I cannot wait. Next term is all about the final year project, and I've cleverly loaded it so that I have only 3 lectures a week! Wuhaha.

I feel like things are just about to get amazing, and that I'm going to be set free from this faux student crap where every hour I spend doing something fun is an hour where I should be working etc. Maybe I'll miss it, although I'm certain I'll miss the few good friends I made up here, I won't miss nottingham at all. But these four years I have learnt so much, in this cage, and now I will be free free free to be happy and make music! If any of you out there have a harsh lesson to warn me about life, please keep it to yourself. This optimism for the future has always been at the back of my head, and now its beginning to bloom, I don't want any bubbles burst just yet, as the images I have dragging me through the final months are definitely superseding the potential kicking and screaming. Wow I truly packed the cliches in this post.
