cutting school to enjoy the sun
After only one lecture today I had had enough. I couldn’t take any more and I simply took off. I called the hairdresser’s to arrange having my hair cut so I left Uni and went down to the beach since I had about an hour to kill. The weather was incredible and since I hadn’t been out in more than a week I decided to walk around. As part of my New Year’s Resolution, I now carry my camera with me every day. The point of this is that I can now use it more often and take pictures whenever I get the chance or come across something pretty.
Since it was sunny and everyone was out enjoying the sun I made it my mission to take snaps of random people and stuff around Brighton. I set my camera to Auto because I didn’t want to think of technical stuff, put my headphones on and turned up the volume on my mp3 player to as high as it went.
This outing really helped me clear my head and my stress levels are going down with every day that passes. Of course I expect the stress to come back once the next deadline approaches.
I have added some of the photos below but you can find all of them on my flickr photoset, a sunny day around Brighton.
PS: The haircut is awesome! I don’t look like a hobo any more!

Commented on April 11th, 2008 at 12:34 amI loved your pictures. It looks so pretty and clean there. I so want to go there now.
We all gathered around and puzzled about the “sand” on your beach. Want to send us some for closer inspection?
Commented on April 11th, 2008 at 3:16 amI totally want to go to your school! Looks like you had an amazing day and I’m so jealous!!! Great pictures.

You should totally do it. Taking pictures on a daily basis is great, even if it’s just one photo a day!
daniel :: Brighton is a great place to visit and many celebrities keep houses here too for the summer days. You might even catch Fatboy Slim in the supermarket (he’s a Brighton resident).
Melanie :: Unfortunately the Brighton beach has no sand. There are tons of pebbles though which don’t get in your food when you have a picnic at the beach! I’d send you some but we’re not allowed to remove them, they’re the property of the council. Have you heard of a more ridiculous thing? Come over and you can see for yourself!
There is a rumour (which after some research I found to be false) that the pebbles were brought from France to form the Brighton beach.
Lisa :: You want to go to Brighton University? I don’t blame you! Although it’s not one of the best Universities around. University of Sussex (which is like 10 minutes away from the University of Brighton) is far better and has the prettiest campus ever! But I am not allowed to say this, Brighton Uni students have a rivalry with Sussex Uni students.
There’s nothing wrong with cutting class every now and then to take a mental health moment. When I was in school, I’d just cut to hang out in the computer labs. What a waste
Great photos, by the way. Glad to hear you de-stressed a bit.
