Just an update

Over the weekend, I went to the Camden Markets.  It is made up of a whole bunch of stalls selling clothes, jewelry, food, purses, scarves, and more.  There were lots of arts and crafts things and a bunch of vintage stores.  There is also a small produce market.  On Sunday, I went to the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery.  I had gone to the National Gallery last Thursday with my class, but we didn't see everything.  The National Portrait Gallery had a display on Princess Margaret Rose!  It was cool to see what she looked like through the years since I'm a Margaret Rose too.  Then I sat in Trafalgar Square and did some people watching.  
I'm really enjoying work lately too.  I've started getting assignments for menu layouts, brochures and book bindings.  It's all going pretty well.  I have to get started on my research paper soon too.  I just went to the school library last night for the first time and did some reading for my class, but I should go back and see what sort of typography sources I can find since my paper is all about signage.  I have an appointment with the Mac store today because I have been having problems with my computer.  It shuts itself down for no reason and sometimes it won't even turn on.  Hopefully they will know what is wrong with it, otherwise it will have to be sent out and I won't have a computer for two weeks.  Once it's fixed, I'll get some more pictures online.
This coming weekend, some friends and I are going to Dublin.  I'm excited, but with the current American economy, the dollar is even worse to the Euro than it is to the pound.  This trip might be pretty expensive, but it should be fun.
