There is only one way to begin a long journey. And that's with this music:
So anyway, as I may have mentioned, I went to London yesterday. This involved waking up at quarter to five in the morning, an ordeal I hope I need not repeat for a good time to come. There was then a long coach journey down to Whitehall, and then we snuck in to the Palace of Westminster (taking the time to explain what it was to one of my friends who has been studying politics for a good couple of years). We had a very nice young man show us around and tell us about everything and then we had a nice chat with our local MP about all sorts of things.
That was my day in Westminster. Far more interesting was the suggestion made by one of my fellow students on the coach that eventually it will become the norm to have a facebook page created for you when you are born that stays with you for life. Whilst an initially terrifying prospect, on reflection this sounds like, not necessarily a "good" idea, but an idea that will become reality the way that we're heading. The world is changing and if you don't keep up you get left behind and I'd really rather not get stuck in 2011. Not since I think I'm already stuck in 1911
