The past month and a half was covered in a haze of word
documents and film clips. In the past two weeks, I have submitted an 8,000 word
case study, two 2,000 word essays, two dance DVDs, and six reports. Throughout
this time, my flatmate, Rachel, graciously took on the role of guardian angel
of sanity keeping – frequently taking breaks with me, going for walks, coffee, or
food shopping.
One weekend, when I was going particularly stir crazy, we
had an impromptu “staycation”, venturing around my neighborhood in New
Cross. We had coffee on the porch, at Goldsmiths
Garden Café Bar. We hit up the dinner deal for under 5 quid at Thailand. We chatted over lattes at Chinwag and La Boulangerie, and had a traditional English breakfast at Goldsmiths Café, before one of my 8 hour stints in the library. I had Indian spiced pumpkin and delicious mango lassi at Nouvelle Spice, and nachos on Cinco de Mayo at The Old Haberdasher.

The best part of going out in New Cross is how affordable
everywhere is compared to other parts of London. We filled our tummies with
fresh food, sharing and sampling different dishes each place we went. We both
agreed that our favorite café is The London Particular. It has the most flavorful
food and competes with Chinwag for best coffee.
