Even though we have a common room with a dining table in our halls, most people still choose to eat in their rooms. There are a few of us that eat in the same room whilst watching television, but there are others who like to eat in their own rooms at their desks. I think the reason people do not eat in the common room is that we all eat at different times, and dont really want to sit alone in the common room. Also he fact that it is shared by 25 messy students often puts people off!

Today I've been looking at typical student food. Beans on toast is a staple diet for a student really! Its cheap and doesn't taste too bad! And you can also add a bit of luxury by having beans and sausages!

Today I have been looking at the kind of food I used to eat at home. I have made some of my favourite dishes that I miss. This has made me realise how expensive food is!

One of the things I miss from home is fish. We used to eat a lot of fish at home and I loved it. Its such a simple thing to cook, and I never realised that until now!

Sorry there have been a few posts missing, but my USB cable has been broken and I had to find another one from somewhere! Here is the photo from friday though.

I've started looking at the differences between food and my attitude to food at uni, and how its different from when I'm at home. The first thing that came to mind was how and where we eat dinner at uni. At home I was always made to sit around the table with the whole family with no television, whereas here we all sit in my friends bedroom on her bed whilst watching soaps! I also thought about the food I eat here, and the food I used to eat at home. Obviously the food at home was a lot nicer, as it was my parents buying it rather than me! So I've decided to try and make some of my favourite dishes from home and compare them with 'typical student food'. Im looking forward to having some nice food for once!

Here I have just tried another close up photo. I've been ill so have only been eating plain toast all day, which gets very boring! I'm going to see Hugh tomorrow though, whcih should hopefully give me a few ideas and make my blog a bit more interesting for the last week!

I've tried looking at Martin Parr and taking some photos in the style of him, but so far I have not succeeded. I don't like any of the potos I have taken, so I decided to try some more close up shots today. I will try the Martin Parr stuff again tomorrow, see if I have some inspiration then! Will hopefully get some other tips from Hugh tomorrow, but if anyone else has any ideas of how I can make my photos more interesting, they would be greatly appreciated! I have also had a few technical problems with my digital SLR at the moment, so affraid these photos were taken on a phone camera which was not very good qualtity, which is why they are a bit blury.

Here is the remains of my dinner. I have decided that my photos are still a little flat and I need to experiment a bit more. I have been looking at Martin Parr's photographs of food, and have decided that I need to include people and the action of eating into my photographs. Hopefully this should make them more interesting.
