It seems only appropriate that my final blog post should come on the evening after my graduation! Today, along with my fellow 4th and 3rd year American Studies students (those who did not take the year abroad option) graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies at DeMonfort Hall. It was a shame that […]
Saying Goodbye – AND RESULTS
This is a difficult week as a graduate (oh no not a student anymore…). I am looking for jobs back home in Greater Manchester, I am thinking about packing, though I haven’t started yet, and I am saying goodbye to people I have held dearly for the last four years. Of course in the age […]
Crafting my time away
So, my hopes for applying for a job every day…let’s just say there are not that many jobs out there for this to happen! I have managed to apply for one job back home (lots of hope riding on that one) but now until I go home at the end of term (29th June) and […]

FINAL TERM
Goodness me, this is my LAST EVER term at the University of Leicester. It began on Monday … and funnily enough it finished on Monday too! Well, by that I mean that all of my final lectures were held on Monday and now I have no more lectures to attend, EVER!!! (Unless I decide to […]
There’s something about trains
There’s something about trains that I simply love. A long journey with a good book, a short journey with good music in your ears, the peace and ease of the travel in a comfy seat while sharing it with a carriage full of others without needing to acknowledge it. Watching fields, towns and scenery fly […]
