End Of Exams
Hey y’all. I hate to rub it in and all that but my exams have finished! When I say exams I only mean one. One, three hour exam about Screen Gothic. I never thought I’d be studying something so obscure at the beginning of my degree but there we go. Alas, it doesn’t really feel […]
Return Of The Eagles
Hey y’all. It’s the beginning of a new intramural football season on Sunday and I for one cannot wait for it. We were meant to play The Humanities Derby on Sunday (American Studies Vs History) but it was postponed because of bad weather. It’s still amazing how snow and frost still brings our society to a […]
Even More Revision
Hey y’all. I find myself knee deep in revision and essay writing so I haven’t really got that much to share with you. I’m not sure what I prefer really… An exam or an essay….This essay about protests in African-American Civil Rights hasn’t actually been that bad but I am not looking forward to next […]
Soccer Eagles
Hey y’all. So here I am in my new house and what a step up it is from last year. A fridge that isn’t sticky and a set of hobs that actually work are just a couple of the improvements. Just a little shameless plug this week from ‘The American Studies Soccer Eagles’. We’re the […]
The Winding Down of Summer
Hey y’all, The summer holidays are slowly coming to a close as the next academic is on our doorstep. I can imagine a lot of people are in the same situation as me as I impatiently wait for latest student loan installment. I’ve had 2 years experience being a stingy student living in both halls […]
‘The Butler’
Hey y’all Over the weekend I went to Bestival on the Isle Of Wight with some of my University house mates. It’s a music festival that showcases pretty much every genre of music. Outkast played on the Friday evening and I’m still in awe at their performance. After five days of sleeping in a leaking […]
Sound Mate
Hey y’all! First of all I’d like to congratulate all of you that have got into Leicester and kudos for those of you who have chosen to do American Studies. You’ve made the right choice! Last week I went to see Stornoway at the Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth. They’re like an indie folk band that […]
The Semi-Nomadic Life of University
Throughout university I have lived in 5 different houses (including my original house, which I now don’t know what to call – home? Home home? Parent’s house?) Each one has had its merits and its definite drawbacks: 1. Pre-University house – living with my parents. I think everyone has the same feeling at 17/18 when […]
American Invasion
In honour (or should I say honor) of Spring Break, and to mark the one year anniversary of our grand roadtrip around the west coast of the US, my good friends came over to visit. I met Devon first, through my study abroad blog I had started before leaving for Arizona, and I’m very glad […]
Being social in actual real life
I hope everyone’s past couple of weeks have been fabulous; mine has been a rather cracking, albeit busy fortnight. Not busy in the sense that I had actual grown-up or formal commitments, but the nicer variety of busy that meant instead of casually facebook stalking people I went to school with (friendly, un-prosecutable stalking) I […]
