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 […]

T0 anyone who has travelled home within the past couple of weeks, I salute you. Far from Christmassy, the gale force winds and lashing rain has made any journey that little bit more unpleasant.

Obsessing over: Once again, my dissertation; I have a meeting tomorrow with my dissertation supervisor to chat about the plan for this year.
