Goodbye from me too!
You may all have enough of reading about graduation blogs, by the time you have scanned through mine and Eleri’s recent blog post, but alas, it is my final post as well, and what better way to do so, than talking about graduation. Even though we all looked like the equivalent of Severus Snape, and […]
Results are in and what it means
We finally got our degree classifications yesterday, and although the system was frustrating, I found out that I will be graduating with a 2:1! Ecstatic doesn’t even begin to cover it! All the hard work and long hours has boiled down to a good degree, now I just need to find people willing to hire […]
Back from Mainland Europe
I am happy to say that I am back from my German-speaking adventures on the mainland, and that I have had a wonderful time there, blogosphere!! Plus, I am very happy at being able to utilise some of my German Beginner’s skills from the year course I did at University alongside my studies. Asking for […]

Milestone (2) Dutiful Destruction of Dissertation

Although, there was no last minute working on the written content, handing in this important piece of work makes me queasy, but relieved. Now, I know that I have submitted approximately 50% of the work that will […]
An Internship possibility?
Unfortunately, it has been really difficult to find something to do after graduation. Going out into the real world is scary, and the competition for places on graduate schemes etc., is so high. Not to scare all of you, but it is akin to the Hunger Games! I would advise students, even in their first […]
Hobbits and heart disease
Although the title of this blog may sound odd, I got the inspiration for this blog after some research that a University of Leicester Professor carried out recently. Professor Sir Nilesh Samani is the Head of the Department of Cardiovascular Sciences whose recently published work adds evidence to the idea that shorter people are more […]
