I have officially finished my degree (providing I pass, of course) and to be honest nearly two weeks later it still hasn’t quite sunk in. It’s a strange feeling not having to go to the library every day and at times I have felt a little lost. But of course it has been lovely; I […]

With three exams complete and just one to go, I can see the end. On Friday morning I will be sitting my final ever undergraduate exam. My exams so far have been a mixed bag- one has gone pretty well, another has gone partially well and another not so great. Having said this, I’ve definitely […]

After Leicester won the Premier League title a few weeks ago, the city has been the liveliest I’ve ever seen it. A couple of weeks ago we had the LCFC parade, with the tour bus ending in Victoria Park. As my student house is across the road, I didn’t have much of a choice in […]

Since coming back from Germany I have definitely felt more motivated and focused on my final year. I’ve put a lot of hard work into all of my pieces of coursework this year, really trying to understand the literature and hoping this shows in my work. I have found that I have more of an […]

After almost a week at home for Easter it’s time for me to head back to Leicester. I’d love to be able to spend more time at home, but unfortunately I don’t seem to be able to get much work done back in Nottingham. I guess this is for the following reasons: 1) The library […]
