So here it is, my last blog post! Firstly I need to answer the question: what next? I have my degree under my belt but what to do with it? I mentioned in an earlier post that I had a place on the Cancer Cell and Molecular Biology MSc, remaining at Leicester. So this is […]

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 […]

After a very busy time getting all of my deadlines in for the end of term, I allowed myself to enjoy the long Easter weekend, staying away from the library and enjoying myself. It was bliss! One new thing that I did was visit Thornton Reservoir, to watch the sunset over the water. As […]
