Brexit

Posted by Daisy in Biological Sciences on June 24, 2016

I am in disbelief at the results of the EU referendum, with the UK voting to leave the EU. I was firmly on the Remain side, seeing this as the sensible decision. From a scientific point of view, I know that science benefits from collaborations in research and I am nervous to see the effect […]

Come Dine with Me

Posted by Daisy in Biological Sciences on May 2, 2016

As you can imagine, at present life isn’t the most interesting. The highlight of my day is normally packing up my work after a morning at the library and heading to the gym for a change of scenery, before heading back to the library for an afternoon session. My housemates and I wanted to give […]

Summer Social Weekender

Posted by Daisy in Biological Sciences on April 24, 2016

The first is the Friday night Shabang at the O2 academy, a typical Friday night for Leicester students. The second takes place on the Saturday daytime and […]

A trip to the King Power Stadium

Posted by Daisy in Biological Sciences on January 21, 2016

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I generated a mini bucket list at the beginning of the academic year with some things I wanted to do whilst still in Leicester. Last night, I ticked off one of those things by going to a Foxes game. With my Dad and brother being massive Forest fans, […]

A trip to Birmingham

Posted by Daisy in Biological Sciences on December 17, 2015

Last weekend my boyfriend and I decided to take a trip to the Birmingham Christmas Markets. After spending a lot of the Christmas season last year in Germany, I managed to visit quite a few of the markets, including Frankfurt, Strasbourg and of course, Heidelberg. Living in Heidelberg did mean that I started to get […]

Reunited in London

Posted by Daisy in Biological Sciences on November 23, 2015

During my time in Germany, I met some of the most interesting and brilliant friends that I have. Spending a year together in the beautiful city of Heidelberg, they kept my feelings of homesickness at bay and made my year abroad full of fabulous days making exceptional memories. The downside of being back at home is […]

Student gym membership

Posted by Daisy in Biological Sciences on September 12, 2015

One of the things I really missed during my year abroad was the university gym. This sounds really sad I know, but I realised how much I took my gym membership for granted in my first two years at uni. I went to the gym more for a catch up with my friends rather than […]

#Britainneedsapayrise

Posted by Chris in Biological Sciences on October 19, 2014

Hello Blogosphere, So far, I’ve been thrown head first into dissertation research, which I really enjoy, but which takes up almost all my time. Anyway, yesterday, me and a few hundred thousand friends went to London, to protest and rally for a better standard of working in Britain. We marched from Waterloo, all around to […]

Farmer’s market on campus

Posted by maryam in Biological Sciences on February 28, 2014

I really enjoy the farmer’s markets that set up stalls on campus around once a year selling locally grown food such as fresh fruit, vegetables and homemade cakes although I am slightly averse to the pork pies and other meat dishes for that matter! I usually miss the notice that the market will be on […]

Bendy Buses and Blank Memories

Posted by maryam in Biological Sciences on December 4, 2011

I love walking, jogging, running and everything in between. Basically, I enjoy any form of physical movement which involves the feeling of brisk fresh air (well as fresh as air can be in a city) on my face as other people go on busily with their lives around me. As I am currently living at […]
