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 […]

A couple of weeks ago my Mum celebrated her 50th birthday. Anyone who knows my lovely Mum will agree that she doesn’t look 50 at all! She spent her birthday on a cruise around the Bahamas having the time of her life, whilst I was spending my days in the library (life is cruel). […]

Thankfully, today is a day that only happens once every four years- February the 29th! As a final year student, the leap year came at a good time. I know that sounds ridiculous as it’s only an extra day, but I’m viewing that extra day as a head start on coursework. Now, onto March… […]

This title is written in a literal sense; I have physically been dancing towards by coursework deadlines. Well, sort of. Deadlines seem to be growing ever closer and I am spending any spare time that I have in the library. Part of my busy schedule is due to Tuesday and Thursday night’s being spent in […]

On the 4th of February it was World Cancer Day. Now, it goes without saying that all of us have been affected by cancer in some way, especially with it being one of the leading causes of deaths in the UK, after heart disease. It is a devastating disease, but as we learn more about […]

After surviving an extremely busy first week of semester two, I decided to spend my Friday evening (after a decent stint in the library) curled up in bed watching a film. Whilst everyone was out enjoying refreshers (the post-January exams version of freshers), I was in the midst of probably the most wild Friday night […]

I am writing this from the comfort of my bed, wearing four layers of clothing and wrapped in my duvet. Unfortunately for me, tonsillitis has hit again. It has come at a pretty bad time as I have an essay due on Wednesday and have spent the majority of the past 5 days sleeping/ taking […]
