After the end of term, on Saturday, I went to the German Christmas Market in Birmingham. The market is along New Street and in Victoria Square, which is all very close to Birmingham New Street Station if you are getting the train from Leicester for the day (I got an open off peak return for […]

Today is the final day of my penultimate semester and I thought I’d use this post to look back over the last three or so months! This term has been the hardest so far in my degree, it was a big change to get used to having to fit project research in the lab […]

So it’s not long been bonfire night and for me that signals the start of the festive period, which is without a doubt my favourite time of year! To make it even better this year I don’t have January exams, so although I will have uni work to be keep on top of (that dissertation […]

That’s what I seem to have been doing for the whole Christmas holidays so far! I don’t like revising at the best of times (who does?) but I have a particularly strong dislike for it during the festive period. There are so many things I’d rather be doing but unfortunately both of my exams are […]

It’s the end of term, I finished last Wednesday (lucky me I know!) but I’m not going home until the end of this week because let’s be honest all the best bits of term happen at the end! This week I have been on more nights out than I went to in freshers this year […]

Happy Christmas Eve everyone! I hope you are all resting well. Although I can’t imagine this is the most exciting topic considering that it is the peak of the holidays, I was writing up some lectures today and could not get this idea out of my head. When inspiration strikes, you follow it! […]

Receiving emails from various people at university reminding me of the endless list of things I have to do, alongside a warm reminder to ‘remember to take a break’ seems strange and contradictory. After all, if I was to really power through all the things on my to-do list in the holiday period, then […]

We’re nearing the end of November, can you believe it? I know that I always seem to start my posts with something similar, but it genuinely continues to baffle me how quickly time seems to be flying. Relevantly, I’m aware that I’ve been treating this blog with some fun academic tidbits, so today I […]

For some unknown reason, Christmas this year just didn’t feel like Christmas. I have no idea why, maybe it was the mild weather, or because last year Germany was just ridiculously OTT about Christmas. I thought it was just me being a Grinch but actually most of my family and friends said the same thing. […]

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 […]
