Nikki Lunnon Degree Certificate 130711 I graduated on a beautifully sunny (in Leicester I know!) Thursday 11th July at 11am. I was pleasantly surprised by how fast the hour and a half ceremony went, which was helped along by Comedian Jonathan Culshaw who did a mini impressionist set for us after he was presented with […]
My First Job Application!
I have finally applied to my first graduate scheme. I’ve been looking from the end of the term in seriousness for available jobs and graduate schemes that appeal to me, and I found my first one the other day, that was still open for application! It’s with the Royal Society of Chemistry and seems perfect for me […]
How the Chemical Industry is adapting to keep our world green
I was pretty unimpressed with my Industrial mid-term assignment this week, to make a poster and write an essay on one of two topics. Either: 1. Discuss whether the chemical industry can be considered a green industry, using specific examples where appropriate. 2. Discuss the differences between the pharmaceutical and the petrochemical industry. I honestly […]
No More Dissertation!!
I am handing in my annotated 1st draft, and two copies of my final dissertation today! I’m sure you can tell I’m VERY excited about it! Even though I still have a presentation and a viva to do on the subject, in the next two weeks, the main parts are over now and I can […]
Free night out of comedy
Dave’s Comedy Festival is once again in Leicester! Comedy has had a big boom over the last few years in popularity, and living in Leicester is great for the comedy that comes to it. We have a comedy club in town called “Just the Tonic” which houses comedy all year round, but at this time […]
Surviving the dissertation blues…
I went to see Les Mis with some of my house-mate’s last week, which was really nice. As there are quite a few in my house (8) and we all do different subjects (English, History, Sociology, Criminology, Engineering and of course Chemistry) it’s hard to find times to hang out. I was really excited to seeing […]
A new term… with new deadlines!
First day of the new term of the New Year is here! And although technically my timetable states that I have Mondays off, I have been camped out in the chemistry computer room with fellow BSc third year students as we attempt to write up our project reports (science version of a dissertation). On Monday […]
Revision Antics
One exam down and one to go! That’s all I’ve been thinking since Tuesday, 12.12pm when I got out of my Advanced Organic Chemistry exam. There had already been a bit of drama, what with a mysterious alarm going off (only on the 2nd floor, Charles Wilson building), an hour and a half in, making […]
New Years Resolutions
Loving xkcd.com’s new years cartoon: http://xkcd.com/1154/ I hope everyone has a great new years, doesn’t drink too much and manages to kiss that special someone underneath the mistletoe 🙂 For tonight, January exams, worries, work and stress can be ignored. Enjoy the start of a new year, and make it the best one ever. After […]
It’s Christmas!!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas (I know it’s not quite over yet!) and you have a fun new year, however you plan to celebrate it. My family and I were a little spoilt this year as my brother entertained us at his pub (which was shut on Christmas day, so we took over!). […]
