Time to Say Goodbye
After 11 months and 34 posts (including this one), the time has come for me to say goodbye. The past couple of months have felt a little weird. I submitted my dissertation on the 15th May. That was the point where many students felt that they had come to the end of […]
Attend the Festival of Careers at the University of Leicester!
This morning I attended the Careers Fairs at the University of Leicester. I was not there specifically to meet any exhibitors, but will do so later this week. I merely wanted to have a look around.
