From many of my previous blogs, you’ll know by now that I’m a member of the university’s theatre society (LUTheatre) – I joined in January, and I’ve loved it. I’ve seen several of the society’s productions: King Lear, Blood Brothers, Not Another Disney Film, R.U.R, and even acted in one myself (The History Boys). […]
Things to Remember When Leaving Your House For the Summer
With my second academic year of university having drawn to a close – and my social one not far behind – my housemates and I have started to think about packing up all our stuff and moving back home for the summer. We’re moving back into the same house at the end of September, […]
