So now everyone has their A2 Results and I hope you all got what you wanted. I imagine you will now know what University you are moving on to, or be looking at clearing lists. For most of us, the first year in University accommodation is the first time we have moved out from living with our […]
The Alps!
Exams occurred, term ended, and third year finished. The end of one year leads to the beginning of the next year. Which for me, is the fourth and final. (Boo for the final year and scared at it being the fourth). Now, as I am sure I have mentioned before, I quite like the odd […]
A Levels
A subject I am sure is high in all your minds is tomorrows results day. The best of luck to everyone tomorrow. Don’t forget you can get ahead of the game by checking your UCAS site BEFORE you go to get your results. The Universities will already have either accepted or declined and this will […]
To the Alps and Beyond!
So, fourth year begins on Sunday when I go to the Alps. It’s a 20 credit module, takes two weeks of fieldwork road tripping from France, through Switzerland and Italy before looping back around back to jolly old Leicester again followed by a report write up. The only wasp in the jam is that we […]
Moving out

Traditionally, students have a bad track record with looking after housing so their housing is a bit grubbier, grimier and generally cheaper than that of young professionals.

Leave of Absence and the Absence of Sleep
Hello everybody! We are now well into May so I expect many of you will be busy with your exams and revision. The bad news it doesn’t stop when you get to University I’m afraid. It has been a very busy couple of weeks as I have had two deadlines. My one and only exam […]
The End of third year, Exams, Deadlines and Scary Things
With the last one of my third year modules officially completed (I have just returned for a fortnight field course to Scotland) I have returned to the prospect of fourth year waiting just at the end of my exams. Which is terrifying But the exams have reminded me that everyone from SATS to GCSE to […]
Ach Aye!
So Easter weekend is done and the family duly visited which was a nice break from flatmates and University (however much you might love them). But now its back to Leicester to get hard to work on my dissertation once more. I don’t have too much time to work on that though as in 2 […]
