So far my summer has been fairly quiet and so it was a bit of a shock for me last week as I spent most of the hours of my days helping out with the IScience summer school. I decided a while back that I was going to volunteer as I had helped out last […]

Last week was the scary week in which the pass lists for the year go up. This normally entails a board in our Physics building foyer where papers with lists of student numbers go up. On the results day you head in to Uni and nervously sidle up to the board and search furiously for […]

It has been over a week now since my final exams and I am still finding myself a bit confused at not having to be back in Uni until October! I am not entirely sure what to do with myself with all my extra free time. . . Somehow though I have still been pretty […]

One of the things I love about IScience is the variety of different types of assignments we have to hand in (in IScience these are called deliverables by the way, just so you are in the know :)) rather than just the typical reports/essays, although there are a number of those too. At the end […]

In a typical IScience week, I normally attend a four hour lab session every Wednesday morning. Our lab sessions vary between physics, biology, chemistry and geology labs so there can be a lot of variation from one week to another. Most commonly we are in the physics labs doing various different physics, computing and sometimes […]

As the end of the year draws closer things are getting pretty busy for me as an IScience student. Our final module fits rather compactly into this last term and so I am pretty hard at work (despite the distracting nature of the beautiful sunshine!). It was therefore a nice surprise last week when my […]

Today I got a chance to put on my walking boots, hard hat and hand lens and head off on a field trip. After a day of looking at lots of rocks and undertaking a fair amount of fossil hunting, I am now back home with a nice cup of tea. Sadly we are not […]

So, as the end of the Easter holiday approaches (and deadlines and exams start to loom!!! :() I have started to realised just how much my Uni holidays have changed since first year. In my first year at Uni I stayed in halls in the Oadby student village (Woohoo GMS halls! :)) along with many […]

Recently the University has purchased new sports facilities on campus including a new gym, sports hall and swimming pool. I have always enjoyed swimming and so was sad to know that the University didn’t have their own pool. It wasn’t to much of a problem, there has been always been a public pool that was […]

Like many of my fellow students, I am often prone to procrastination. Especially when a deadline starts getting close. For me, it is most commonly the internet that I spend the most time distracting myself with. It is always just so close at hand and there is always something I find that appears to be […]
