Subscribe to Owen's postsLeicester: How it stacks up, Part I
So, as promised last time, today’s post will be devoted to comparing Leicester to some of the other universities you may be considering (generally, I’m not going to do Leicester vs every specific institution offering similar grades!). I’ll mention Law, but will largely stick to more general things. Also, I apologise if I come across as presenting […]
It’s all snowver!
Today I finished with my exams and essays so am now free to enjoy all that Leicester has to offer until the start of the next semester in a week’s time. And right now that is snow, and lots of it! I realise that there’s snow everywhere, but still it’s exciting and as a bonus […]
New Year!
Happy New Year! We have survive the Mayan apocalypse, the looming fiscal cliff of doom, enough food to give us many a heart attack and we are greeted with….exams and essays! That’s right at some point a a kind hearted soul somewhere high up in education decided that young people simply weren’t happy with exams ruining a […]
End of term!
Sorry, realised I’ve not posted in ages! I’ve had a big presentation for French which hopefully went OK, though it’s unfortunate that by 4th year part of you thinks ‘You can probably now waffle in French…’, doubt that’s what my lecturers intended the previous 3 years of education to culminate in! I also had the […]
House
First of all, apologies to fans of Hugh Laurie’s acerbic Doctor, this is about the place where you live. When you get to this stage of the year it’s time to start thinking about where you live next year. Sadly, I’m not as I won’t be in Leicester after July (Waaaahhh) but thought I’d give […]
General stuff I’ve done…
This week I thought I’d do similarly to Harriet and just give a bit of detail about general things I’ve been doing this week. First of all we had the law fair, which I went around with a housemate who is currently an LLM student here and chatted to various trainees. This is a great […]
Sheffield-City of Dreams
Firstly-Hi again! Me and Harriet are doing very similar stuff now we’re in the same year so thought I’d blog on something a bit different before doing a ‘Coming back to Leicester’ post next week. This weekend was the BUCS Nationals Swimming championships and, for the fifth time now in my uni career, I jumped into an […]
Life=(almost unnervingly) sorted
I didn’t post last week as I was preparing for a Training Contract interview and then absolutely wetting myself on Friday waiting for the outcome. Anyway, I got it!!! It still hasn’t sunk in that I’ve got the famously elusive training contract sorted and it’s at my favourite firm of all those I looked into! […]
Coming to Leicester! Part 1
I’m afraid this post won’t be even 1/100th as interesting as Harriet’s in HK, which looks a-ma-zing, but I will try! There has been a Results Day for many of you since I last posted so many of you will now be preparing to come to Leicester! Congratulations on both winning the lottery of life […]
Olawmpics!
Right, after that horribly contrived pun to make this seem vaguely related to Law I’m basically going to bang on about the Olympics. Next week I’ll try and do something about Results Day, Clearing and all that sort of stuff. Until then let Olympian frivolity reign! I’m afraid I am an unashamed fan of the […]
