Leicester 101

Welcome everyone to the first of (hopefully) many blog posts! Firstly let’s give a big hand to last year’s blogger Lois for doing a great job for the department and we wish her the best of luck as she begins studying her MSc in France. Now, there’s a little bio at the bottom of the page if you want to know a little about me but there’s nothing better than getting to know more about someone on the internet like an over-produced, done to death Mastermind-style Q and A.

Name: Luke
Occupation: Just about a student
Specialist Subject: Erm…Me

-Favourite thing about Leicester
Well I love the people but I enjoy the fact that you can walk just about everywhere…good start
-Least favourite thing about Leicester
I’m Northern so it has to be the obligatory “price of beer”….correct
-Why study Maths
I’m a big fan of numbers and I can draw a mean bell curve…right again
-Football team you support
Yep it’s still Everton…of course
-Favourite place in Leicester
Apart from my bed, I’ll go for Belgrave Road during Diwali or the King Power for a game under the lights, it’s pretty special…I’ll give you that
-Comfort food and TV show
Ice Cream and The Office? Nope, both Mash
-Go to 90’s rap group and fictional martial arts school?
Really?! Let’s go with NWA and Shaolin Dragon maybe? Close, again both Wu-Tang Clan
-Finally, and I’ve started so I’ll finish, why become a blogger
I’d like to think I’ve learnt a lot over the last 4 years so if I can make one person feel a bit better about studying at Leicester, then it’s been worth it…good answer

So I hope I’ve convinced some of you to check out my next couple of posts, but either way I encourage you to go and read a few other blogs as I’m sure they’ll definitely be worth it. Feel free to drop me a line anytime if you’ve got any questions or comments but otherwise I’ll speak to you guys later!
