Dances with Medics
That’s right, it’s another corker of a title. Anyway, as a once starry-eyed medic, most of my friends in first year were also on my course, so naturally I’ve spent most of my time in Leicester living with medical students. So I thought I should share my wisdom and findings with the world as I’ve […]
Leicester City – 2016 and all that
In a year that will go down as the answer to every pub quiz question from now on, Leicester City certainly played their part. From Andrea Bocelli singing at the King Power after a first league title, to people actually wanting Chelsea to win a game of football, 2016 will live long in the memory. […]
Leicester: Uncovered
As fun as it might be going to the regular haunt every weekend or even the weekly visits to that same branch of Nandos, why not try to mix things up and see what else Leicester has to offer. So tie up that man bun and put on those fake glasses and let’s shine a light […]
World Mental Health Day
Honestly, I actually had another post planned for today but seeing as it’s World Mental Health day, I thought I should share some of my feelings. To start with, I know for most of you this is just a hashtag that you’ve seen pop up on Facebook and Twitter all day so I won’t start […]
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 […]
The Wait Continues…
Hello! It seems like forever since I made a blog post (and that’s because it has been a while, sorry!). I’ve been busy over the past couple of months studying, writing my dissertation, getting ready to move to France and starting up my own business (more on that in a separate post), which is why […]
I CBA
It’s now officially 3 weeks until I finish my degree, and whilst I can’t wait to finish, this final stretch is proving to be rather difficult. I’m finding myself unmotivated, tired but stressed. Anyone else feeling the same? I’ve previously written about de-motivation so I should probably take my own advice and watch DJ Khaled’s snapchat. But […]
Starting Your Dissertation
This week I started my dissertation. Whilst for others it is worth a large part of their degree, mine is only worth 4.17% but nevertheless, it’s going to take a lot of work and time. My initial experience of writing a dissertation hasn’t been that bad, however like most people, I found it extremely difficult […]
Open Days: What to Ask
This post was inspired by Erika’s great piece detailing How to make the most out of an open day. I’ve been a helper for the Mathematics Open Days this year, so have a little experience about the types of questions prospective students ask. Following on from her first point about not being shy and just asking questions, I […]
Results!
Results in the Maths department are finally out! I’ve been waiting patiently (but nervously) this week for them to be released, as many friends from other departments received them earlier on in the week. From what I’ve heard, many of my friends did well and got pretty good marks. However some didn’t do as […]
