Pi in the sky
On March 14th (Or 3.14 to all the American readers) every year, Mathematicians take some time away from their high paced, all action lives to celebrate Mathematics and the wonder that is Pi. And what better day of the year to try and encourage any budding Maths lovers to pursue their passion into University. […]
Master and Remainder (Part 2)
And we’re back! It’s been a while since my last post but it’s a new year, so it’s a new chance for me to promise a lot and deliver a little. So after part 1, I was bunkered down in the library. I have occasionally managed to surface, where I’ve realised the challenges a […]
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 […]
And Just Like That…
Exams are officially over for me, and just like that I’ve realised that I only have 11 weeks left at Leicester. Like all the others, this semester is going to fly by, and in a few months time it’ll be graduation time (say whaaa)! I think I’m in good standing with my degree classification right […]
1 Down, 3 To Go
Exams are officially here! How was everyone’s first day of exams? Today was my hardest exam and the one I was most worried about. But despite my worries, I think I did okay in it. That is to say, I think I got at least 40% (but let’s not be toooo confident, shall we?). The […]
