Yesterday was my first official exam here in Pau. 8am on a Saturday, if that’s not student cruelty, I don’t know what is. With the pressure of getting the grades and the sheer amount of content to learn for the courses, it’s easy to feel like you’re drowning under all that revision. To combat […]

If you’re anything like me, the thought of standing up in front of a room full of people and actually speaking makes you want to throw up. Unfortunately for every introverted student out there, presentations are an integral part of most university classes and you’re often graded on them. This means that we have […]

Christmas meals, Christmas drinks, Christmas snacks, Christmas films, the list goes on… For me, December began in an incredibly stressful fashion. 8th December marked the deadline for a politics essay I had been slaving over for weeks.

The Christmas holidays seemed to go far too quickly this year, trying to fit in eating as much as possible, seeing friends and family at home, watching Christmas films and revising for my January exams! I’ve been back in Paris for just over a week after a wonderful 12 days at home and in that […]

Results Day. A noun phrase that is enough to instil fear in even the most laid back student types and today was results day for the School of Modern Languages.

Last week was potentially one of the busiest yet but for many good reasons. As I said in an earlier post, I had my Spanish speaking exam on Monday which I think went as-well as it could have done. It felt relaxed as I was talking to my teacher and went so quickly as it […]

On Thursday I had my last (and first actually, I was one of the lucky ones!) exam. I was pretty happy with how it went as 2 of the 3 questions I answered were topics I felt confident on so fingers crossed when we get our results in around 3 weeks, I will be pleased. […]
