LADIES AND GENTLEMAN! It is time, for the one time a week event that you’re actually used to by now. The Super blog XL. Please take your seats, grab your snacks and sit back and enjoy the show!

The Emergence and Varsity
January 28, 2014
Just give me a second. That’s it, was just shaking off the rustiness! It’s been nearly 4 weeks since I last blogged. I can only apologise and put all the blame on exams. Between the last blog and this one I have been through the exam equivalent of the 5 stages of grief. Denial Yeah …
A Festive End
January 7, 2014
The last time I blogged there were many festivities to be celebrated and now I bring you a blog about those festivities as the other events on the horizon exams don’t bare thinking about. Christmas was as ever, lovely and I filled up on lots of food and spent great time with family. I couldn’t help but feel …

The Plot Thickens

The first, of what I hope will be many, Cluedo Nights occurred on Thursday. I promised you something interesting would be in this weeks blog, didn’t I? So who did it, with what and where? Mrs. White, Dagger in the Library and Colonel Mustard, Revolver in the Ballroom. To be honest with you I didn’t get the answer …
Birthday Bonanzas
November 12, 2013
Mid-November is nearly here and with it comes the midpoint of the term and time for a quick reflection! I remember writing in first year about how I felt time was flying and then the next week talking about how I felt I’d been away from home for ages and the term was so long. As a …
The Ironing
November 5, 2013
It sounds like a bad horror movie title and perhaps that is a good way to describe the events that unfolded last Monday. On that hideously cold, I still can’t get over how cold it was, fateful night, the ‘Ironing’ happened. Let me recount to you, in centralised italics what happened. So sit back and carry on reading. …
