Home.
June 11, 2013
It’s a feeling some of you have probably experienced by now, making the long journey home and just flopping onto the sofa because your parents are going to take care of everything. There are clean bed sheets on your bed, washing up just magically does itself and the best thing? You can run a bath …
Freedom tastes so sweet (until you get sunburn)
June 4, 2013
An hour boating on the lake was celebration enough for the freedom of second year. It wasn’t without its challenges, rowing in a straight line was only the start of our troubles. 1. I actually managed to fall off the rowing seat when the oar came out of its little holding thing… it would have …
MayFest!
May 21, 2013
Now I know you’re probably only reading this because you’ve exhausted all other forms of procrastination and you’re desperately trying to think of things you ‘need’ to do/check/read that are unrelated to whatever topic you are currently supposed to be revising (or you’re one of those very lucky people with no exams and you just …
From Baking to Shooting (How long can you hide from revision?)
May 14, 2013
Sleep is quickly becoming a long forgotten luxury, especially when you forget to turn of the weekend’s 6am alarm and have a more than unwanted wake up call Monday morning. Food has almost joined sleep, not even Ben and Jerry’s tastes as good anymore and as for actually cooking??? You’d think it would be a …
Rugby and Crab Spiders
May 7, 2013
Thanks to this week’s field course write up deadline I am practically dreaming about spiders but this weekend was a bank holiday so I can’t all be work can it now? My break from work came in the form of a rugby game; a rather drawn out whole day to be a little more honest …
Career Decisions
April 30, 2013
Its getting to that time, nearly 2/3 of the way through my degree that I can’t really hide from the future anymore – like it or not, this time next year I’ll be heading out in the real world, I can only put the decisions that entails off for so long. I’ve never really been …
Portugal Field Course
April 24, 2013
So here I am, after a week’s recovery in my own bed, two days waiting for my bag to get back from Lisbon and a cheeky trip to Sandhurst to play netball, I’m finally getting the chance to sit down and write properly about the Portugal Field Course. * * * A week watching crab …
Fancy Dress on a Budget
March 20, 2013
Despite looking at new dresses every single time I go shopping I spent the majority of my nights out in fancy dress as per the student custom. Pre made outfits are a definite no-no for most of these events because to put it quite simply, they’re unimaginative and show you’ve put absolutely no effort except …
To exec or not to exec ?
March 12, 2013
Now that is the question. Well fellow students, its that time of year – forget elections, I have less than a thimble full of interest for them – its time to start thinking about the societies you’re a part of. Do you take the next step and join the exec? I’ve spent the last year …
Laundry: Crime Scene
March 5, 2013
This week the laundry became a crime scene as my toga outfit launched a vicious attack at my Alcatraz fancy dress. The Defence (bright red-orange scarf pictured below) pleads “not guilty” but the evidence provided by The Prosecution in the form of newly dyed pink stripes is pretty concrete. Was it intentional or just plain …
Student life on social
