“It’s definitely snowing!”
January 30, 2014
With a confirmed sighting of snow in Nottingham this morning, I’ve decided to write about my interactions with snow (and ice) over the past fortnight or so! As you might have guessed from the picture I’ve been skiing recently. Above is the view from the top of the Grand Fond lift, looking towards the resort …
The soundtrack to my revision
January 16, 2014
I am lucky enough to have already finished exams, but I know a lot of people are still revising, so I won’t go on about it, much! During one of my many procrastination sessions I decided I needed some musical motivation and made a list of my 10 favourite remixes of 2013. So here’s that …
My F.A. Cup Away Day
January 9, 2014
On my last day before returning to Nottingham to start the dreaded pre-exam revision frenzy, I ticked something off all football fans’ bucket list, an F.A. Cup away day! As a Reading F.C. fan, I dreamt of glamorous away trips to Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge before the draw was made, unfortunately my trip …
Nottingham – The City of Sport
December 5, 2013
Last Friday I went to watch Nottingham Forest play Reading (who is the team I support), it was a great game finishing 3-2 to Reading. However, I was sitting right in the middle of a block of Forest fans so my celebrations were fairly muted! This trip to the City Ground got me thinking, Nottingham …
The C word: part II
November 21, 2013
A few weeks ago Olivia wrote about the C-word, that time it was coursework, this time it’s Christmas. The Christmas lights were turned on in Nottingham last night to coincide with the opening of the ‘Christmas Wonderland’ in Market Square. I was quite impressed, there were even fireworks and it got me into the festive …
An almost interesting dissertation…
November 7, 2013
The Dissertation, the 10000 word monster that lurks waiting for you in 3rd year, ready to consume all your time and energy! The funny thing about dissertations is that they are such personal and complex bits of work that nobody understands anybody else’s dissertation. I am in the midst of tackling this monster and as …
To me, to you…
October 31, 2013
Happy Halloween! It was celebrated last night by many Nottingham students donning silly outfits and heading down to Crisis. I went out dressed like this… I appreciate the fact it is not a traditional Halloween costume, but I think you’ll agree it is fairly terrifying! I noticed whilst walking through the sea of people in …
Distracted from work? So am I!
October 24, 2013
I am becoming increasingly convinced by a body of academic research (mainly by Professor Trougakos) that suggests that taking regular breaks whilst working is essential to being more productive. Being in third year, the reading, the dissertation and the graduate applications are mounting up and I’m finding that quality stress relieving breaks are crucial to …
