Are You Ready?
March 29, 2013
For Easter? I know I am! It’s been nearly 40 days and 40 nights without chocolate, sweets and crisps. And when Easter Sunday comes in two days time, I will finally get my fix! In preparation, I’ve also ordered a ChokaBlok American Dreamcake Easter egg (or two) from Tesco. My family were laughing at me the …
Today Is Not My Day
March 22, 2013
I’m a pretty stress-free person. Deadlines approaching? I’ll get my work done two days before. Bad hair day? I’ll just wear a hat. Oh, you broke my good China? “It’s fine; replace it in your own time”. (I don’t own any China, but you get the jist.) But nothing prepared me for today! The day …
Argo, Mothers, and the 2 Big O’s
March 15, 2013
A dip in the Big O I’m not one of those people so keen on Ocean that I buy my tickets 6 weeks in advance. Before last Friday, I had only gone to Ocean once, which left me associating the club with dodgy fish and over-the-top cheesy music. But it was actually really fun last …

Take Advantage While You Can
March 2, 2013
This blog is particularly aimed at you freshers and second years that may have the mentality of “I’ll do it next year” or “We have lots of time at Uni to do that”. Well, you don’t! Time flies so quickly; before you know it, you might have missed out on the things you kept on …
It’s just emotions taking me over…
February 22, 2013
This week seems to be going really slowly. Maybe it’s because I went home mid-week, so I haven’t really experienced the hustle and bustle of Uni life. (I went home because there’s only one hairdresser I trust with my hair…). Nevertheless, here are some of the emotions I have experienced this week: Awe The CU …
Sport vs. Food
February 15, 2013
After a really fun lacrosse tournament on Sunday (no comment about the score), my whole body ached for most of the week. The week’s remedies for my sport “injury”: Watching other people play sport On Monday we watched the Varsity basketball match at the Capital FM Arena. It’s such an amazing experience! I don’t exactly …
Two Weeks In
February 8, 2013
So I’ve pretty much gotten back into the swing of lectures again. The constant coughing of those around me recovering from refresher’s week is slowly subsiding. My folder is finally clearly divided into my three modules. And my desk is now only 1/4 full of clutter. I am still getting used to my new timetable …
Pinch, Punch, First day of the month
February 1, 2013
No returns! New experiences It’s a new term and a new month, and the perfect opportunity to try something new. I’m not talking about waking up at 11.40 am when you usually wake up at 11.45 am (no biggie!), or drinking Pepsi rather than coke (again, no biggie!). I’m talking about something you’ve never done …
Officially Finished
January 25, 2013
The sheer joy I am feeling right now is unbelievable. Why? Exams are finished!! It’s a bit surreal; there’s still a little voice in my head telling me to revise, but it should soon subside. This is me happily ripping up some notes and throwing them in the air: …
