A Postcard from Slough
March 3, 2013
Lugging my heavy pink flowery bag to campus on Thursday may have implied that I was headed somewhere exotic after my afternoon seminar. Well, you would be right. I got straight on a bus to head to the train station and my destination was the one and only (drum roll please)…Slough! Okay, so not really …
Very Interesting People
February 24, 2013
This week I promised an interesting blog. Well…I am going to Barcelona in the summer with my family, I have become addicted to the programmes Parks and Recreation, watched Uma Thurman try and Kill Bill and I have just made a hot chocolate. That pretty much sums up the interesting aspects of my week. I …
21 Years OLD
February 17, 2013
Instead of going out last night I stayed in with my house mate and we put on some face masks and (kind of) watched a Sandra Bullock film. I went out for cocktails with my friend in Sheffield earlier in the week and all we were looking forward to was going home to sleep. The …
Something Fishy Going On…
February 10, 2013
I have never had a pet. My neighbours back home used to have a cat called Kinky. I’m not exactly sure why they chose that particular name but it might have been because they found it amusing to hear the six year old next door run around the garden calling out ‘Kinky! Kinky!’ The six …
Course Life
February 3, 2013
Usually I use this blog to tell everyone what’s happening outside of my degree. In fact I barely mention my course at all apart from when I’m rushing to meet a deadline. But after taking the National Student Survey this week, a survey for final year students, I realised I do actually really like my …
Retail Therapy
January 27, 2013
After writing the title of this blog, I suffered from a spontaneous case of ‘Oh-my-God-I-am-in-third-year-what-am-I-going-to-do-with-my-life?!’ and so immediately asked Google to help me solve this problem by searching for internships or Masters degrees. However, earlier this week my only decision was whether to buy a blazer or some sparkly jeans or both. Even then …
Want to Watch a Film?
January 20, 2013
It’s still exam season. It’s still essay writing, presentation planning time. So when someone asks that procrastination fuelled question: ‘Hey, do you want to watch a film?’ the answer should always be ‘NO!’ The extended answer should always be ‘No thanks, I have to do some work.’ So when someone asks you this question 5 …
Take a Break, Have Some Cake
January 13, 2013
Tea and cake at 3 o’clock is fine, very civilized even. Eating chocolate fudge cake at 3 o’clock in the morning, the tea necessary for a caffeine burst, however is not really acceptable. The only possible excuse is that essay deadlines are looming! Why else would I also have the urge to then sort out laundry after …
A Very Merry (Topical) Christmas Carol
December 23, 2012
Once upon a Christmas time in the magical land of Birmingham, 4 cousins went for a festive meal. Little did they know, the candle of Christmas, the candle that protected all joy and happiness around this time of year, had been compromised! (Dun dun duh!) Instead of counting down the days until Christmas, it had begun to suck the life out …
Dear Diary,
December 16, 2012
Seeing as I wrote my first blog from home, it seems rather appropriate to be writing this blog about the last week of term from the very same place. Everything has gone full circle. So it has been a pretty hectic week and with essays handed in, I have been inspired to add some structure …
