With a heavy heart
May 31, 2013
Less than one week lies between me and freedom, me and second year and sadly, me and the end of this position as the ‘Fresher blogger’. Last night when trying to post my blog I was belied by the internet, which for close to a week has been defunct in my hall. All problems resolved …
Furious Flashback
May 17, 2013
In the words of the wise Craig Charles it’s time for a ‘Ridiculous Replay’. My first year is in it’s final fleeting weeks but rather than look ahead at the impending exams I want to have a ‘Furious flashback’ at the year. Yes it’s a cliché but there hasn’t been a single standout moment but …
Chasing the sun
May 9, 2013
Students are emerging from the dark, weary eyed and seeing the paradise that lay before them. SUNSHINE. The temperatures are pushing the high teens and the sudden, uncontrollable urge to sit on the ground in the sun is among us. When the sun comes out I consider myself to be a bit of an …
1kg of meat to knock you off your feet!
April 25, 2013
My room is in a relatively clean state which can only mean one thing. It’s the start of the term and there hasn’t been enough time, no matter how hard I’ve tried, to be too messy! Exams are again on the horizon but as lectures wind down and the beautiful thing called free time racks …
Transition: Student to me
April 11, 2013
Well I’ve been back home now for a few weeks for the Easter break and I have really struggled to think about content for this blog. I was sat thinking, well I’m not in Nottingham. What can I write about that is possibly relevant. I’m not doing anything studenty. So I thought I’d write about …
Bored games
March 29, 2013
At around 2pm on Friday I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. All my work was handed in. I was now free for a month, well free until the point I could no longer avoid starting revision, but upon arrival back at my room I came upon a horrible realisation. My work had only …
Going on a bear hunt… to the zoo!
March 14, 2013
On Sunday I climbed aboard a coach at 8:30 and urged my friend to run from Sainsbury’s otherwise she’d miss the bus. If only I had my camera on me and I could have captured her running! I’ll hopefully make up for that one missed photo opportunity by showing you lots of pictures of all …
Fire door CAUSES Fire…
March 8, 2013
This week I’m reporting almost from a 3rd person perspective. I was at home this week recovering from illness in my own bed, the good news, Ollie Steels, blogger, geneticist and all round great guy is getting better thanks to some antibiotics and rest (although the blood test results are still somewhat elusive… I need …
Sleep, glorious sleep.
March 3, 2013
Oh sleep, wonderful sleep marvellous sleep glorious sleep! My body is crying out for sleep. A small splashing of sport and a dollop of illness has seen my craving for sleep reach an unbelievable peak. All throughout my life I have been the type of person, who wakes up, rolls out of bed (not literally) …
Hidden Gems
February 24, 2013
Spontaneity. Is a beautiful thing. (That suits a David Attenborough voice don’t you think?) I was lucky enough to spend this weekend with my girlfriend but in typical male fashion I hadn’t come up with any concrete plans for the weekend. So Saturday afternoon came and a friend tipped me off about a deal. 2 …
