“holiday”
May 7, 2014
Well, we had Easter. This is over: Which I am both happy, and sad about. And this has begun: Revision. Although I’m not that bad. …Yet. I think being at home without access to my cafetiere is part of it. At the moment it feels quite hard to revise as there seems so …
Ups and Downs
March 26, 2014
A man goes to his Doctor to get the results from some tests. Doctor: I’ve got some good news and some bad news Patient: give me the good news first… Doctor: well you’ll be proud to know we’re naming a new fatal disease after you! That joke is courtesy of my Aunty- who texts me jokes …
A weekend in the ‘sun’
March 12, 2014
So I went on holiday this weekend. Shanghai? Sri Lanka? Sharm El Sheikh? Actually Sheffield. Oh yeah, be jealous. It was lovely actually.

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 …
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 …

You know you’re back at Uni when…
October 3, 2013
… you buy a bag of sweet and salted popcorn and then proceed to eat the whole bag by yourself – even though you know it’ll make you feel sick – simply because it was on offer at Sainsbury’s for £1. … you make some kind of melted ball of broccoli-tinned-tuna-rice-saucy thing but, as you’re …
