Legacy
September 25, 2013
I’m back – like the placement terminator. I’m home – like E.T. And I’m full of energy…like Eeyore Actually I’m quite tired, so I’m enjoying these two weeks at home to rest and catch up with family and friends and get lots of little jobs done – it’s gotten quite busy though. On a …
Revision fever
May 8, 2013
Imagine, if you will: You are looking at your hand, and you notice a small red mark, like chicken pox. You spend a long time cleaning it, putting on special medication, and eventually, after your extensive ministrations, the spot disappears. You think to yourself “brilliant, my hand is healed, how nice to see some clear …
Week of Fun.
April 29, 2013
Welcome back! … to the most intense term of the year! Considering I put on a play in the space of 3 weeks last term, that statement makes me extremely nervous. Yet with exams and coursework deadlines approaching at the speed of light, it make sense. However, before I lock myself out of Facebook and …
Portugal Field Course: Take 1
April 10, 2013
Sat outside in the midday Portuguese sun it’s hard to believe that we’re actually here to do work. My current task in particular? Watching spiders in our homemade terratorium to see how and if they interact with one another – the fact these tanks are now outside was perhaps a winning move on our part …
Theatre is Life

The Secrets of Christmas
December 7, 2012
Christmas is coming, the snow is falling in different places in the UK, late-night shopping is well and truly underway. Mince pies are being consumed, certainly too much in my case! But for many people in halls that Christmassy feeling is yet to arrive. For many of us we associate Christmas with being around our …
Mr Independent
December 3, 2012
On Thursday of last week I was struck with an unfortunate case of man flu: an awful illness that most men are susceptible too, which really knocks you for six. I’m not gonna lie it wasn’t easy, but I feel like I’m on the mend (thank you for your concern!). This weekend my poor housemates …

November 28, 2012
If I was doing a degree in procrastination I would get… …a fail because I’d have distracted myself doing something else. Well I’m not that bad. I do get my work done before deadlines and I do try to be organised, however sometimes it all gets a bit much and working swiftly changes to procrastination. …
