Time for Time Wasting
May 3, 2012
It’s now been a week since I submitted my dissertation and what a surreal week it has been. Thursday was a mixture of emotion – stress, worry, relief, loss and above all exhaustion. It was early to bed and Friday morning I had expected to wake up feeling relieved and happy – instead I woke …

Hey awesome people! ^_^ It’s term again already I can’t believe it! Tomorrow is the School of Economics Class of 2012 photo and goodbye gathering.

The end of Surgery and the beginning of Medicine
April 27, 2012
Hello again, It’s weird really. I just published a post this morning but it’s now gone. So, I’ll just write again 😀 As I’ve said earlier this morning, we (medical students in Surgery) got a day off before moving on to Medicine next week. Surgery has been fantastic! I got to help surgeons in Operation …
The End is Nigh…
The end is nigh, after the most intense semester of my studying to date I am almost on the home straight. The intensity took its toll last week as the gap in my posting shows, I was buried under my vast amount of work and my health seemed to hit a wall. Usually back in …
Submissions and Sleep
April 26, 2012
It’s finished, complete, submitted and handed in. This afternoon, the months of reading, planning, structuring, writing, editing, shuffling, formatting finally ended and I submitted my final dissertation. I realise why it’s such an integral part of third year; yes it’s tough, and intense and gruelling at times, but if you didn’t do something like this, …
Cold Chain Missions

Hello wonderful blog readers. I hope you’re well 🙂 I’m currently at home in Darlington to ‘recharge the batteries’ before heading back to Nottingham tomorrow. I don’t think I’ll be home before June and even then it will only be for a week or so, so I’m really gonna miss being at home. I am …

Hello again, As promised…here’s Salzburg! I have to say that this is my favourite destination city out of the 3 in my Halfway Breakaway. 2 things which are popular in Salzburg: The Sound of Music & Mozart. So, if you’re a fan of any of these, book your flight tickets. Just look at the pictures …
Seeing the Light – Somewhat Bittersweet?
April 19, 2012
I’m reaching that beautiful stage that you get to in an assignment where you’ve got a draft done, the edits are coming together, and while you’ve get a while to go yet, it’s beginning to take form, the jigsaw pieces are fitting together and the picture’s completion is in sight…yes, my dissertation is in its …
Sports & Secret Societies
April 15, 2012
Yet another busy week across the pond here at the University of Virginia as the semester approaches the home straight. Last weekend was my Mother’s birthday, which meant a special day out to one of the well renowned local wineries and it did not disappoint. A special Easter brunch with some exceptional company was followed …

Hello everybody, As you all know, I’m still at King’s Mill Hospital even though most of you are going on a holiday or having fun with your family and friends 😛 I’m enjoying it though. I mean, I love meeting patients and take blood from them (does this make me sound like a vampire?). Anyway, …
