Procrastinating, monopoly, piles of books and early starts…
January 10, 2012
Revision periods are a bit like being a candle burning on both ends. You tell yourself you gotta work late and fend off sleep as much as you can…then get up unhumanly early to work some more (well I try to anyway). The return to Nottingham was therefore a little sad but optimistic. Home was great, I …

“Kay when are you going home for Christmas?” “Oh, er, the 23rd?” “What?! The 23rd? You loser” “I know” 🙁 If you are also one of those really cool people staying really late at university just to study then my sympathies are with you! Don’t get me wrong I’m stupidly excited to go home for …
