Revision…Eurovision…Embarrassment
May 14, 2014
So I’m back. This can only mean one thing. Exams are looming…like a looming thing on national looming day. Looming is a funny word- not used all that often. So I’ve been doing lots of revision. Well….watching Eurovision, that basically counts right? Making the word Eurovision out of flaked almonds is surprisingly hard. I got …

Dreaming Up Lists Again
May 10, 2014
Life after deadlines shimmers in the distance. My relationship with that final deadline and the freedom beyond is a conflicted one; on the one hand I can’t wait to stop working but, then again, I’m wishing time would slow down so I have more time to deal with all my work! But the post-deadline world …
My first (unexpected) business trip
May 8, 2014
Last Wednesday I received an email from AB InBev, who is a global beer company responsible for brands such as Corona, Stella Artois and Budweiser, about my application to their graduate scheme.

“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 …

The module was offered to English undergraduates, giving us a chance to try a new medium in our final year, and was divided into poetry and proses. In our first seminar …
Posh Food
April 27, 2014
I am not especially greedy but I do harbour a secret love for cooking programmes. I love the tension of will-they-get-it-out-on-time, the cliff-hanger editing, the dramatic music which makes watching someone scramble eggs makes the experience akin to the final chase sequence in ‘Agro’! The cookery show is slowly becoming the new crime thriller. I’m …
Ski Trip 2014
April 24, 2014
The phrase “BEST WEEK EVAAA” was said a lot by students to describe the recent Uni Ski Trip to Val Thorens. Indeed, I was one of those because it really was one of the best weeks of my life. Since our return we have flooded Facebook with pictures from the trip, so I thought I …
