Writer’s Block
April 20, 2014
Laptop plonked on desk, enjoying the friendly company of a cup of tea and a biscuit. Fingers poised above the keyboard. There’s just one thing missing. The writing. No matter how hard I stare at the page. Change the font. Underline. Bold. Underline and bold. Inspiration, the fiery muse, ain’t gunna sing anytime soon. Unlike Milton, …

Discoveries I have made this week: 1. The non term-time hopper bus timetable. Do you like waiting? Do you enjoy gnawing hunger in the evenings?

Que sera, sera!
April 15, 2014
After arriving home on Saturday after a manic day of late night coursework and even later last minute packing I crawled into my bed and set my alarm for 5:30am. It was painful to see 5 hours 27 minutes flash up on the screen, as my phone likes to torment me with how little sleep …

A friend’s birthday is an inevitability; the more friends you have the greater the chance of upcoming birthdays.

Time For Change
This last week just past was the BioSoc AGM. Where a new committee is elected for the next year. It was time for me to relinquish my role as treasurer and hand on the financial reins to another, young, fresh faced charge. Very sad times indeed, if it wasn’t for the fact I was running …
Hard-Headed Journalist
April 5, 2014
Today I was a hard-headed (or is it hot-head?) journalist. I had an appointment at the Playhouse to interview the artistic director about the county council cuts for an upcoming Impact article. And so I went armed with recording device, notebook and coffee: the three wise-men necessities of the journalistic world. I believe this was …
HMS Awesome

This week, my soundtrack would have been flight of the bumblebee. It has been crazy busy. This has been good from a distraction-y point of view but less from a quality of life-y angle. Oh well. Case in point: my eye. There were some bright points though! My friend who studied musical theatre in London was …
The Phantom of the Opera is My Essay
March 28, 2014
There’s something very satisfying when I realise you can write one of your final university essays on Lloyd Webber’s ‘The Phantom of the Opera’.
