Ipods: A Social Pest?
January 30, 2014
With the start of the new term comes new term resolutions: this is the term I work harder; this is the term I go to the gym; this is the term I stop buying salt and sweet popcorn. Resolutions give us a refreshing sense of satisfaction and aspiration pride. Even if we know, somewhere in …
“It’s definitely snowing!”
With a confirmed sighting of snow in Nottingham this morning, I’ve decided to write about my interactions with snow (and ice) over the past fortnight or so! As you might have guessed from the picture I’ve been skiing recently. Above is the view from the top of the Grand Fond lift, looking towards the resort …
Ranting…but this is love
January 29, 2014
So this is love: So is this: And this: My mum sent me some Frozen stickers in the post after me crying down the phone about a very stressful start to hospital placement. Yes – it has actually started! I had my VIVA on Friday, then a whole weekend to relax (what …
The Emergence and Varsity
January 28, 2014
Just give me a second. That’s it, was just shaking off the rustiness! It’s been nearly 4 weeks since I last blogged. I can only apologise and put all the blame on exams. Between the last blog and this one I have been through the exam equivalent of the 5 stages of grief. Denial Yeah …

Hair (specifically head hair) plays such a vital role in how we construct our personality, individuality and identity. Whether you wear it long, short, curly, straight, fluffy, messy it has such a distinctive effect on your appearance and how people remember you – ‘the one with ginger hair’ – ‘he’s the guy with spiky blue …
Viva Forever

Well me too. Luckily you have me to explain what an OSCE is all about, especially since I’ve just been through one today. I …
I can resist anything except an invitation to a play
January 17, 2014
Last Monday, I was invited to a rehearsed reading of a new play by C.J. Wilmann. He is not, despite the name, an eccentric thespian who smokes a pipe and calls everyone ‘darling’. He’s just a nice, lovely fellow who happens to be a rather talented writer with a rather large man-crush on Oscar Wilde. …
The soundtrack to my revision
January 16, 2014
I am lucky enough to have already finished exams, but I know a lot of people are still revising, so I won’t go on about it, much! During one of my many procrastination sessions I decided I needed some musical motivation and made a list of my 10 favourite remixes of 2013. So here’s that …
