Guten Tag: a student holiday to Germany

Hallo! Sprecken zie English? “Nein” … Bitte? Pretty bitte with cherries on top?   *awkward silence*   Ok so I’ve been on a post-exams trip to Germany. It was awesome. But people tend to assume I’m a local and I did 8 weeks of German 9 years ago. So obviously I’m fluent. My German = rude …

A weekend in the ‘sun’

So I went on holiday this weekend. Shanghai? Sri Lanka? Sharm El Sheikh? Actually Sheffield. Oh yeah, be jealous. It was lovely actually. I stayed with my long-lost housemate Marilyn who is also on placement and we painted the town red. If by that you mean we chatted loads and went round the high street …

“Doctor! Doctor! I’m writing a dissertation”…”Pull yourself together then”

There once was a girl called Sarah Who felt like she was going spare-ah She had work to do, But found ways to pull through, And then she thought she might share-ah   Things that help me when I have lots of work: Disney Being silly Cake/ pomegranate(s) / foods I love Wearing purple (see …

DOUZE

So there are 12 days of Christmas 12 disciples 12 chairs at a table before superstitious people get twitchy …And 12 weeks of summer placement in the third year of studying to be a Dietitian. Well I have been very productive:   Worked very hard: And given some great Dietetic advice:   The above was …

Finding your place…ment

So it’s been a little while since I last blogged – and that’s because it’s been very busy. As the title suggests, I’ve been finding my place in my hospital placement as a Student Dietitian. I suppose it has been quite surreal for me. I’ve wanted to be a Dietitian since I was thirteen so …

NEWSFLASH: Lecturers are People

In primary school, teachers are like robots. They can be kind of fun, help you learn – but your mind compartmentalises them into the “school” folder, in the way that cars are filed in “roads” and “garages” and flowers in “plants,” “gardens” and “vases” etc.  Tell me I’m not the only one who thinks in …

The Key of the Door

So apparently, when you’re 21 you get the key of the door- because you’ve never been 21 before. So that was exciting this weekend on my 21st birthday. My mum tried to get me one of these gorgeous plastic numbers but couldn’t find one in time. So in stead I got these I love tulips 🙂 …

Take a Break, Have Some Cake

Tea and cake at 3 o’clock is fine, very civilized even. Eating chocolate fudge cake at 3 o’clock in the morning, the tea necessary for a caffeine burst, however is not really acceptable. The only possible excuse is that essay deadlines are looming! Why else would I also have the urge to then sort out laundry after …
