So this is…Fakemas
December 12, 2012
In case you didn’t know – Fakemas is Christmas you celebrate with your Uni friends before breaking up for Christmas holidays. Deadlines are almost over, my boots are skidding on frozen leaves, cactus santas are in the shops (no seriously, I’m not joking, see below) so what does this mean? It’s almost holiday time! This …
Much love for the people of Nottingham over here
This week I nearly ended up having ‘bitten by a squirrel’ added to my medical file but (thankfully) due to my wimpishness and jumping half a mile when a squirrel ran up my leg, I don’t. Two of my friends do; think the squirrels of University Park are getting far too bold for their boots. However, got …
Its the little things this Christmas
December 11, 2012
Final week is here! Can you believe it? I feel like it was freshers, I blinked, and now we’re here. Deadlines are done or nearly so and now we’re realising how much revision we have to do over the holidays for January exams. When will it end? I find that at this time of year …
A Lot of Cheese
December 10, 2012
This week I have lived off cheese. I have always said anything can be made to taste better if you just grate a bit of cheese on the top…well, maybe not everything but it really doesn’t have the same ring to it if you say all savoury things (apart from if there’s …
Skyfall
December 4, 2012
Saturday saw the annual OTC Christmas dinner; dinner jackets, self-tied bow ties and martini’s at the reception. Theme you say? Skyfall! The ladies bought their gowns, in some cases more than one (just in case) while the gentlemen desperately scavenged YouTube for a step by step guide to tying their own bow ties. The soup …
Mr Independent
December 3, 2012
On Thursday of last week I was struck with an unfortunate case of man flu: an awful illness that most men are susceptible too, which really knocks you for six. I’m not gonna lie it wasn’t easy, but I feel like I’m on the mend (thank you for your concern!). This weekend my poor housemates …
It’s only November!
November 25, 2012
So I am writing this blog whilst eating a Christmas biscuit and although I resent the fact that the Christmas spirit seemed to infect everyone from the start of November…I have to admit this biscuit is pretty good! Accused of being a Grinch by my housemates (even to the point where I was …
Haha!

Sometimes laughter is the best medicine. A case in point below of me crying with laughter before going to a ball (I’m not normally dressed that formally). My flatmates were pretending to rap. I love my Uni friends – and random moments of joy that have really made me chuckle. This week these moments have …
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 …
A 21st Birthday in Brisbane
December 15, 2011
Today I’m celebrating my twenty-first birthday in Sunny Brisbane. It’s great to be celebrating a December birthday in sunshine and with plans to head to the beach over the weekend; I’ll be ending my time in Aussie in style! I begin my long journey home on Monday morning, and will arrive at Heathrow on Wednesday …
