The Importance of Being Lonely

As a modern student our lives are excessively busy. Yesterday I had a tutor meeting about an essay concerning Victorian melodrama; a seminar about how Oscar Wilde thinks murder is ok if you’re an artist; a meeting about Edinburgh Proposals at the Nottingham New Theatre; a recording for the radio play I’m in (Society Rules); …

Soundtrack to my life/ happy new year!

As you may know, I have recently got into classic fm. Now I know nothing about classical music, who wrote what or anything- but I have been know to say ‘TUNE’ when something I like comes on. And classical music I feel is very emotive, and some pieces I have heard have really echoed my …

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 …
