Guten Tag: a student holiday to Germany
June 4, 2014
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 …
What do you love?
February 12, 2014
This week I have been asked to link with the study what you love blog – which is helpful actually because I’m on placement so my life is my course. Seriously. Placement takes over everything. So if I didn’t love it I’d be in trouble. My Story I’m a bit unusual in that I decided …

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 …

Christmas Capers
December 3, 2013
I have succumbed to Christmas cheer. As the date on my phone, ticked over or rather changed, to the 1st December the countdown to Christmas was on. As soon as I start counting it all starts to feel real. Also with my birthday thrown in between now and Christmas, deadlines and going back home the month of …
What are you afraid of?
November 20, 2013
When I was little, fears were powerful, and somewhat ridiculous. I was scared of this: Masked Celtic warriors of rival tribes, dancing eachother to death in the sinister world of gang warfare, Michael Flatley and Riverdance. Irish history – what could inspire more fear? I was also scared of this guy: …Well he did …
13 emotional states of University
November 13, 2013
University. The time of your life. Or rather, a time in your life. I find that dictating how you’re “meant” to feel about something is never really helpful. We feel how we feel, then we have to recognise it and handle it and manage it. A typical example is Fresher’s week – it’s so hyped …
First World Bug
October 30, 2013

Students just wanna have fun!
October 9, 2013
Now I know humour is subjective…for example apparently this is funny: I think it’s just….wrong. I think the next advert will be in some kind of mental health setting: “Josh always eats Flora before his therapy sessions – as he needs energy to reach his emotional depths.” However I was alerted to this ‘delightful’ and …
Legacy
September 25, 2013
I’m back – like the placement terminator. I’m home – like E.T. And I’m full of energy…like Eeyore Actually I’m quite tired, so I’m enjoying these two weeks at home to rest and catch up with family and friends and get lots of little jobs done – it’s gotten quite busy though. On a …
