Summertime begins!

Well, not if you go by the weather, which in Scotland changes every five minutes. But my exams are now finished and so for now it is officially summer time for me. It means that the great big mental to do list has now been put down on paper with everything I can remember at [...]

Essays & Exam Time

I’m not sure whether to celebrate that it’s only been two months since my last entry, or to slap myself on the wrist again. There have certainly been much longer breaks between entries and one of the reasons this one was so delayed was general laziness on my part. I was having issues with some [...]

Why "Heathcliff is my man" scares me: The term so far.

This statement was heard as recently as the beginning of term (January 2013), and has been one I have heard many times before. I admit to being intrigued at the prospect of finally reading the novel, of learning about the romantic hero of Heathcliff for myself. We have no reached that point of the course [...]

Hello 2013

The post Christmas and new years entry is always a pain to write, and even worse when hindered with illness. I have (or my body does, I’m beginning to think it is it’s own person) an annual habit/date/whatever you want to call it of being ill. By being ill I mean more so than the [...]

The Post Exam Entry

Yes, that’s right; my exams are over. They have actually been over since Wednesday but I’ve only been able to get around to writing this entry now. Chris has one more exam left so I am trying to contain my excitement – and failing miserably I suspect. I volunteered to go with Chris’ gran to [...]


The year so far…

I was never particularly speedy on updating this blog before, but I have become shockingly bad at keeping it updated. I’m two weeks away from the end of Term 1 and this is my first post about my second year so far. Well I guess it is at least being written before the end of [...]

End of year 1? Not Quite

Months ago most of my fellow students completed their first year of University, I however, still hasn’t officially finished. I have now done all three of my exam re-sits and had the result back for one of them… yep, you guessed it. I am stuck waiting for the other two results. I don’t know how [...]

No Rest for the Wicked

One of the dreaded things about writing a blog post after so long is that guilty explanation about where you’ve been, why you’ve not posted. I’m terribly for falling into this trap and this time the only explanation I’m giving is that I didn’t want to write. I’ve been enjoying my summer after returning from [...]

Essays, Visits & Noses

A strange subject line I know, although very accurate. That pretty much sums up the major parts of life recently and all three happened at the same time. My reading week was the 13th – 17th February and during that week my best friend Haley came up from London for a visit. The week of [...]
