Did you hear about the bomb scare at uni the other day? The whole of Guildhall was closed and James Watson halls were evacuated too! In the end it just turned out to be a suspicious looking parcel, but you can imagine how scary it was at the time. These things generally turn out to …read more
Well I guess this is growing up.
Today I got the Megabus back home to Oxford from Portsmouth and, after a delicious cappuccino and bacon sandwich in this little cafe near the harbour, the journey back wasn’t too bad. I managed to do a lot of reading which is always handy and my iPod was dishing out a lot of musical treats …read more
I’ve finally stopped being lazy!

So we are well and truly back in the swing of things in semester 2, and I’m now officially more than half way through my degree. It’s pretty scary stuff. I got all my results back from my essays and exam in January and I passed everything (thankfully!) I know I really need to buckle …read more
The never-ending list of things to do.
Sorry I haven’t written in a while, but it’s been a pretty hectic few weeks! In the last week I have gone back to uni and I have to say I love the units I’m doing this semester already. I had a seminar for one titled “Publics and Privates: Literary Sexualities, 1700-1830″ and, as hilarious …read more
The Galleon!
Pugwash News is changing its name to The Galleon and I have to say, I like it! It’s about time the newspaper had a more professional name and was taken a bit more seriously as it’s a seriously good read and a lot of work goes in to it. I really think more people should …read more
Freedom!
(I sound like William Wallace…) So I had my last exam almost a week ago now and it has been so nice to have some time off to relax after all the hard work I did: 3 essays to hand in in one week and an exam to revise for/do did not make a happy …read more
Halfway through my degree!
It’s pretty emotional actually. Where is the time flying? Anyway, 7,000/7,000 words have been written and I am almost there for January! After many hours slaving away, and one 10 hour library session (okay, I admit I may have left for an hour to get dinner at the pub…), I finally finished my essays and …read more
Karaoke, caravans & deep-fried butter balls.
For those of you who don’t know, although I go to university in Portsmouth and live in Oxford when I’m at home, my whole family is actually from Scotland. I was born there too although I lost my accent a long time ago! Unfortunately, I normally only get to see my family twice a year …read more
End of 2011 video.
End of 2011 video. A couple of my friends made a video of themselves training towards the end of this year. Basically, the two of them are really into freerunning/Parkour and you don’t realise how hard they train and practice until you watch videos like this. Check it out – you might see them running …read more
Late nights, early mornings…
It all ends up equalling a very tired Kathryn! I love my degree but right now I have 3 essays to write, a reflective journal and graduate job application to fill in, and an exam to revise for, all within the next month! It can get pretty manic and, after planning an essay today, I’ve …read more
