Fifth of March.

Yes. That’s my dissertation deadline and it’s approaching a little too fast if you ask me. But in reality, I have to hand in a draft in 10 days, which means I have even less time to do it. Strangely enough, I feel quite calm about it and I will not analyse it further because …read more

Final year and the post-graduation plans.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everybody a very happy new year! In the Mayan history (yes, I’m really going for this…) end of a calendar doesn’t predict end of the world, but predicts big changes, so I pronounce the year of 2013, the Year of Change. Let’s all take this opportunity …read more

Dissertation.

I feel bad for not writing anything here for such a long time, but dissertation preparation took all my time. It’s all fun and games until you get to the 3rd year; that’s when the hard work really starts. I had the entire summer to come up with an idea for my dissertation, to re-think …read more

Let the summer begin.

I cannot describe that feeling, when you get back home and you know you don’t have to get back to revision straight away. The feeling when you know you can now do anything you want. It’s a great feeling. Yes, I’ve finished my exams, and hence officially finished Year 2. Getting through the exam period …read more

Second year is tough

I knew second year wouldn’t be as easy as the first, but I didn’t realise how busy I’d be! I feel really bad for neglecting this blog lately, but the amount of work I had to go through consumed all my free time. Practicals. Doesn’t seem like a lot, since it’s the only pieces of …read more

Semester 2

I haven’t written here in a while, but in my defence I had a lot going on. Semester 2 has started and things are moving fast again. I can’t believe it’s already been two weeks. I already got used to my new timetable though I only have one 9am start, however this is only temporary …read more

No more exams

Ah, exams are finally over! To be honest, I shouldn’t be complaining because after I handed in all my coursework, I had just over 2 weeks to revise for exams, of which I had 2! But of course it wasn’t as easy as it seemed. The first exam, Biological Psychology, was a real pain. Although …read more

Time is flying and I’m avoiding coursework.

Time is going fast. Today I’ve realised that I’m already half way through my degree, which means I really have to pull myself together and start working really hard. At the moment, I can’t really concentrate on coursework that’s due in next week. Let alone the coursework that’s due in after Christmas. All I can …read more

I actually missed university over the summer

I’ve never thought I’d say this, but I actually missed university over the summer. What I didn’t realise was that this year wouldn’t be as easy going as the previous one. As a second year student, I no longer have a “privilege” of living in student halls, so with a reasonable amount of time in …read more
