The first post of 2018 – and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write! Here’s a lil life update for all of you… If we were having coffee, I would tell you that my exams start in five weeks’ time. And that terrifies me. It was only this morning that it really hit … Continue reading

♪♫ Marco Polo – China Lane ♪♬ I’ve neglected this blog and my little space on the internet ever since second year started. And it’s not just because the workload has more than doubled. I’ve said it before, but it upsets me to see my drafted posts sitting there unedited and unpublished; it upsets me to see … Continue reading
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I’m back in Oxford and it’s the start of 3rd week already. Where is the time going?! I’m absolutely loving being back and my room this year is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l so I’m trying to make the most of it. There will be a room tour up on YouTube … Continue reading

It ended too quickly and I want to be back already. China was absolutely amazing and I couldn’t have had a better … Continue reading
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I’m currently in China. Over the past two weeks, I toured some sights and met with friends in Beijing; I travelled to Inner Mongolia for four days; and I’ve just started my Study China programme here in Hangzhou. If we were having coffee, I would tell you … Continue reading
So, how did I do with my July Goals? JULY REFLECTION Personal: 1) Go for a run 3x a week (and seriously this time). Okay, I admit it. I’m seriously bad with running and I don’t know why! I went for a total of one run the entire month. It’s so bad but I’m determined to … Continue reading
It’s been exactly a month since my first year at the University of Oxford finished. I don’t really know how to feel about it, if I’m perfectly honest. It doesn’t feel like one quarter of my degree is over; it doesn’t feel like first year is over. Trinity Term & First Year Reflection I think … Continue reading
