If you’re new to my blog and here just for this post, welcome, you’re in for a treat. This little space on the internet has sadly been neglected this year, but it’s coming back with a bang in 2019! Grab yourself a drink and a snack because it’s gonna be a long one. Twenty Eighteen. […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 33
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 […]
twenty-seventeen in review + lessons learned
Right. Here it is: the post you’ve all been waiting for. It’s currently 2:25am on the final day of 2017, and I am ready to be brutally honest with every single one of you who’s taking the time to read this post right now – thank you, by the way, it really does mean a lot. […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 32
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 […]
If We Were Having Coffee… + GIVEAWAY! | Vol. 31
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I’ve just come back from a week-long trip to Uzbekistan with Kalpak Travel. I am absolutely amazed by this country and I can’t wait to share all of my posts with you. Hopefully you followed the adventures over on Instagram so you’ve seen a taster 😉 […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 30
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I’ve just got back from China. As much as I couldn’t wait to escape Hangzhou’s humidity, I’m actually pretty sad to be back home. It ended too quickly and I want to be back already. China was absolutely amazing and I couldn’t have had a better […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 29
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 […]
July Reflection 2017
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 […]
Reflection: Trinity Term & First Year | Uni Diaries
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 […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 28
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that *hopefully* I’m back on it with producing content for A Piece of Viola. I’ve got a schedule of blog posts I want to write. I’m trying to get on top of things before I go away with no internet access. I’m back to posting twice a week […]
