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. … Continue reading
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I’m currently on a train to London with Jack bound for Luton Airport*.We’re off to Vilnius in Lithuania, followed by Riga in Latvia. It was a pretty spontaneous booking and neither of us have been to either country.That’s another two I can tick off 😉 I’ll … Continue reading
A couple of weeks ago, New College had its annual Boat Party on the River Thames. This year’s theme was Casino, with the dress code being, ‘Black with a hint of red‘. This was the first black-tie event of term in my calendar and we were all looking forward to dressing up and escaping leaving Oxford for … Continue reading
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I’m currently sitting in Burger King at Shanghai’s International Airport. I’ve just devoured a spicy chicken meal and I’ve been catching up on blog comments. The airport wifi is definitely the fastest wifi I have come across so far on this trip! Did you see my … Continue reading
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that this term ends next Saturday. Next Saturday?! It’s insane how fast this term has gone but, at the same time, I’ve actually done so much and barely remember the first few weeks (they seriously feel like they were months ago). I have an incredibly busy week lined up: Law … Continue reading
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I moved back to university! Today marks the end of First Week and it’s been a hectic past week. I didn’t start the term of that great because I was running on very little sleep and had way too many translations to get done (The Aeneid literally takes me hours! *cries*), … Continue reading
We’re three days into the New Year so I thought it’s about time I let you all know what my Goals are. I prefer to use this term rather than ‘Resolutions’ simply because I know that I will never stick to resolutions. Goals are more definable: goals are things that you can work towards, achieve … Continue reading
I cannot believe an entire year has passed yet again -where is the time going?! Cue all of the “2016 in Review” blog posts and “2017 New Year Resolutions” as everyone begins to settle down and reflect on the past year. And I’m just about to jump on the bandwagon I’m afraid… Twenty Sixteen. Aside … Continue reading
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that time has flown so, so, so fast and I can’t believe that term ends NEXT SATURDAY?! It’s absolutely insane and something I can’t get my head around. So many things have happened and so many things have changed since Freshers’ Week but it’s still incredibly strange to think … Continue reading
So there’s this thing at Oxford… Fifth Week Blues is notorious, both at Oxford and at Cambridge, but what exactly is it? If you didn’t know already, the University of Oxford has only eight-week terms which means that, in effect, I’m actually only at university for twenty-four weeks of the year(!). This differs significantly from … Continue reading
