First Year is Almost Over

So this is it, two more exams and first year is over. I can hardly believe that it was 8 months ago that I left what I knew and came to Southampton to start my degree. If you had told me what I would have been up to before I started I would have thought you were crazy ... getting BUCS points for canoe polo, winning our league and cup for rugby, caving for half of my Easter, doing my kayaking 3* and still having time to eat, sleep, socialise and do some work.

Exam Results Are Back!

Today was a very eventful day. Aside from the less obvious (the music DVD I won arriving in the post) we got our exam results back! Looking back to a month ago (already?! these four weeks passed in an instant really!), when everybody was struggling to cram as much as possible into their brains, I have to say I enjoyed the exams.

Lots of Exams But Christmas Is Coming!

So, Iā€™ve just submitted the last assignment due before Christmas and thought I should update this thing to let everyone know whatā€™s been going on for the past few weeks! We had our ITO sailing trip; it was the best experience so far on our course! We all had a great timeā€¦ that was until we wrote the assignment on it: / I never thought I would submit a report with nearly 5,000 words in it this semester, but it somehow turned out that way! I suppose that is better than only managing 50... Continue reading →

2011 so far – Part 1

2011 so far - Part 1 It may be becoming somewhat of a clichĆ©, but what a year it has been so far. Such a busy and exciting year it has been that Iā€™ve not made time to write a blog about it yet. Oops! Sorry about that. But fear not, with a few weeks rest now, in between exams finishing and the start of work for the summer, Iā€™m finally able to give you an update on all the exciting things Iā€™ve been up to. January started off with Semester 1 exams. Continue reading →
