The Seven Stages of Revision

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Revision is currently looming over me like a rather nasty dark cloud, and it's one that's unlikely to be going anywhere soon (once I've finished the current bout of revision for collections, it'll be on to revising for finals!). So, to try and leaven the mundanity of my day, I ...

Winter Walking 2009/2010

Friday, January 8th, 2010

As I have done for the past couple of years, I spent a couple of days over New Year with OUSGG on the trip known to those in the know as Winter Walking. This year we went to the Peak District for the week.

2nd Year Results

Monday, July 13th, 2009

It doesn't seem like just over 3 weeks ago that I was sat inside the Exam Schools - but it was, and today I got my results. They weren't the greatest results I've ever had, but they're good enough to get me onto the 4 year course, so I'm happy. ...

Where does all the time go?

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Despite promising that I'd do my best to keep my blog up to date during Uni, I've made a single post in the past 2 months. So it looks like it's time for me to bring you all up to date again. Hilary term at Oxford was slightly less frantic than ...

Back To University

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

Yes, my Christmas holiday is over and I'm writing this from my college room rather than my room at home. The Christmas holiday's were a welcome break in some ways (although I must admit that 6 weeks off did get slightly tedious towards the end), but it's good to be back. ...

9th Week Blues

Friday, December 7th, 2007

At Oxford (and presumably Cambridge, but we don't talk about them), there's a lot of paranoia about the so called 5th week blues. The theory goes that in the 5th week of term, everyone realises that you're over half way through the term but that you still have so much ...

One Term Down, Eleven To Go

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

First off, a short apology that there's no Bakery Advent Calendar this year. What with Uni and everything, I simply haven't had the time. However, I do have something in the works which will hopefully make up for it... but for the time being I think I'll keep you all ...

Oxford Moments

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

I'm now starting my 6th week living amongst the Dreaming Spires, and, although a lot of the original novelty has worn off, I'm still finding myself hit by what I have decided to call "Oxford Moments" every now and then. As you can probably guess, an Oxford Moment is one ...

Oxford So Far

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

Hello everyone, and sorry it's taken me so long to get around to writing this post. Life here is just so hectic that I genuinely haven't had a free moment to blog until this afternoon! So then, what is it like? Well, in a word - "amazing". The whole experience has ...

Bring On Tomorrow

Monday, October 1st, 2007

We have arrived at a moment in our lives When the future passes into out hands We can find out, are we really strong enough To fulfill what the future demands We can stand on the edge And look out into space And be awed By the wonders we see We can all make a pledge That the whole ...
