Happy belated Easter! I’m just back from a fantastic, but hectic, holiday in Florida. It was as always a very busy holiday going to all of the theme parks etc and to be honest I’m a bit glad to be home for a rest! Of course I won’t be resting for long with the last few weeks of first year and then the big bad exams in May to study for.

Other university news, I was doing campus tours before the holiday and it’s weird to think that a year ago that was me visiting the university, time flies! It’s kind of scary that I’m almost through first year already! I was doing tours with the top-up programme and there was a section in their day where they got to “ask a student” what it was really like to be a first year, that “student” being me. I was expecting to be asked academic questions such as how many lectures I have, how hard the course is etc, but my recurring questions were; “Is drink cheap?”, “Will I get away with drinking underage?” and “Can you get away with not going to lectures?” The answer is yes to all the above by the way, but of course I don’t advocate drinking and skiving off uni!
