Exam time

Its exam time at Loughborough, and for me that means the first exams i've ever done at university. Its definitely been in interesting experience,especially because of the difference between this and my IB.
So far ive taken 3/5 exams, so just two to go. I think all three have gone ok so far thankfully, now i just have Economics and Organisational Behaviour left.
Over the last two years, my exams have never had more than 20 or so people in because there were so few of us doing it. For my higher economics exam in year 13 I was the only one sitting the exam! However at uni they run something like 4 different exams at once.... in the gym hall which is a hall the size of a football pitch. In the exams there have been more than 900 people sitting an exam at the same time! its crazyyy! Ive never seen so many desks in my entire life! The quiet is odd as well. 900 people sitting in silence... its quiet but its also kind of loud. There are 900 people sniffing and coughing and writing so its very strange. Before you go into the exam you get a seat reference so you know where to sit. Ive been M30, and G40 so far. when they let us in its crazy because 900 people are walking to their desks, and there are 900 bags at the front.
I managed to find a photo of it but it doesnt really sum up how massive the hall is, think this time about 6 as there are a-w wide and then 1-40  long.

Thursday/Friday

Sorry I didnt post this yesterday but I went out in the evening so I didnt really have time

 Same as always for breakfast

 A tuna mayo sandwich with a yogurt and a cupcake for lunch

For dinner I made sweet and sour chicken with vegetables and rice. mmm

In the evening we went to Revs which is a club in town. It was really fun especially since we've all been revising like nutters. This photo is me Tash and Sarah, they are the girls I am living with next year

And today breakfast was the same (with strong coffee!)

lunch was beans on toast but i forgot to take a photo so you will jut have to take my word for it

Here is day one! I had Salmon, homemade chips, roast pepper and mushrooms. YUM :)

January blues?

Well, I am back at uni after an AMAZING break over Christmas. It was so great to see my friends and family again, and it was pretty cool having dinner prepared every night. Its january blues big time here at uni because in the next three weeks everyone has their exams so every one is mega stressed out. Sarah is literally locked in her room revising like a maniac, and i'm revising loads too. It gets a bit claustrophobic just always being stuck in your room revising so ive been trying to give myself lots of little treats to keep motivated. My friend Kate from hiphop came over yesterday for coffee and i'm going to be going to dance today for the first time since ive been back.... 

Ive been trying to keep my room a bit tidyer than last term, because im getting a reputation of having to untidyest room in my flat! I think im doing quite well so far! What do you think?

I was trying to think of things that might be interesting for you all to see so ive decided to take a photo of what I eat for dinner every day this week so you can see how a uni student eats. Obviously i wont be eating dinner now so i will post todays later but that might be something interesting for you all to see!

Happy New Year

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hello everyone, hope you are had a lovely holiday. Luckily for me, I still have a fortnight to go as Loughborough gives me a month off for Christmas! Not so luckily that means plenty of time for revision for my exams this month! I go back on the 16th and then there is a week of revision lectures followed by two weeks of exams, then I get another week off! Loughborough calls this 'Refreshers week' and its a chance for us all to blow of some steam after our exams.

Its been really weird being back for Christmas, but i settled back into the way of home pretty quickly and now it almost seems like Loughborough was a very long and exciting dream but didn't really happen....or perhaps that it happened but now its over... I don't know, when I left i missed it masses and especially my flatmates Sarah and Alis who i've got used to seeing almost every waking hour.... but soon home cooked meals, a dishwasher, live TV and a bath took over that and it feels pretty comfortable here. 

To make things even better, we just got back from a gorgeous week in Dubai which I had to share with you because even though its not related to uni it was perfect enough that who knows-perhaps I might go and live there for a year? 

 This is the view from our window during the day, something I had to cope with trying to ignore whilst revising in the mornings when everyone else was asleep!

I went the the desert on safari(above) and this is the camel I rode on, he was really chilled out. Definately the highlight of the holiday!

 Our pool! So beautiful!

This was definately how I will remember Dubai, it was amazingly beautiful at night, all lit up. I think i probably even preferred it to New York which is supposed to be the true "city that never sleeps"!
