I love NYC!

So i’ve been a tad lax at keeping this updated. Christmas was fantastic! Managed to be in New York City for the lighting of the tree, saw Wicked on Broadway, went to see the daily show be recorded and had a chat with the Big Yin (Billy Connolly). I was there with a fellow Glaswegian [...]

Work hard, play hard… right?

So, three months in and who can believe it? It has been go go go on the coursework front. The academic culture here is very different and takes some adjusting to but it’s worth it for the wealth of amazing opportunities there are as well.
It’d not that the course work is harder there’s just more [...]

California…

I have completed one semester here and have had a whole month off over Christmas to explore California, which I absolutely love. Yet, I was still more than happy to come home to Berkeley and my City across the Bay – San Francisco, at the end of my travels. Here is a brief Photo summary of my [...]

Dalhousie Adventure: Semester 1

Semester One

Getting there

My first semester at Dalhousie University, Halifax in Canada has been anything but dull and to be honest I can’t believe it is over already (but I still have semester two to look forward to).

The twenty-eight of August 2008. This was the day that I had now [...]

September was a month of meeting people, picking courses and getting used to the pace of life in [...]

Woodford is the one I love.

Firstly, an apology for the sheer cheesiness of this blog.
I would write an ode to Woodford if I could. I would write a book on it. I would even write on my head to express my love.
Woodford – or rather the Woodford folk festival, has to now be accredited as one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Words cannot [...]

First semester UQ

Okay, so this is my first blog in the right place but it is a bit too late to say it’s even close to being written at the right time.
I’m living in Taringa, west of Brisbane by 15 minutes, and attending the University of Queensland and so far I have had a [...]

Start of Semester Two

Hello, I have just returned from Scotland to begin my second semester here at Boston College.
First semester was a lot of fun and a lot of hard work. I’m not sure how it works in other subjects and with other colleges but there is a lot more on-going assessment here, and a LOT of reading [...]
