    Christmas Cheer in Cádiz

    Christmas cheer in Cádiz ... or should I say lack of it? I haven’t seen a single Christmas decoration in Cádiz, and no one seems to be in the festive spirit, for someone who loves Christmas as much as I do this is a pretty hard pill to swallow. I understand that...

    How not to deal with a very down day

    So we all know it will come eventually, a day where you just feel utterly rubbish. For me that day came on Monday, I can’t tell you why, although talking to my friends we decided that perhaps it was a comedown from my trip home and then to Portugal. But when I woke up...

    Travelling back to Cádiz after Christmas

    It would seem that you really can’t take us anywhere, especially on a plane, without there being some form of luggage drama, so we really should have been expecting it on our journey back to Cádiz. Kath, Claire and I decided to meet in Birmingham as it was easy for...

    A quick visit to England

    Being back in Blighty was so exciting that I didn’t even mind the freezing cold weather; it was just good to be back in familiar territory and I had a very exciting reason for being there. Next year I will be going to Canada with Scouts from all over the world for the...

    So today was my second day at university, another early start and no, it didn’t get any easier. I went to my literature class first, to be honest I don’t remember any of it, I was half asleep and I didn’t really enjoy it. I then came home, thank goodness its only...

    First Day at Uni - Panic!

    Luckily for me I don’t have classes on Mondays in the first semester of university, so I had a lie in, I think that having 9am starts for the rest of the week more than entitles me to a Monday morning lie in! I waited for my housemates to get home and tell me how...

    Erasmus Welcome Party at Soumat

    After our siestas, we began to prepare for our first proper Erasmus night out. We were aware that most nights out in Spain didn't end until the morning so we all had a nap in the hope that we would last the night! Again we had pre-drinks at our flat in Plaza de Mina as...

    Erasmus Beach Party

    The event on Facebook advised us to hide our alcohol discreetly as drinking on the beach is illegal, but it assured us that as we are professional Erasmus students we would surely be able to manage it. Some of the girls that we had met out and about came to our flat in...
