I have currently been in Durham for 8 weeks; preseason, freshers and half of the first academic term are now behind me and it has flown by! It’s been a very hectic start to University life, and I’d like to share how everything is going with you.

‘So this is Christmas, And what have you done Another year over More deadlines to come’
Ahhh, it’s Christmas time (unless you’re one of those people who refuses to listen to a carol until December the 1st). The streets are soon going to be gleaming with non-lumière lights, you’ll have an excuse to batch-buy…

Here I share just a…
Contrary
