A couple of weeks ago I moved back up to Durham and into my new student house for my third year of university, so I thought it was about time for a tour. The intervening days have been extremely hectic, what with unpacking, sorting out my room and generally getting used to living in a new space. Then a week after I arrived...
It's September which means that last weekend I went to the bi-annual secondhand charity booksale at my local English store, which means... it's time for another haul! You know the drill by now... We Are Called to Rise by Laura McBride Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood We Are Called to Rise is set in the context of an (as far as I can...
It's September and the start of the new academic year, but it occurred to me that I hadn't yet wrapped up the old one. I intended to do this post at the end of the year, around June, however what with one thing and another I was incredibly busy throughout the whole summer - but I still wanted to keep some sort of...
Last week two of my uni friends came to stay with me in Belgium, one from Friday to Sunday and the other from Sunday to Thursday! It was so nice to see them and catch up, especially as one is on her year abroad currently and won't be in Durham when I go back in a month or so. I was determined to...
I've been feeling fairly uninspired with blogging lately (hence the lack of posts) so I thought it was time for a change. It's something I've been meaning to do for a while but I just couldn't think of a name I liked enough until I eventually decided on 'geosophy' - I like that it's quite vague and doesn't make you think of anything...
Lately I've been watching a lot of films and basically trying to catch up on all the DVDs I purchased over the course of my second year at uni in those small moments of panic or stress where I impulsively did an Amazon order or seven. I've also been logging everything I've been watching on Letterboxd, which is basically the Goodreads for films...
I'm currently doing an internship with a planning company in the UK and while I admittedly have a lot of clothes, surprisingly little of it could be described as 'business attire'. After a rigorous assessment of my wardrobe I managed to pick out some suitable dresses and tops but I still needed some basic essentials to get me through the whole 8 weeks...
It's funny how some old sayings prove to be true - absence really does make the heart grow fonder, and these days I'm finding myself missing my quaint little adopted city in the north. So it seemed like a good time to finally get around to writing a blog post I've been meaning to do for a while: a small selection of my...
I turned 20 years old on the 12th of February, and to be honest nearly I'm still coming to terms with the facts that a) I'm no longer a teenager and b) I am officially in my 20s. It's a funny feeling, and one that I think is going to take some time to get used to as I keep almost putting my...
Well well well. Long time no see (perhaps even the longest break I have ever taken on this blog?) but here I am again. The last six months have been ridiculously busy, what with multiple important essays in Epiphany term that took all my time and effort, the Easter holidays which weren't really holidays as I spent part of the 5 weeks on...
I've been doing quite a bit of shopping lately (new year, new wardrobe?) so I thought it was about time for a haul post. I had a shopping trip here in Belgium and also picked up some things in a recent trip to the UK, so as usual it's half in pounds and half in euros - as is my entire life tbh....
Although the Christmas period is well and truly over I'm one of those nosy people who love finding out what other people got for Christmas, so I thought I'd follow the trend and show you some of the presents I received this year. Rather than including every single thing I've decided to be selective and instead choose my top five presents to show...
