I’m done! Christmas break, here I come! Apologies to all of you who are still in the midst of the exam-time bubble, but with the first half of my final year finally at a close, I’m feeling pretty good! This semester I didn’t have any exams, in fact I haven’t for a while. My English degree […]
Writing for a friend… Just kidding, I actually did do all this stuff. I’ll admit it. But I wasn’t as lucky as you to have someone writing a post about all the things you should and shouldn’t do while in Dundee to learn from. So, from here on out, if you happen to find […]
Sorry if your field trips as a kid weren’t as life changing as mine. Okay, maybe not life changing, but they may have been what I looked forward to more than anything! Wait, actually I think it was birthday parties, but field trips were a close second… As a kid I clearly remember field trips to […]
Ho ho ho! First semester is almost over (can you believe it) and it’s beginning look a lot like Christmas. So get yourself into town and check out what Dundee has to offer. Grab a crepe at the Christmas market and check out the lights at Caird Hall. I recommend a hot chocolate from Henry’s Coffee […]
Alright, so the end of the first semester and the end of the year are nigh, but you get my drift. Christmas is near; therefore, winter break is near! With the cooling temperatures, the “who turned out the lights?” darkness at 4pm, and finals coming up; do yourselves a favor and breathe! Walk away from […]
Hey there, Welcome to a new blog post! Over the past week I have been starting to get into the festive spirit even with the dark nights and looming assignments. Last Friday I was able to attend the light switch on in Dundee. Not only was it a great evening with Christmas songs playing and […]
What was once a simple countdown followed by illumination, is now a full night of light and celebration to kick off Dundee’s Christmas season. Beautiful pieces of art lit the streets, and stalls for food and craft lined Slessor Gardens. This year was a celebration of innovation, not only paying tribute to Dundee’s digital footprint […]
On Friday night the Dundee Christmas Tree’s lights were switched on, and I decided to go watch and see the event. Christmas is such a wonderful time of year and I personally love to see all the festivities. There was a carousel for the children and even a bus converted into a little Santa’s grotto. […]
Wow! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen myself here writing to you. Meanwhile, I’ve kept quite busy. In my Master’s program, I typically have 2 classes per week which are 3 hours each. That leaves me a lot of free time which I was pretty scared I would waste. Luckily, I have learned […]
Light Nights marked the finale of the Festival of Architecture 2016 and the beginning of the Christmas Season. Food vendors, craft sellers, and shops open later than normal with the promise of fireworks! Well… the fireworks were a bit of a let down, only because they had to cancel them about a minute into the […]
