Saturday the 31st of August 2013 was the day I made The Big Move- a day which many of you may be experiencing this weekend. I actually don’t remember much from the actual day which is a little sad as it’s probably one of the most important days of my life so far. I do […]
Hello, Scotland! It has been a whirlwind five days since landing at the airport in Edinburgh, chalk full of massive jet lag, slightly manic-styled over-tiredness, errands, errands, and oh! more errands! And a wee bit of playing tourist. It’s easy to get wrapped up in getting our things together, especially for international students having to […]
The past couple of weeks have been a bit of a mini-heatwave here in Dundee (sunniest city in Scotland, and all that) so we took full advantage of the sunshine-burning ourselves in the process- and decided to take a wee trip over to St. Andrews. St Andrews is a tourist hotspot and well-known throughout the […]
As I’ve said before, we are on a mission this summer to do as many exciting activities as possible on my, seemingly, very rare days off from work. So as I had two days off in a row, we decided to go camping of all things. Having grown up in Glasgow and being relatively adverse […]
After a few weeks of essay preparation and presentation work, the MLitt Comics Studies students set off to Leeds this weekend for Thought Bubble – Leeds’ own Comic Con. Brace yourselves, there’s a long post ahead! We set off on our long coach ride from Dundee bus station at 9.30am, with a brief cross-over in […]
Thank goodness for rail cards! I’ve spent my Reading Week the only way I know how – doing anything but reading! Last weekend I took a trip down to Glasgow to visit friends from my undergrad course and catch up on all the news and gossip from the central belt! A lot of pizza and […]
Just as my fellow bloggers are settling in and exploring Dundee, I appear to have spent the last couple of weeks doing anything but! I’m a keen traveller, and often get itchy feet staying in one place too long. That is one of my favourite aspects of Dundee though; not only is it a great […]
I do! Doesn’t matter if I’m travelling to another country on a holiday or just to the other end of the country, I don’t like packing. Probably because I’m not sure on what to take or even how to pack. I wish I had one of those powers where you swing a wand or just […]
Whilst I’m not technically an international student, having lived abroad for the last 13 or so years, I do sort of feel like one, albeit with the advantage that English is my mother tongue, and a greater familiarity with the UK than your average foreign student. As a mature student who’s moving to Dundee permanently […]
I am not currently in Dundee. Why? I am on holiday, and therefore I am spending my time in London, to see the boyfriend. We have just returned from Crete (the same place that we went to last year) which was awesome as well as my first time (excluding cruises) of staying with an all […]
