Life in Britain

Before I start apologies for the terrible header image, I’ll get a better one sorted when I’m not working full time and have some free time to trawl the internet for lovely high res images that show off the full beauty of the city.
 Right, now to continue with my little pieces for foreign students. Last [...]

Glasgow: A Quick Fire Tour

So many students are heading to our uni from China now and with the massive cultural differences between our two countries I thought I’d spend a few entries talking about the various misconceptions and truths about living in Glasgow as a student and what Glasgow is like as a city.
Firstly younger university life in particular [...]

Summer…where? When?

What glorious weather! My word, I am tanned and actually finding it too hot now. Has hell erupted in Glasgow forcing us into magma styles of heat?

I hear the arts faculty are getting essay questions out and by next week science should be handing out their essay questions to we lucky students. It’s strange but you get used to incessant work, my nights feel vaguely lost without essays [...]

Geography Completed!

Geography exam done, went well but as usual I’m remaining tight lipped on my hopes. Next up is Science Fundamentals on Tuesday, so the studying begins in earnest tomorrow for that. Nothing beats doing exams in this sodding weather but that’s one of the joys of Glasgow, you experience all weather types and wading through [...]
