Hey everyone, hope you are all well. It’s currently the Easter holidays for us at York, however the word “holiday” always seems to irritate me as it symbolizes peace and relaxation but since about Year 9 these end of term breaks have consisted, for the most part, of revision and assignments. It’s not the best feeling … Continue reading Managing a “holiday” and work
Hey everyone!! To start this post I’ll tell you about a revelation. Some may call it an epiphany, while some may not. I AM HALFWAY THROUGH MY DEGREE!!! That, my friends, is a scary fact! When I think that some of my closest friends and I didn’t even know each other less than 2 years … Continue reading It’s the small things
Hope you all had a wonderful winter holiday. I spent mine predominantly cooped up surrounded by work revising maths and electronic circuit theory for my January exams. If you had exams I really hope that they went well for you. I’m sure you did the best you could! However it’s 2017! A new year and … Continue reading Typical day of an second year electronics student
So when I was deciding which university was for me I turned to a tried and tested method – a pro-con list for each university.

The city is absolutely beautiful, which is actually quite dangerous when you have to navigate the roads filled with a million and one bicycles plus … Continue reading Electric Amsterdam
The spring term has come to an end and I am so ready for a nice relaxing holiday, though obviously not without some prep for the summer exams.

Spring term is now well under way, I should be getting exam results any day now and I am a little bit tense for it. Work wise, the bulk of this term has been learning VHDL in the Further Digital Electronics module. VHDL is a hardware description language used for designing digital circuits. I’m finding … Continue reading Spring Term so far
Well exams are finally over! I hope my time at university doesn’t give me a lasting association of Christmas with revision. But I have the weekend to relax now. I have to say that this festive period wasn’t improved by the fear of flooding, before I went away the river had already burst its banks, … Continue reading Wading Through a Winter Waterland
Well week 8 has come to a close, last year this term seemed like an age, now university life just seems to be going faster and faster. I blinked and two months had shot by.
