So welcome to, a day in the life of Pollyanna, a second year English Language and Linguistics student.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.00am \u2013 first lecture in 1 hour!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The time of your lectures are will depend on your timetable. Yours will differ to everyone else on your course, especially as you continue your degree and pick the modules you are particularly interested in. In first year your modules are largely chosen for you, giving you a flavour of lots of different things to help you figure out what you want to pick in second year. Oh and also you will have 9.00am&#8217;s occasionally, sorry!<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.00am \u2013 Language Turn and Sequence Lecture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In second year we had two modules for Autumn Term (one compulsory and one own choice) and then four modules for Spring\/Summer Term (one compulsory and three own choice). One module that I\u2019m really enjoying this term is Language Turn and Sequence. We have a one-hour lecture and a two-hour practical each week, looking at the structure of conversation in different environments. The lecture on\u00a0Tuesday morning is a small group of about 35 students all listening to our lecturer on a topic we\u2019ve done reading preparation for. In the practical the following morning we go over exercises that were set from the lecture and discuss further reading.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3061\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3061\" style=\"width: 169px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/Snapchat-4418825826037453353.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3061 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/Snapchat-4418825826037453353.jpg?resize=169%2C300\" alt=\"Snapchat-4418825826037453353\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/Snapchat-4418825826037453353.jpg?resize=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1 169w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/Snapchat-4418825826037453353.jpg?resize=576%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 576w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/Snapchat-4418825826037453353.jpg?w=540&amp;ssl=1 540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3061\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mmmm look at that burger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>12.00 noon \u2013 Time for an early lunch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Working out little breaks for yourself during the day is really important so that you can stay alert (and awake!) in each lecture. Tuesday is a busy day for me with three lectures fairly close to each other, so I often bring a packed lunch to campus or head to a York University Student Union (YUSU) caf\u00e9\/bar for lunch. Today I went to Courtyard and had a well-deserved chicken burger!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.00pm \u2013 Intermediate Syntax Lecture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All students taking pure linguistics (and most taking linguistics as a part of a joint degree) have\u00a0to take Introduction to Syntax in their first year. I remember my lecturer last year saying this module really is like marmite: you absolutely love it or you sickeningly hate it! Luckily, as you can probably tell by the fact that I carried it on, I love it! In second year you have an hour seminar and an hour lecture every week. You listen to new ideas and theories in the lecture, ready to discuss exercises in the seminars. Syntax is largely theoretical but very systematic: I\u2019d highly recommend it for those who are logical and love problem-solving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.00pm \u2013 Law and Language Seminar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One really nice thing that lots of courses at York offer is the opportunity to take an elective. An elective is a module from another department that you take as credit for your own degree. Law and Language is a module based in the Law School and available to both linguistics and law students. It\u2019s all about how language is used in legal contexts like documentation, court rooms and trademarking. It\u2019s really nice to get a taste for something different for 2 hours each week, but also really challenging as the majority of the work is self-taught from readings and research.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.00pm \u2013 Time to head home<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All lectures officially finish at 6.00pm on campus, but sometimes you\u2019ll get days when you finish earlier. I&#8217;m living quite close to campus this year so it\u2019s nice being able to walk home at 5.00pm ready to make dinner before I have to head out for a rehearsal!<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.00pm \u2013 Fiddler on the Roof Rehearsal<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3062\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3062\" style=\"width: 247px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/2016-12-01-14.38.42.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3062\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/2016-12-01-14.38.42.jpg?resize=247%2C247\" alt=\"2016-12-01 14.38.42\" width=\"247\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/2016-12-01-14.38.42.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/2016-12-01-14.38.42.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/2016-12-01-14.38.42.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/2016-12-01-14.38.42.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/2016-12-01-14.38.42.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3062\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our first meet and greet for Fiddler on the Roof!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You probably know by now that I absolutely love getting involved in every opportunity possible at university.
