As the reverend concluded his echoing prayer of blessing for the Duke and Duchess on their one year wedding anniversary, I was looking at a stone with Charles Dickens' name on it, and reminiscing about my time there two years earlier. It has been over two years since I visited London, the first time being … Continue reading London Rewind

Leicester, Oxford, London
I guess it’s been about a month since I last updated. The first week or so of April I was still recovering from the chest infection, but it was a darn good excuse to stay in and rest, but also to get work done. We’re now fully into the dissertation period, and I have my … Continue reading Leicester, Oxford, London
The Queen visits Leicester!
While a few weeks late in writing this, I thought it deserved its own post. Anyway, this is for people back home who want to know what I'm up to these days, or for people who are curious. Here are some pictures taken between myself and my flatmate when Queen Elizabeth visited Leicester in March, … Continue reading The Queen visits Leicester!
A new month, a new update, and welcome to Spring Break!
I don’t know if I’ve already said this, but March has been one of the toughest months since I’ve been here. At the beginning of the month we were still in the early stages of group exhibition projects, summer internship placements were being decided, and the deadline for dissertation proposals was looming. I was thinking … Continue reading A new month, a new update, and welcome to Spring Break!
A Victorian Education
Once again, it has been awhile since I last wrote. I had just gotten back from Berlin, and had a few days off before new classes started. It had been a rough few weeks as I got the flu, was stuck in my room reading, and still jumped into a full on week of 9-5 … Continue reading A Victorian Education
CS Hike The Peak District
I went on another hike last weekend with a few British couchsurfers. The destination this time was the Peak District National Park, and we were fewer in number because it was going to be a more intense hike... I thought I'd have no problem. I got picked up at 8:30am on a Sunday morning and … Continue reading CS Hike The Peak District
Happy New Year from Leicester!
Hello All, After a surprise visit home and a week-long trip to Ireland, I have made it back safe and sound to Leicester, ready to start classes tomorrow. It’s been a fun few weeks, but will get very busy from here on! Just before the break I had gone on another hike in Leicestershire, but … Continue reading Happy New Year from Leicester!
CS Hike Bosworth Battlefield
Did another hike a few weekends ago, with a few couchsurfers. The weather was a bit colder, but we took the bus from Leicester to a tiny town called Market Bosworth, about an hour by bus. From there we hiked through fields to reach the site of the battle of Bosworth, and the visitor center … Continue reading CS Hike Bosworth Battlefield
We’re 2 months in!
Hello everyone, It’s been 2 weeks so I thought it was time to update again. I’ve had a few more travels since we last talked, and we’re just getting into our 2nd ‘module’, this one being more the practical running of a museum. I’ll try to give a brief rundown. While I may not have … Continue reading We’re 2 months in!
Less study, more travel.
Hello and Happy Sunday, I know at least one person has been wondering when I was going to update again. I'm 5 weeks away from Christmas break now, and I've just had a relaxing "reading week". I ambitiously finished my essay a week in advance, so I've had this entire week to myself, and took … Continue reading Less study, more travel.
