Lucky me, I got to attend the graduation ceremonies for my Masters course at the University of Leicester this past weekend. I graduated with a Masters in Museum Studies 'with Distinction', alongside the rest of my classmates from around the world.

Welcome to Exeter!
Hello everyone and greetings from Exeter! Last weekend I moved down to the South West of England, to start my two month work placement at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum (RAMM). I’ve had the good fortune of amazing weather all week, my host is nice, and my work placement has gotten off to a slow but … Continue reading Welcome to Exeter!
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!

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.

Update #2 in Leicester
Hiya everyone, It’s strange for me to think that I am a third of the way through the first part of my course. It’s only a 6 week long session, but I don’t feel like I’ve hit my stride just yet. Here’s what’s happened since I wrote about a week and a half ago... I … Continue reading Update #2 in Leicester
