Still talking about London, and I’m in business!
I can’t believe London was over a week ago – time is flying by so quickly this summer. As usual, almost all of my time has been spent writing my thesis. It is starting to come together after many hours, but there is still a lot of work to be done. Back to London! I ended…

A Whirlwind London Adventure
I’m back, and exhausted. It was a busy few days in the capital, though a welcome break from the drudgery of thesis writing. The Pathology Summer School was the central reason for my visit, and was definitely worthwhile. The Summer School was held in the Royal College of Pathologists HQ, overlooking the Mall (the drive…

Nodnol, 0 selim
And like many great things, my Londonian adventure began on the steps of the Albert Memorial, overlooking the Royal Albert Hall. Though that isn’t entirely true. It began when the plane landed in Heathrow, and I made my way onto the Underground. The modern, smooth-riding trains don’t have quite the same charm as the rickety-rackety old…

The Zoo (Condensed)
I’m picking up where I left off with the mortuary. An odd start to the day for most people, but I seem to gravitate towards weird situations. It was a beautiful day, sunny and in the mid-twenties – a stark contrast to the chill of the mortuary. The brief summer we get in this country…

First the morgue…then the zoo
This is getting bad. I was writing this post to address my problem with procrastination when it comes to the subject of writing, but I have successfully put it off for another week. I’ll try this again – see below for what I wanted to say last week: I should be writing non-stop over summer,…

Things to do in Budapest
I’ve had a couple of weeks to recover now after the adventure to Budapest, and I’m pretty much settled back into regular life. Commuting up and down to Belfast every morning isn’t that bad, unless it’s Moira at 5 o’clock, in which case I have been sorely tempted to get out of the car and…

Adventure Time!
Where do I even begin? This week has been action packed, with adventures stretching from Budapest to Donegal, though primarily Budapest. I spent three days in the city with Sarah earlier in the week, and they were some of the most touristy days I’ve ever had. We attempted to pack in almost every attraction you…

Comic-Con Con, and Games
Something has happened. I believe it is known as “Summer”, but it is rarely present in these parts, so I am currently writing in the park to make the most of the situation. I haven’t gotten round to writing in a while, thanks to assignment deadlines and a general lack of motivation, but I shall…

It’s Business Time (And June)
The end of exams may be drawing close for some, but my ordeal has only just begun. This summer is going to be spent doing labwork and writing my thesis, which I shall be trying to finish up as quickly as possible. This year has been good, but it has also been much busier than…

Essays, and the Terminator
3,297 words later, another essay bites the dust. This time I was writing about the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), covering what’s out there at the moment, and what’s in the pipeline. All I can say is, I’m glad it is over. My research project presentation is on Tuesday, and after that I get…
