Wrapping up 2013
What happened to the year? It seems like no time at all since I was following around pathologists in Altnagelvin back in January, or on the wards in the city hospital, bothering patients. The summer flew by; undoubtedly because I spent most of it in the labs. Time is a funny thing. I can remember…

The Year in Review (Not my year, but a year according to WordPress)
Yes, a new year is upon us, and we must painstakingly change all the tiles in the terrible fixed calendar; a calendar that is so useless, I might add, that it requires another calendar to be correctly set. The big news here is a “three” changing to a “four”, haunting those completing important forms at…

Christmas Eve
Everything is set. The turkey is brining, the trifle is assembled, the parsnips and potatoes are thoroughly “gratin-ed”, the sauces are mainly made, and the ham is baked. Oh, and the sourdough bread is baked. It has been a busy day, with lots of cooking and cleaning, but Christmas day is almost upon us. Or…

So this is Christmas…2013
This year has been a mixed one as far as writing is concerned. It feels as though I haven’t had the same time, though in reality, I haven’t made the time that I would have before. There has been lots of other fun stuff going on, but the blog has fallen behind somewhat. Add to…

Papers, Please…just no essays
Writing, for me, has become exactly what I was trying to avoid. A chore. This semester has been a lot busier than I expected. Who ever said a Masters was supposed to be hard work? Three 3,000 word essays, two presentations, and long lab days in between, and my project is yet to yield any…

Sad Times and Halloween
Last week was completely hectic. I’ve spent most of this week winding down after it, and sorting out things I didn’t manage to get done. My grandmother passed away on the 27th of October, and it just so happened that some of my relatives were coming over to visit for Halloween on the Wednesday of…

Busy Times, and the end of the Trip
I can’t believe it has been over a month since my last post. Much has happened since then, and I have been largely non-stop since my return from America. September was a busy month, with a lot going on. I should probably recap the end of my holiday first, before I forget everything. America, continued Originally, we…

The American Dream…of sorts
American Dream Things have been pretty busy, and the time is flying by. I had meant to write a lot more, but by the time I got back to the house and ate, I was too tired to think about anything else. I’m remembering something…something awesome. Sitting in the back of a pickup truck, wearing…

Canoeing and Adjusting
I’m pretty good with jet lag. Being young helps a lot, and slipping into a normal routine as soon as possible. This time it was easy, as we arrived in the evening, but last year our flight came in before lunchtime, and we had a full day ahead of us. The first full day has…

On the Road (In the Sky)
It has been a somewhat stressful few hours, packed with psuedo-deadlines and other drama, but we’re just about to board our flight to Chicago. I am now officially excited! The first flight is 8-ish hours, then a stopover in Chicago before heading on to Portland. I’ve been rediscovering the joys of airport pricing, where it…
