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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

What did I miss?
Hello again, dear readers, whoever you are… Thanks to a massively busy summer, I’ve been writing less now than when I had barely any free time during the school year. I suppose that should read “university” – I really don’t get why people decide they won’t call university school any more. It just is, end […]
