ive had a nice little break between deadlines which has given me a chance to really focus on my last exam of the year, for my soviet experiment module. i’d always take a coursework style essay over an exam (even open book like this one will be), but at least getting a choice of questions means i get to pick the areas to focus on in revision. as you can tell (if you can read my handwriting), i tend to be drawn to social histories more than anything else, so i’m hoping some good questions come up!

I need some advice! Does anybody run/contribute to an online blog? Me and a friend are thinking of putting something together for mini essays/articles/thoughts, but honestly I don’t have a clue where to start and any tips would be amazing!

back at my uni house! so good to be back and getting lots more work done, which is a relief since exams are nearly here! newcastle weather means blue skies one minute and heavy rain the next, but i’m enjoying being able to go for walks more often than last term now the evenings are warmer and lighter

module selection for stage three is creeping up, so i spent most of yesterday trying to wrap my head around the very specific regulations and pick modules to balance my credits properly! finally managed to put together a balance that will work and i’m so excited for preregistration to go ahead, there are some great options that i’m so excited to take!!

exams are coming up!! spent most of today enjoying the sun (16° and sunny in england in april?? practically barbecue weather) and drawing up a plan of the next few months until the end of the semester to help visualise how long i have until deadlines. naturally this stressed me out so i spent an hour or two looking at past papers and guidance for one of my exams to feel a bit more prepared! how are other people feeling about exams?

Spent most of today working on a plan for a case study due tomorrow (oops) for my politics of the middle east module. enjoying the sunny weather and my view of a lovely tree in blossom!

thought i’d kick off my return by sharing what i’m listening to while i study. today i’m doing research for a case study for my politics of the middle east module, and i’m enjoying the summery aesthetic of the magic gang with the few days of sunshine we seem to be getting at the minute!

I’m back!!

I guess I disappeared for a while, but I’m back! I have a billion notifications and the apps changed a fair bit, I’m not sure I’ve been on in nearly a year, so I’m just slowly getting reacquainted. I used to be mostly active in my main @thegreatghostsby which I might pick up again, but for now I’ll mostly be active here.

I’m half way through my second year of uni now, studying for my BA in History & Politics, and still loving my course but desperately needing motivation. I first made this blog to motivate myself to revise for my GCSEs (four whole years ago!!) so it seemed natural to come back see if blogging my studies helps like it has before. What kind of posts are you guys after?? It’s nice to be back:) x
