I completely forgot about this blog until one of my first years found it and tried to embarrass me with it today (it didn’t work, I have no shame). So anyway, third term was interesting, kinda fun but also a lot of work. I won’t go into a lot of detail on it because tbh it… Read More Final Term (ah)

So I’m too lazy today to do a helpful hint/guide to Duino post, and I doubt many people would see it anyway, so instead I’m just gonna do a short post with some of my favourite Italian musicians and bands, particularly from the north east of Italy. When I first came to Duino I knew… Read More Musica d’Italia

So tomorrow is the 1st August. Which means 26 days until I arrive back to Duino. I am both excited and hesitant. Although I enjoyed the vast majority of my first year and I’m sure I will also thoroughly enjoy second year, I am nervous. Second year is very different. You actually have to finish IB.… Read More 26 days – Ah shit

So I’ve been home for around 5 days now and I’ve been in a weird mood ever since I got back. It’s nice to be home and be able to relax, but then again I miss my other home, Duino, and am still conflicted about the fact I don’t know when I’ll see some of… Read More First Year – Finished

So it’s been a while since I posted here. I could blame having too much work, being too engrossed in UWCAd, but really it’s probably because I’ve been wasting all my free time napping. So what has happened since I last posted here? Here’s a quick list: Long Weekend EE Show Occidental Week Winter Friends… Read More Second Term

So it’s now been 26 days since I arrived at Trieste airport and started my journey at UWCAd. Already there have been extreme highs and lows, but in the end I wouldn’t change these past 26 days for the world. Getting to know so many people of so many different countries/cultures has already vastly increased… Read More First Few Weeks

So early tomorrow morning I am going down to London to visit my grandparents before I catch my flight from Stansted on Sunday, and I don’t know if I will have wifi down there so this will be my last post before I arrive at Adriatic (which I still can’t believe I’m going to). Anyway,… Read More 48 Hours To Go

So it’s a week to go. Seven days until this massive journey starts. Today I packed roughly 70% of my stuff and my god my suitcase is heavy, I’m just praying I can fit everything in and that it won’t be over the Ryanair weight limits. Since my last post I’ve also found out a… Read More A Week To Go

So tomorrow me, my mum and my sister are ditching my dad and going up to Yorkshire to see my grandparents one last time before I go to Italy. After that me and my sister are leaving our parents to go to Hungary to work at a holiday club (which we’ve done a few times… Read More Family Goodbyes

It’s currently 1am and I’ve just realised it’s exactly 1 month until I start my new life at UWCAD. Since my last post I have made a (very long) packing list of everything I’m going to take with me and am still figuring out how I will fit it all into one suitcase. I have… Read More One month to go.
