Returning to Bristol for second year brings with it a variety of emotions. It is somehow as daunting as arriving for the first time exactly a year ago! Knowing that this is the year where all your work counts towards…

Back to Bristol
After a slow and not-too-warm summer, I returned to Bristol on September 1st. I knew that this final year would be a hectic one, what with being on two committees and with a dissertation and all, so I came back…
Third Year = Fear Year
