Hey everyone!
First of all, I want to thank you for those who came to the Applicant Visit Day on Saturday. I hope you had a great day, I certainly did, I enjoyed talking to you and to your parents, and thankfully, the weather was very nice which made the day even better.

It has been a very busy 2 weeks since my last post, as my sister came to visit me for five days. It was amazing: we had loads of social time with my flatmates who couldn’t have been more amazing, went out on Friday, went to Morecambe for a nice walk, and watched one of my friends play a football game. As I will not be able to go home until the end of June, it was so nice to have some sister time, and to show her what my life looks like here (not to mention all the Hungarian goods she brought me).

Since she left, I am trying to catch up with all the studying which feels like a mission impossible right now, but hopefully, I will manage all the essays, dissertation and seminar readings. I also met my dissertation supervisor to discuss my next step which was really helpful, as I now have a very clear idea how my dissertation is going to go. I started working in the pre-school after a long time, which is great; it’s so good to be back with the children.

Maybe it’s only for just a brief time but we’ve had quite a few beautiful sunny days here, in Lancaster (so we do get sun even during the winter ), which means spring is coming! I love this time of the year when the weather gets warmer and sunnier and the campus becomes very lively with students enjoying the sunshine. I already feel happier and more energised and I try to spend as much time outside as possible, when I catch up with friends on Alex Square (the main square of the uni) or go for a walk around the campus.

Next week will be very busy as well, as this time my friend from Hungary is visiting me for a few days, which is amazing, especially that she’ll be here on my birthday.

That’s about it for now. Have a lovely week, everyone!
