23/3/17 I’m working on a physical geography practical write up right now about glaciers and it’s really tricky because I’m not sure how I should be answering the questions! It’s due in at 2pm, and its 10am now so I’m going to knuckle down and get it done. I pressed a flower I picked the other week, and its sitting next to my thermos today. It has the quote that inspired the name for this blog on it! Yesterday I got a helix piercing and went and read the lord of the rings in the gardens, so it was a really nice day, but I didn’t get much work done! xxx emily

Some catching up on lectures about first order ODEs in the Maths common room!
This term I was so bad at actually going to lectures -_- slept in too many times… How do you guys make sure to stay disciplined throughout the term? Would love to hear some tips!

An old picture from back home when I was catching up on Mathematical Methods during the Christmas break!
I’ve been really liking dividing A4 notes into two columns for scientific modules since High school, idk why but it feels nicer to do maths in columns! What do you guys write notes on for science subjects?

An old revision sheet on functions!
It is already the second half of the first week of the break, time flies! I hope I manage to fit all my revisions in the break despite the unreasonable travellings I’ll be doing at the same time -_-
How do you guys organise your revisions for May exams?

NEW SERIES
I’ve gotten several messages asking about studying in Aberdeen and in the UK in general (which are always very welcome!), so I thought I would start a new series in which I chat a bit about my experience and answer some questions.
I’ll start off with one of the most common question I get:
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO GO TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN?
To give a bit of background, I am from the United States and have no family in or any personal connection with the UK. So choosing to study abroad may seem like an odd choice. To be quite honest, I never had a strong desire to study in Scotland; the opportunity arose and I thought: why not? Looking back on my decision, I probably should have thought more about it, though I don’t regret it for a second. Moving to a foreign country is difficult (cultural differences, currency change, distance from loved ones, etc.) but it is so worth it.
One thing that drew me to Aberdeen Uni was the linguistics department. I was lucky enough to meet one of the lecturers on a tour of the campus, Dr Robert Millar, and from there on I was sold. I have honestly loved every single one of my lecturers. And it doesn’t hurt that it is one of the best linguistics departments in the UK after Oxbridge.
Aberdeen Uni also has a beautiful campus. There are, like most unis, plenty of ugly, brutalist buildings but they’re made up for by King’s College and Sir Duncan Rice Library, amongst several others. Its nearby to the beach and Seaton Park, so you’re not entirely surrounded by ‘city.’ At the heart of Old Aberdeen, Aberdeen Uni is away from the bustling madness of the city centre, but not so far that you can’t enjoy the museums, shops, and restaurants that line Union Street. Is Aberdeen the prettiest city in Scotland? Probably not. It has a great deal of gray buildings and is primarily an industrial city. But there is also a great deal of beauty in it as well (as I hope my blog attests to!).
In short, would I recommend Aberdeen Uni? Absolutely!
