Well, this summer certainly hasn’t progressed as expected!

This was supposed to be the post where I remark on how wonderful it is to be able to walk again, but…the surgeon wants me to stay on crutches until September, so no can do!

I’m moving into my new gaff over the next few days, but my housemate to be is currently having the time of his life in Asia! Tip: don’t attempt to buy/rent a house when your co-tenant is abroad, it’s a logistical nightmare.

As my PhD year draws closer, I’ve signed up to tutor two groups of undergraduate students in GEO1096, which I’m quite excited about. I had Simon Tate as a first year and know the importance of having a decent mentor, so it’s also quite daunting!

But I am looking forward to passing on my pearls of wisdom as to how to survive as a geography student.
