It’s great to be back in Newcastle – on the first day of summer, the recommencement of uni in September seems a long way away, but it always comes round surprisingly quickly.  As I drove back up to Newcastle for my third and final year, I found myself wondering where on earth the time has gone – it certainly doesn’t feel like two years since I arrived in Newcastle as a fresher.   Sentimentality aside however, the start of the year has been super hectic.   With new modules and a dissertation to get my head round, I’m already spending far more time than I’d like in the library.  I’m also running the Law for Non-Law Society and the Politics Running Club this year, on top of applying for various graduate schemes, so I’ve got a lot on my plate, but that’s the only way I’d have it – it keeps me busy and the less time spent lounging on the sofa the better, right?  It helps that everyone else on the course is in the same situation – there’s a realisation that we need to work hard this year if we want to do well, so there’s are plenty of familiar faces in the library.  And ultimately, the hard work put in should all be worth it – hopefully…
