Over the last few weeks I’ve been busy doing the usual outdoorsy activities that I normally post about; namely a week or so ago I went cycling in the everglades with the CORPS club (who organise all these trips). This trip was particularly good, as there was just 4 of us chose this activity, it  gave us the opportunity to... Read Arcticle

Originally I was only going to write about spring break but then I realised it’s been a while (again) since my last post and I must have done some other interesting stuff in between.   So I went back searching through my Facebook chat, strong in the knowledge that I’d sent someone a rather long passage that I should have...

Quick news update: CORPS, a society/club on campus, released their spring semester calendar of events. I was quick off the mark replying to the trips I wanted to attend, as it’s a first come first served basis and frankly I really enjoy the trips. The events I signed up for included: 15 mile cycle in the everglades, snorkeling, deep sea fishing,... Read Arcticle

Well nothing too exciting has happened in the past few weeks since I last made a post. Christmas presented a great opportunity to meet  up with people I hadn’t seen in a while, which was nice before returning to Miami. Coming back I flew via Lisbon, not the most convenient route I know, but seemed to work out cheaper with... Read Arcticle

I’d like to start by apologising for the lack of posts.  It seems quite ridiculous to me that the last post was on November 8th, no doubt this was the most fun I’ve had, but other things have occurred since. To name just a few things off the top of my head. I’ve been kayaking down in the keys again which brought... Read Arcticle

Quick side note before I get into the story of Key West. Whilst watching the election projection results on Tuesday night (06/11/2012) Google Student Ambassador’s were running an American Trivia quiz with prizes. Funnily enough I correctly answered one of the questions and won a Google water bottle! Shame really I would have really liked those Google shoes they had... Read Arcticle

I’ve been meaning to write a blog post on this for a while – not really sure where the time is going but there is only about 3 weeks of classes left before revision/study week and then finals! Anyhow on the Friday 19th October Lupe Fiasco paid a visit to UM. UM being UM gave us the concert free of... Read Arcticle

Today, 11th October 2012, Obama paid a second visit to the University of Miami – an exciting opportunity! Two days prior to the event I sat in the queue for a ticket for over two hours with a strong will that I was sure going to see him this time round after not getting the opportunity last time. After those... Read Arcticle

Last weekend, 6th October, I went paddle boarding with a club known as CORPS (does all sorts of outdoor activities; I happened to sign up for them all :p). For those of you who don’t know what paddle boarding is it’s similar to a large surf board with extra buoyancy, the aim is to stand on it and use a paddle to move... Read Arcticle

Last Saturday on 29th September I woke up bright and early for the excitement of a trip to Universal Studios. The mood was slightly dampened by the fact I had to wake up at 5am with only 3 – 4 hours sleep and then sit on a coach for 4 hours to get to Orlando – who would have thought... Read Arcticle
