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... Read Arcticle
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’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
So on Saturday 15th December Miami had it’s first home football game with a 12PM kick off. The day started bright and early at 9AM after I was told that tailgating occurs before every football game. So what’s tailgating!?! Everyone who is fortunate enough to have a car – so everyone in America – parks up outside the stadium in... Read Arcticle
Day 4 : Onwards to Boston Prior to waving good bye to New York we noticed an event with a number of nearby street closures; the event was known as “Summer Streets”, an annual event where residents can partake in running and cycling giving a different perspective of New York without the traffic – it was far too hot/humid for...
