I get a fair few questions from people about studying at the University of London. And it’s always a bit of a mouthful to explain that I’m studying at ‘the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine through the University of London’s distancing learning programme’…

While having a good break back in New Zealand, stumbled upon this great road sign.
To start with, I have to echo several of the other UoL Student bloggers. To say that my own study plans got mildly side tracked in the latter part of 2013 would be an understatement. My work with St. Joseph’s Hospice really took over but a new year, a fresh new perspective, and a month back home in New Zealand have helped me figure out how to find the balance.
It also means it’s really time to knuckle down!
