Written by Martha Kent and Maisie Lloyd Hi Everyone! Hope you’re all staying safe and happy during these weird times.  Just as a little disclaimer, none of this is intended to offend/upset anyone at all. We do not know everything, and none of this is to say we are correct, this is simply some thingsContinue reading “Let’s Talk About Mental Health”

Hey! Theatre has always been a way of exploring different ways of life and the experiences that people go through, whether it be believable or not, its one of the most popular ways of entertainment.

Hard to believe, I know, I’ve reached that point where I’m relying on my iPhone to tell me what day it is because I’ll be honest, otherwise I’d have no idea. However, this won’t feel like a holiday to most of us, as for theContinue reading “The One Where We All Take A Break”

Living at home with no commitments to the outside world, sounds like bliss – right? Well if you’re anything like me, that is your worst nightmare. As all those in the department know, I’m always around on campus. Whether that be at work, in the Gulbenkian, or at the gym, I’m never in my houseContinue reading “Managing Online Lectures & Maintaining a Routine”

Well…this is an odd situation, isn’t it? Last week we were confronted with the news that the university were closing, with all teaching suspended for the remainder of Trimester 2.
