The manic rush to Christmas...

We are now sprinting towards Christmas, with the shops playing Christmas carols at any opportunity and there is talk of getting calendar's in our flat. With Fresher's week being two months ago it seems scary how fast time has gone in the fact that Christmas is only one month away. Where has the time gone?



My parents are repeatedly telling me that students have too much time on their hands and that filling my days off and free hours will make the time fly. I took their advice and fill my days off with tasks and objectives then my free hours in between lecturers either working or spending time with friends in the SU. Now, I seem to blink and the weeks fade away.



I guess it's a good sign that I am thoroughly looking forward to my Christmas at home; to be back with my family and friends. As with all the assignments and presentations that are due in over the next month, I daresay Christmas is sooner than I think.



My very first blog...

It's funny, in today's society we are constantly talking about ourselves; our hobbies, friends and activities we enjoy doing. However, when faced with the idea of writing an "about me" suddenly my mind goes blank. So I'll keep this short and sweet.

My name is Emily Garner and I live in Cambridge. I have just started my next great adventure at Leeds Metropolitan University and am studying Public Relations. I am starting this blog because although I have met many other PR students on my course here, I am aware of all the other students at other universtites that I considered as well as possible future employers.

So far, I couldn't have asked for more from university. It's given me the opportunity to meet new people as well as allowing me to learn more about life in PR. I love that every day something new arrises and brings about a new challenge.

Many thanks,

Em
