I’m 25 and have become a student again after a 3 year gap year which I spent working in various temp jobs and travelling around Asia, including a year spent teaching English in South Korea. I also enjoy martial arts although I haven’t practiced in over a year now. I try to get to the gym whenever I can, though not nearly as much as I’d like.

I’m currently studying for an MA in history at Lancaster University and am (kinda) looking forward to starting my PhD in October this year.

Well hopefully I’m good at studying otherwise the next three years are going to be a bitch. I also like to think I’m good at throwing myself into new things even when they absolutely terrify me

Books: There are too many to name, but here are some of my particular favourites: Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Shadow of the Wind, Animal Farm, 1984, Farenheit 451, the Millennium Trilogy, Brave New World, the Kite Runner, a Thousand Splendid Suns, State of Fear.

Movies: Again too many to name, so here are some special mentions: Dirty Dancing, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Inglorious Basterds, Blood Diamond, Star Trek, Inception, the Adjustment Bureau, Grease, Schindler’s List and pretty much all superhero movies.

Shows: CSI, Criminal Minds, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Scrubs, Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Doctor Who, Fawlty Towers, One Tree Hill, 24, Outnumbered, Gavin and Stacey, and most comedy.

Music: I like all kinds of music and my Ipod covers all genres but rock music such as Nickelback, Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, Alice Cooper, Rainbow, Aerosmith, Kiss, Def Leppard, ACDC and Whitesnake tend to dominate.

Food: I like all food…and will try just about anything!

Baths – I love bubble baths!

I think about anything and everything… it’s hard to pin down one thing.
