Hey everyone and welcome to today's video. My name is Megan and I'm a first year Geography
student studying here at Nottingham, and today I'm just going to bring you along with everything
that I get up to. It is a Wednesday today so I have a very busy morning like I always
do every Wednesday. So I'm just going to breakfast now, the time is 8:30.
I’m back from breakfast now, the time is 8:50 and I'm just getting ready for my workshop.
So every Wednesday morning I have a workshop that lasts two hours. Usually they're just
independent ones where you go through a workbook, but last week and this week we are actually
going into breakout rooms, so we’re being put into little groups where we can discuss.
So it's a bit more social and it's a nice way to meet people doing the course because
obviously this year that has been quite hard.
Most things this year are done by Microsoft Teams so I'm just going to join the Teams
call now.
Does anyone know what we’re doing? Ok yeah, that’s a good plan.
My workshop ended 45 minutes earlier than I thought it would just because we got all
the work done in our group so they said “okay you can leave.” I'm going to do just like
45 minutes/half an hour of lecture prep because I have like a lecture engagement which is
a Q&A session on Friday morning. To partake in that I have to watch the lectures and make
notes beforehand.
I did some work and it is 1 minute to 11, so I've got my tutorial now that's going to
last an hour. We have one every single week. There’s I think six of us or seven of us
in our group and we just have a personal tutor that we get to talk to. This week it's my
informal one so I didn't have any work to do for it whereas last week I had like a bit
of prep to do for it and then we discuss what we done. But this week I think it's just like
a little catch up to see you know how we doing both academically, socially, like your wellbeing
and stuff.
Yeah I don't really know. I think he mentioned that we have an assessment in February.
So the time is 12 o’clock and we’re going to get some lunch. We decided today it go
to Vesper at Willoughby which is another hall. I’ve never been there before and apparently
they do good pasta and we can use our meal cards there, which is basically our student
ID cards.
If you’re in catered halls that means you get lunch so you get a £25 to spend over
the week so you can go anywhere on campus.
I would really recommend Vesper at Willoughby if you're looking somewhere to eat on campus.
I've just got an hour before we're going on a little walk because it's important to just
get a bit of daily exercise. And I have a seminar on Friday so I need to do my reading
for that so I'm just going to sit and make some notes.
So the time is 2 o’clock and I’m now off on the little walk.
So I’m back from the walk, we had a really lovely time and now I'm just getting ready
to do an Instagram takeover for the Nottingham Instagram page, just talking about corona
and stuff. So if you watched that I hope that you found it informative.
It's now 4pm, the Instagram thing took a little bit longer than I thought but that it's okay
it's all done now, I'm happy with how it went. I want to finish off my seminar reading.
Right it is 5:30 and I'm off for dinner now and then after that we are going to watch
a film and have some hot chocolate, have a little Christmassy night in which will be
really cute. A little girly night, and then at 9pm we're going to get some snacks because
every 9pm apart from on Sundays, a few of the halls do snacks so we're just going to
walk to different hall to get some snacks. I think tonight is popcorn chicken but they do like
loads of different things so I'm really looking forward to that.
And now it’s 11 and I'm heading to bed. So I really hope that you enjoyed today’s
video, seeing what I got up to today and if you'd like to see more of my life at Nottingham,
you're very welcome to follow my YouTube channel, just search Megan Mahoney.
I hope that you’re all staying happy and safe and thanks for watching!
