In memorum of Thomas

Well, it's been a long and busy week so I think it's best if I just explain what has been going on in Chronological order. 

So last Thursday, I was lucky enough to be invited to talk about mental health at a PG level. It was very humbling to open up and talk about what I went through over the previous terms. The event was very well attended and the free pizza was very delicious. 

You may also notice the green T-shirt. This was because I was taking part in the faculty games straight after. The faculty challenge was a game-show inspired event where the 4 faculties, our educational partners and the random members of staff that didn't belong in any of the faculties duked it out for glory. Games included a bizarre cross between  Hungry Hippos and a wheelbarrow race (I managed to lift a whole 18 stone+ man for 2 minutes plus #MissBigGuns), a bizarre version of taboo, a feeding challenge and an obstacle course. Team ADH came last that day (I don't know why given we won 1 event and came 2nd in multiple events and got extra points. I shall ask Derrick during his scrutiny). Despite the fact we came last, I left the event with a giant smile on my face and the event was incredibly good fun.

Then on Monday, I took part in the Light the Night protest where I and approximately 50-60 additional students/staff marched in solidarity to highlight issues regarding how women are treated in the 21st Century and the importance of reporting sexual harassment. 

Then today, I visited the Spring Welcome Week which had a variety of freebies. I also got to meet a variety of different socieities, some of whom are below.

Hong Kong Society

Street Law society.

When I wasn't scoffing the free food, I was starting to plan my postgraduate conference. This will be taking place in September and the current vision is a variety of talks during the day which then concludes with an evening celebration with pizza and copious amounts of alcohol (the alcohol is optional). I am currently discussing logistics when it comes to things like room books so I will discuss this further once we have something set in stone.

As you can see, I have been nice and busy this week. I shall hopefully be seeing some of you at my network on the 22nd February 2018 at 5pm.

Until I write again next week folks,

Toodle pips,

Kelly Davies

PS, I've titled my blog entry after Thomas, the bisexual goose who unfortunately died at the 40 years old.
