Old Poem
Banging Playground WARNING: read at your own cringe. I made this poem when I was 11 years old (2007) for English class. I was notoriously terrible at poems. It’s foggy, we’re drowsy, with the sound of bangs; We’re crawling around the best we can.
Shouting, exploding, and pushing to the limit; It’s raining mud, the sun seems timid.
Sweaty, dizzy, and confused; The youths are rising and all bruised.
Undergraduate
Highlights of my Undergraduate degree Although this post was written in 2023, it is backdated to 2017. I started my Undergraduate degree at Aberystwyth University in 2014. Originally, I didn’t plan on leaving Liverpool, but I was - thankfully - persuaded by an IT teacher, who sparked my interest in computers.
I discovered that I learn best through working examples and assignments. When it came to exam season, I did struggle a little. With exams, to prepare I usually do revision in the repetition of past papers then compare my answers to “desired answers”. But the department didn’t release past papers and so I found an alternative through writing on cards and repetition of reading. During my Masters, one lecturer taught via “live” coding sessions and personally, this was one of the best teaching experiences.
