Busy Busy January

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and New Year. As I said in my last blog post I went to China with the University of Bedfordshire Go Global team. It was a great experience and the food was second to none. Below are a couple of group photos at the Great Wall and the Summer Palace.

Now it's January and definitely time to get back to work. We have all submitted our essay for our dance psychology module and our presentation on future research ideas is coming up shortly. But first, Ellie has her practical assignment for her physical activity, nutrition and metabolic health module. This was an optional module and Ellie is the only dance scientist in the group, the other people on the module are studying related courses. Its great to have a cross over between MSc courses so that we get to meet lots of other people and experience different ways of teaching and learning outside of the dance world! 

Here is a photo of Ellie (left) and me (right) feeling nervous before her practical assessment where she will either be sampling my blood glucose or testing my rate of fat oxidation with a treadmill test. 

That's all for my blog entry this time as I have a lot of work to be getting on with! I look forward to posting again in February once my current deadlines have passed. 

The next blog entry will be written by Lindsay who is completing the course part-time. If you want to know more about part-time study then keep an eye out to hear about her experience so far.
