Etsy shop for Miyala Jewellery

www.etsy.com/shop/MiyalaJewellery

This is a shameless, shameless plug but I'm so excited that I couldn't care less.

I've been involved in Miyala since I've been at uni and have run the project for almost two years. Today, we launched our online shop and if you've got a few minutes, then please take a look!

Miyala is a jewellery enterprise that makes and sells jewellery using recycled materials. High-street retailers often send broken and unsold jewellery to landfill and we wanted to do something to stop this. To date, we've saved over 300kg of jewellery from this fate. Our members break everything apart and use their creativity to produce beautiful and unique pieces of jewellery. All our profits go towards our sister social enterprises at Enactus Sussex.

10,000!

10,000 pageviews! And only a very small fraction are mine, I promise!

Thanks to all who have been reading, whether you've follwed the blog from the start and read every post, or you stumbled across it accidentally last week - it means a lot to me.

Lots more reviews to come (I have to work through the 'Recently read' column on the right-hand-side!) and I'm trying to be more orderly about posts and upload them Mondays and Thursdays. Keep a look-out and happy reading!

Bring on Summer!

The weather has been perfect this last week, my exams are finished and I'm FREE!

Today has been a productive day. My alarm was set for 6.15 because I was still a little paranoid from the night before that my brain was scarily taking on sieve-like characteristics. I had breakfast while spending a couple of hours of cramming and I was as ready as I would ever be. Law students aren't particularly known for their love of Equity & Trusts, especially since it's not law when compared to everything else we learn, but boy was that a nice exam.

Added to that I had a productive meeting, have organised my whole year's worth of notes within an inch of their lives, ticked three huge items off my to-do list that have been waiting to be done for weeks, and am almost done sending my final round of applications for summer internships.

Reviews are next on the list. I'm still feeling super-productive and motivated and so I might as well jump-in and get them done while I can. BRACE YOURSELVES.

Exam Hiatus

I'm prone to putting Enactus ahead of my degree, and any committed Enactus student across the world will be sympathetic and admit to doing the same. Why do I do it? Because as much as I love my degree, it doesn't give me anywhere near the same satisfaction I get from doing Enactus. I might only run our commercial project and thus have only an indirect impact on the lives of our beneficiaries, but to me, it doesn't make a difference.

As competition season is making its way across the globe, I'm nothing short of relieved that the UK held its Nationals first, so that I can actually focus on my exams. As much as I lived and breathed the competitions during the three months of preparations and couldn't imagine going back to real work, exam season is upon us and there's no denying it. In two weeks time, I will have sat my first exam with three more to go. I'm normally pretty calm when it comes to exams, essays etc and so it's when I start to get worried that I should be REALLY worried - I'm worried.

Basically, this is a long-winded way of saying: don't expect any new reviews or blog posts etc before 6 June. As much as I need to catch up with my backlog, second year actually counts and I want at least one first amongst my four modules!

Good luck revising to anyone else who has exams!
