Samuel Kenneth Baddoo – “From Accra To Casablanca: A Journey To The Land Of The Setting Sun”

Matthew Graham – “Stress”
So this week has been extremely hectic as Mid-term exams are just around the corner and they seem to have snuck up on me this term. I was completely taken by surprise when I found that they were so soon. And, in my panic to … Read More
Ray Wilson – “My Fictional Odyssey (Part Two)”
Hello there dearest reader, how are you? Welcome to the second edition of My Fictional Odyssey; thanks for joining me. Last time around I tackled Tom Sawyer and a small collection of films – mostly modern, I’m ashamed to say. This time around, though, I’m … Read More
Anabella Rojas – “America, Land Of Opportunity”

Ray Wilson – “The Wonderful Web”
I love the Internet; it’s brilliant. Endless resources, options, opportunities – the works. If I want to order free shampoo samples, learn about piracy and marvel at a chimpanzee being filthy… I can do it. And not only that, I can do it in mere … Read More
Christian Petersen – “New Year, Ends And Beginnings”
My December was filled with anticipation and, towards the end, somewhat loaded with relief. I was coming to terms with the end of my third semester and its requirements. On top of that I was stressing to make the last points on my to-do list … Read More
Matthew Graham – “Home For Christmas”
