About Me

As of 2021, I’m currently studying for an MA in Classical Studies, as an (extra) mature student at the Open University.

Older than the average ‘mature’ student, but still got enough mental marbles to take advantage of a lifelong passion for British History, Ancient History & the History of Medicine and put them to good use by ongoing study.

Debsadac is a blog about my current journey in academia in pursuit of a Masters and details my years of studying for an undergrad with the Open University and a postgrad at the University of Leeds, both the highs and the lows and the in-betweens.  Click on About Me to find out more 😊
