A week of reflection β Iβve decided to withdraw from my MA in Naval History. Confidence and time just arenβt where they need to be right now.
Naval historyβs still my passion, I just want to enjoy it again without the pressure. βοΈ

Had a few knocks back recently.
I tried my hardest but it wasn't enough as I unfortunately don't interview particularly well.
I'm heading down to the coast to spend a few days at Sea!
Time to post down to Southampton and treat myself to inside tickets.

Thereβs something magical about reading a historical book that is itself part of history. The scent of old paper, the feel of worn pages, itβs an experience like no other.
