URGH.
Lower-amount days suck. All I’ve consumed today is Green Tea and a quarter of a can of soup. But, my belly is receding again, awesome.
Park End tonight, work work and haircut tomorrow. Then RENKA on Friday (as well as drinks with my Tutor. - yum)

Bug in a mug.
The frozen atmosphere has finally produced a splendid blanket of snow, provoking the need to run and get final supplies before the inevitable ‘Big Freeze’ destroys any possibility of venturing into the cool chill of the outside realm. But, where I remain is cosy enough - the fire is crackling noisily in the grate, sending out radiant pulses of warmth and dancing shadows across the...

First essay of the term, received well!
MY ESSAY IS DONE.
Had three days to do it (one of those days was taken up entirely by Exams), one was spent reading the massive stack of six thick books to read for it and today was spent entirely writing the bloody thing.

Did I mention how much I love Rome? This term is going to rock.

Obviously something to do with Molly, or else her role would be useless in the long run.
Even if he does actually die, doing another series may be disappointing.
lovewroteandwrit asked: Or just an effective memory at all, really! Mine is a sieve for anything useful, which isn't good when it comes to closed-book English exams :') x
