BRIANNA! I'm so very happy she's in. Turns out Australia might have taste this year, because Holly got through as well. They were the two most deserving from last night for sure ( Read more... )

GRARRRR! Major essay done and mailed with 30 minutes to spare. GRARRRR!

Take that, sleep! Take that, working overtime! Take that, family obligations! Take that, TV addiction! I can BEAT YOU ALL!

*ahem*

Now I just hope I passed the thing.

Annnnd we return to do it all again for another class next week. It's like I don't know my own bed anymore.

I'm starting to get into something resembling a routine juggling work and study and family now. Not panicking quite so much. And at least the readings made more sense this week.
