*~*~*
I'm just so excited, wanting to get on with next year and learning new things and choosing unis and meeting friends and generally having a total ball, because everyone keeps telling me it's only going to get harder and that I might as well enjoy it now, and I intend to. XD
What have been yoru favourite moments of the year, either personal or fandom-wise? The latter for me has to be discovering Green Wing and now Grey's Anatomy, and also Mr Tennant as the Doctor. Long may they rein! ;)
