Hello LJ. Let me share my exam paper from today with you, which I'm totally counting as #8 on my #100things list. (I would tell you to think of it as a birthday present, but I'm not quite that bad a friend ( Read more... )

Guess who's got to hand in her extended essay in twelve-and-a-half hours and still has ~3000 words to go? :D
