HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS, THE HUNGER GAMES. ASDFDGHJ I CAN'T EVEN.

Sorry about the caps lock. I'm just so overstimulated, I had a slushie that tasted like Christmas pudding (I think there might have been vodka in it, I'm not sure) and only 4 hours of sleep and I'm doing that thing where I live vicariously through fictional characters and it is exhausting!

Hola! I'm back at uni and already falling asleep in class, mostly because I have maths (statistics) at 8am. And today I had eight hours of uni with five hours of tutorials/practical lessons which require, y'know, proper thinking and stuff so I'm totally exhausted. Being a proper Science student is so hard. I want to go back to my Arts hours but I ( Read more... )

You know what really annoys me lately? How all book recommendations for YA novels direct me towards books with black covers and stupid titles like Haunted or Blood Lust. Grr. I just read this completely depressing book by Sara Zarr called Sweethearts which is far less light-hearted teen romance and more 'I need a box of tissues now' kind of fiction ( Read more... )
