Only 10 days!!!!! omg I can hardly believe it! Somehow it only just really sank in last night when I was lying in bed - I must have been lying there for an hour just bubbling with excitement and at the same time feeling that I haven't prepared half of what I should yet - which I know is not true, but that's my mind at 1am ( Read more... )
