And I didn't even get to choose my group because I was one of the sad people left without a group when everyone buddied up with their friends and then had to be inserted into a group by the TA.

We could have at least switched at the midterm. Boo. (And, also, yeah, I hate not having control over part of my grade. That was a lot harder in my ( ... )

Hi -- I wanted to leave a comment to say I'd friended you, since your journal looks interesting (and I don't like when people friend without dropping a comment). I hope you don't mind! :)

Ah, cool. :)

Oh, yes, I loved Once Upon A Time In The North. Lee and Hester are my favourite character from the series, so I was very excited to learn more about them. My mini-review is here (second paragraph).
