A mosquito bit me on my butt! :( TRYING NOT TO SCRATCH! Tak glam!
A bunch of us blew up in Lit class today at our most inefficient lecturer! We traveled all the way to uni for a two-hour class that ended one hour early, and then we spent ten [...]

It’s bloody 10.30am and I’m so freaking angry.

My weak excuse was that he’s already just recovering from a bout of viral fever from [...]

Strength?
What is strength?
How do I live without you?

Last day at school.
Back to university on Monday.

Life moves too fast for my liking.
Tired, headachey, and grumpy as hell about missing my Puppy. Very. Grumpy.
