Essay
I just wrote my essay for Spanish. I ended up writing 600 words for a 400-word essay; I hope she won’t mind. I’m very proud of myself. It was an excellent rant, whether or not it was good Spanish. I’d … Continue reading

Quantum+Laundry
I attempted to do laundry and quantum today, and succeeded in doing laundry. I looked through the quantum problem sheet, but all the questions looked so imposing that I ran off screaming, more or less. Fitz Buttery isn’t open on … Continue reading

Delayed
Now that I’ve woken up again… Play: The rendition of Romeo and Juliet was very entertaining. It was sold out, as were all showings, and I only had a seat because Tom had bought tickets two days ago. As it … Continue reading
