Quicky: Oh hi!

Oooooh I'm terrible at keeping to any semblance of a blogging schedule... I'll try and refocus soon, but I've got a bucketload (make that 5 bucketloads... huge, nay enormous ones) of work to get through in the next couple of weeks.

B.Ed (Hons) is going well. Better once I've managed to hand everything in on time.

Gigs at the University are paying the rent but taking up a lot of time. Bitten of just a cheekful more than I can chew methinks. But such is life.

Finally getting that tooth crowned!

Social life = academics

Love life = 0

Later!
