This whole month has been insane. My thesis is due on October 16th (which is REALLY close) and for the past two-three weeks I have been staying late at uni in the office to write. It has become pretty normal to start the day at 9am at uni, and not get home til midnight, if not later, because I am writing. It.is.INSANE. And I am going insane. But this thesis is going to be written, and it is going to be good..no...Great....no...BRILLIANT!!!!

Considering you are so busy at uni, you seem to have done an awful lot of other stuff!!
Hmm I guess so, but most of it is just basketball and dinner on the weekend. So it's not really anything interesting, just stuff I do every week!
So Busy youjust had to do 3 big blog posts...... Hmmmmmmm ;)
Drew...I had to do something to break up the writing...blogging was a good way to do this!
and it's ok to break up the writing with blogging cause most of it was about writing the thesis anyway ;) Good luck milla! You'll get it done :)
Anyway, after you finish your thesis, we get to go to BRITNEY! So it will be worth it.
I know Emma! I am excited, can't wait for Britney!!
