So I'm attempting to write my first paper. I don't know if it's because this class is technically a 101 class or because I'm too nervous, but this seems like I've reverted back to freshman year "how to" classes and it's hard. It's one thing ... Read more >

So not much new these days. I can't hardly get online since it's at dial up speed.  It's excruciating.  I wouldn't even call it dial up speeds.  This is probably how slow it went when the first person in the world went online.  But when the first person ... Read more >

First of all. We went to the beach yesterday. St. Kilda. We had fun but it was DISGUSTING. We found 3 jellyfish on the shore. One that was the size of my face with tentacles the length of my arms. I threw a rock at it and it jiggled. There ... Read more >
