December One

Last night was Speech Night, so it's official - we are finally the graduated class of 2007. It was quite lovely, because of my prize I got a book called Women Who Write by someone whose last name is Prose, which made me laugh a bit. Yup, I'm a Lit nerd at heart. And it was so nice seeing all the teachers one last time. I like being graduated.

I'm currently totally hating my job.

Leavers = big thumbs up

Denmark on Monday is even more big thumbs up

I'm feeling a bit ill from too much caffeine

My toe has stopped bleeding

And tonight I watch HighSchoolMusical2.

I'll do a more interesting photoerized post later when I get even more bored and disillusioned with my job, but for now, that is all.
