Harry Potter day
Harry Potter day Originally uploaded by mirvettium Also known as my weekend forecast. I missed the entire business of lining up at 9.01 on the dot to pick up my copy like a modern day Oliver Twist. Still surpised to see how many people casually walked through Dymocks, picked up a copy and went straight… Continue reading Harry Potter day
Cough
To whoever sneezed or coughed at me this week. I hate you. I hate you even more if I lose my tastebud tomorrow.
A full weekend

wwkip07-18 Originally uploaded by jenreindeer on a Sunday, it almost made up the fact that Saturday was probably the coldest day in history.

The week so far
ZF02.jpg Originally uploaded by mirvettium Extra short week since I’ve taken Wednesday and Friday off. Today to cram the exam for ADMA and Friday, just because.
