i'm so glad. i'm exhausted. but i got my first essay back and i got a really good grade, which i'm particularly happy about since most people did not do well & also i was terrified of my tutor lol. it's been i've managed to keep on top of my reading & hit all my deadlines.

i've been at some wonderful events recently, both creative & academic, and have been connecting with fantastic people. also reconnecting with friends i haven't seen for a while.

i've met new people who are so open & welcoming for when i hit the middle east at the end of the month. i'm really looking forward to checking out a new place, as well as obviously seeing father dearest & his whole clan. LULZ
