Bah. That is all I have to say about my writing class. I wish that was all I had to say about my writing class. But I would just have to mention that I have wasted 85 of my hard-earned-by-the-sweat-of-this-slaves-brow euros on this class, and I cant justify not going to the rest of [...]
It started with the dishes. They were piled up high. beside the sink, on the counter, on the table; everywhere. and I was feeling lazy, very very lazy. I moped around for a while, I read some of this new novel I just got. I frittered time away like donuts and coffee. And then I [...]
I took the driver theory test today, and I aced it! only two more things left to do: get passport photos, and hand over all the forms and 15 euro. Then I will be a licensed learner driver in ireland. a somewhat scary thought, but I’m sure that once I actually start driving it won’t [...]
