I’m officially no longer a fresher. You might have noticed I’ve itched for this moment since I got to university, but I reluctantly reset the keycard to my room at Royal Holloway. If anyone’s living in Tuke F-3A-05 in future, and you happen to stumble across this post, look underneath the desk next to the bed, and you should see …
One Week Of Danger
The following takes place between May 26th and June 1st. Events occur in real-time. 26/5 [1334] I’ve filled up the car, I’ve been food shopping and I’ve had my hair butchered.

Feel The Pressure
On the eve of my nineteenth birthday, I fear of people’s perception of me. How quintessentially adolescent. I told you I’ve been horrendously busy, so a quick recap?
