I can’t help it.

I am, in fact, moving at the end of this month. As you may have already heard from one of my future roommates, the place (The House) is no less than swank.

Oh my. You all know how much I adore working on group projects in school. Well, here I am again picking up the pieces.

You really must understand that I view myself as more compassionate and willing to ( Read more... )
