So it's halfway through the first week. Hard to believe it's only been 3 days. Feels like much longer.

So I'm back home. I'm currently seated in my old, grubby-looking, worn-out green-blue roller chair at my all-too-crowded desk, listening to the familiar whirring of my ceiling fan that seems like it might fall apart any time, the midnight travellers in their cars on the streets below, the rest of the house silent and fast asleep. My favourite time ( Read more... )
