Graduation!
July 8, 2015

June 23, 2015
I have finally succumbed to evil. From a young age I had always dreamed of crushing other people’s dreams and bringing the world under my steel-capped boots. But I never thought I’d go this far.

So I’ve followed study tip no.1: Get up from your desk. Stretch. Go for a walk. Take a bus to the airport. Get on a plane. Never return. This year, for the first time since primary school, I had no summer exams (be jel) and 11,000 words of coursework later, I decided to flee the …
