All aboard!

Show Early

On Monday, after delaying for as long as I could, I have to show my manager what I've been doing for the past few weeks. Monday is also the deadline for two assignments for my teaching degree, and Tuesday I write my first exam. No pressure. Let me get back to my assignment that's dueContinue reading Show Early
