Okey, this is disturbing. Someone is listening to ABBA behind me, and not their better songs either. Oh well.
Let’s see. The pre-release isn’t so bad actually. Our extract features a guy with a hole in his chest through which you can see the heart and also hold the living, beating heart. Gory but not too bad to read. I raised the question in English as to whether this was actually physically possible. It was concluded that we were sure it was.
The lesson was quite boring, more so than ...

Okey. Bit of a stuff up. The pre-release papers came this morning. The only reason I went to check if they were there just now was because Mr Featherstone asked the other English group how their pre-releases were. I went down to see Ms Miller. She said she’d tried to call me. She can’t have tried very hard. We left as late as usual. What’s worse is I’ve been here all day blissfully unaware.

My timing was a little off but I managed to wrap it all up. I think I stuffed up a bit though. I hope actual quotes aren’t vital to my grade, because I didn’t use any (we couldn’t take our books in, I had nothing in my head (another case of failtorevisepropperlyitis ...

What have I to say today?
Nothing much.

In my planning so far;
The first Anne Bonny and Grace O’Malley now have ships to their names and I’ve had the first Anne Bonny married to the first Jack Rackham. Davy Jones was the first pirate lord to die (under suspicious circumstances) and his wife (he had a wife) Died during childbirth two months after. The child also died and its death too was suspicious. It’s widely believed that the first Jack Rackham had something to do ...
