    I'm done.

    I've done four drafts and as far as I was concerned, I was finished - I was happy with it and all my friends say it looks great - but my teacher wants me to do another two drafts before I hand it in :p I'm about half way through my reflection statement, but I've got it all planned out, so I can...

    Woman who shot the dude

    Going on what I know happened, she should be charged with murder. Either because she carried out a deliberate act to kill (aiming for his head and hitting) or because of reckless indifference to human life causing death (shooting at him and hitting him in the head). But it doesn't really...

    Middlemarch

    Is anyone else doing Middlemarch for individual and society? I'm not exactly enjoying it, but it links really well with the prescribed texts (it'd link well with anything - there's 32 characters) and George Eliot/Mary Ann Evans has enough relevant personal context, but I haven't heard of anyone...
