About Me

It would seem that my fave place is the fifth floor of the Brynmor Jones Library at the moment! I'm doing a degree at The University of Hull and loving every minute of it. I want to continue with my studies and do an MA and then a PhD. I have 2 cats - Tyla and Monkey. They're beautiful.

I have had it with my selfish friend!

I have a mate who I have bent over backward to help in the past. and in reality, she doesn't give a s**t about me - whenever you talk to her it's 'me, me, me' and I've had it. I can't remember the las...
