There is someone who I don’t think is treating a friend well, and I never expected it of them, but I don’t want to meddle…

17i. Thinner or fatter?

Getting away from campus for horse riding once every week.

The bloody credit crunch!

33. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008.
I’ve not really learnt anything new, just revised some old lessons and continued to ignore them!
34. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.

'You must have known the storm was coming
when the clouds appeared
May as well let the rain come down
And join the circus of people
While you're there’
Penedulum, The Tempest, mostly because I’ve kinda loved Pendulum this year
