No picture taken and a bin full of tissues can only mean one thing - illness. Of course, this is only a common cold but nonetheless I decided that quarantine was the way forwards.

A broken toe and blocked sinuses have not made for the most pleasant of days but it's at times like these that stoicism was invented - tomorrow's the weekend so I'll be able to shake it all off for the exams.

So, the term's worth of lessons ended in a bit of an anti-climax; I'm going to shut up now before I hear cries of 'man flu!'
