First things first. Sivy sent me this email that I really have *got* to share with you all!

These are from a book called 'Disorder in the American Courts' and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

Really cheered me up, that did ^-^

Actually, thats all I wanted to say, other than that I got all my marks back today and I've passed everything with more-that-decent grades, from 13's to 9's so I am very happy ^ - ^

Having a wee bit of guilt (or more accutratly a hell of a lot of guilt) because I finally told Hayley that I've given up on arranging things with her because I got cancelled on *again* yesterday. For something that was *her idea* in the first place!

Anyway, I have to go because there is a class in here now.

Ja Ne all
