Friday. Global Nation tomorrow. School is nearly finished. I have already changed my mind about what I’m wearing. Twice. Remember me, Eclipse.
Wednesday. Edo sent me Endymion and several other things tonight because he has apparently appointed himself guardian of my hardcore education. One of them was excellent. I told him. He...
