We have entered November: NANOWRIMO!!
Also, all of the papers are suddenly due. Like, within the next three weeks. Only 5 weeks of this term are left. Then exams. Then my last term of university! Yay! (more like terrifying).

I was a dolly. Last minute decision to dress up. I have been itching to try the makeup for this one for about two years now, anyway.
