I’m absolutely thrilled especially when I was lucky to even be in college last semester after messing up my leg. Good ole DCUfm gave me something to look forward to and writing my blog was something I started taking seriously (well, you know what I mean) when I ended up in hospital. I had lots of time so I decided to write..

Super chuffed.. not sure what else to say.
