Tonight, the questions running through my head are as follows:

- how do I get police checked?
- do they let you keep hamsters in student houses?
- when they say teens are 'barely legal', do they mean they're 'just legal', 'not quite legal' or 'very legal (London slang)'?
- it's half past nine, how come I know where my keys are?
- would they let us perform the Vagina Monologues at RHUL?
- more to the point, if my vagina were to get dressed up, what would it wear?
- do they make you pay for wine-stained library books?
- do I care?

- will I ever stop procrastinating? Ever?










Ever?
