bad spellers of the world untie!
I will be honest, I suck at spelling. I may be slightly better than the dyslexic at least that’s what I think. It could also have to do with the fact that I’ve been surrounding myself with good spellers. Who knows. But it took me years to sort out “get” and “got”. It’s not like [...]

brain on vacation
I’m supposed to do this write up in Swedish and send it to my teacher and I frankly cannot do it at the present moment. I tried to work on my homework earlier and my brain has just gone completely blank. I’ll do the write up tomorrow and hope that my brain will be functioning.
