Every Title You Write Doesn’t Need to Be Clever

February 18, 2010

And this post is proof of it
It’s Friday and my brain is a bit fried since I caught a cold on Monday, but still managed wake up at 6AM to attend class everyday… Even if I disagree with the teachers on a daily basis and I’m against the entire idea of sitting in [...]
