It just occurred to my that yesterday was exactly one month since my birthday. It's funny, I still don't feel like I'm twenty-five. I'm a quarter of a century old now and I don't feel like I've done anything of significance in my life; other than graduating university for an Honour degree, even if it was only a Third Class. I have to admit I'm also starting to worry whether or not I'll be able to find a job, on top of my other worries with my studies.

I didn't get much work done today; roughly 300 words. I'm going to force myself to write until I've written up to 700 today. Hopefully that'll finish up Red String's Halloween chapter.

I need to go out tomorrow to buy some milk; I'm out. I had planned on making Today-in-the-Hole today, but still I've no milk I can't. Oh well; I can always make it tomorrow.
