I hit that “, eff yeah” moment. I get to enjoy something that’s worth all of my time. Drawing has always been more than a mere hobby to me. It grew as a passion, and comics…
Or would this be a foolish choice that would impact my life in a bad way?” Now, when I think back, I was quite surprised about how I wasn’t excited about the airplane ride. I guess I was just more “mature” than the other 7 years-olds. This is because I was more worried about how I would endure the changes that I must face in the foreign country.

age of twenty, what girl would even think about her boyfriend proposing? I know that every girl dreams of her wedding day, how it would look, and the way it would turn out. Planning a wedding is not an easy task like everyone thinks it is. Planning my wedding involved three main things; the date for the wedding, the type of dress that I would wear, last but not least, would be the type of venue I was going to have.

whole city of Oxford. I predict that Kivrin will bring this new disease to the past; I am questioning how Kivrin’s journey to the past will somehow affect the events in the future; I am evaluating the coincidence between the times where she traveled and how there is a new disease in the future. As a traveler from the future it is possible to bring a disease to the past; where people are more likely…
