I have just started an economics journal which deals with European and American economics, as well as the politics behind it all [partly because I have been assigned to writing and designing for a recently established (est. Jan 2012) private offshore financial placement agency for the next year]. It is not directly linked to the business but is rather a personal site where I can write and encourage myself to keep up to date with the macroeconomic climate. If any of you are interested in this sort of thing, I would be very happy to provide you with the link to the site. It will be up and running by the end of this week with the most recent post (written today) titled “Greek Politics: The Economist’s Essentials”. Thank you. x

Exams are under-way and today went pretty well but next week is going to be an absolute killer. Hopefully not literally, of course. 3 chemistry higher level exams, 3 physics higher level and an English paper. Sigh. The only thing keeping me from collapsing into the deep piles of craptacular-notes on my desk is the thought that on Friday evening I am going over to Alexandra’s and she will have baked me a surprise. FOOD. For those of you doing A-levels: forever envious. x
