I’m always amazed that classes start so early here! We started primary and secondary at 9am. (School ran until either 3:30/4pm) 🤷🏻‍♀️
Student advocates say that students who sleep for 8 hours experience better mental health and succeed in classes.

I can only aspire to the level of confidence on show today from a man who made a sandwich for me, then held up my order and without missing a beat, yelled out “LeBron”?

“Bruno” was the previous title holder in how badly my name has been butchered.

Today, is a new chapter.

My big achievement this weekend is to have **finally** made it through the last episode of #Lost.

I’m aware it officially ran from 2004 - 2010.

I haven’t been watching it for 2 decades. It just feels like it.
