i will put my inactivity on this app down to the pure STRESS that is moving back to university (got back to Cambs on Saturday). is there anything worse than unpacking?

my lectures don't start until Thursday so i'm having fun pottering about in different libraries. here are some photos from my dissertation research session in the archaeology and anthropology library (despite studying neither) today!

have a great day everybody <3
