Why me?
I like doing things that are out of the ordinary.
What did you get out of going back in time last summer?
King's was something else. I learnt more about all the subjects (especially English and grammar!) and about myself than I have done in 16 years. It was a window into another world, and although it was hellish at times, I'm glad I did it - I look at everything differently now!
