A Quick Thought
Posted by Will in Chemistry on October 18, 2013
Okay hi. So I just wanted to clear up something that I’ve noticed. Recently, I’ve found that people hold a particularly high regard for people who do my course, and others like it. For example, just after I started my summer job all the way back in July, I was just chatting to a few […]
