No worries, although it is technically after midnight and you shouldn't be working on your major.

 

[pakigal]

Lolz. Is that a rule? Cos mine's officially due by 9am tomorrow. Panic. I haven't slept for the past two nights!

 

[kewlu]

Yeah, but a BoS rule is that you can't work on any external thing after midnight, or something like that. Still, I won't tell.

[pakigal]

Well in that case, "I'm not touching it anymore." Good luck to you too!
