Commence the Countdown

I know that I have A LOT to get caught up on here but with exams and a paper to do I’m not entirely sure when I will get to it. To be honest I may be finishing up everything on here well after I get home. Today, though, I promised my little sister that I would post a special 20 day countdown of my semester that I came up with on my 4 ½ hour ride back to Cork last week.
