Summer Project is a go!

Like last summer, there is a task to do over the very long summer break, something which I'm very happy for as without it, I'd feel like the time away from University would be a waste.

This time the task is as follows:

My Zombie Twin Sister: Idea 1 - FMP



Kim: I'm not dead! I mean…I'm sort of dead. A little bit dead. Teeny weeny bit dead, but not like…dead dead. I can talk and remember things. 

Sophie: You're still dead…

Kim: If you want to get technical, I'm the undead! Un-dead, which means, not actually dead.

Sophie: No, it means once was dead, now is a walking corpse of said dead person.

Kim: Shut up…look, come on, let me in!

Sophie: You're dead!

Kim: I'm not dead! *arm falls off*

Sophie: Your arms off.

Kim: It's a flesh wound! Heh, did you see what I did there?

Sophie: Clever. Still no, you're still dead

I had several problems with my Mac, one of them being that it would shock me whenever charging/plugged into the mains, so I couldn't do much on it and then it had to be sent away to be fixed. When it finally was returned to me I went on holiday...these are not really excuses, just facts, things I couldn't change no matter what.
