Art-Donna in the class. Started to draw people in my copy of 'The Last Supper'. Lunch-out at the back with Donna, Mike and Bob. In the student's lounge. Lesley still bitchy [it was around this time that Lesley attempted suicide (rather publicly and not totally seriously by cutting her wrists at Donna's apartment). At the time no one had too much sympathy for her, but I think it was because of her home life and that she and Mark had ended. We were all a bit fucked up in our own ways then].
