I love the end of the uni year.
I am now officially back around.
No more uni, assignments or (hopefully) stress for the next 3 months.
*glees*
Although I'm kinda gonna be a bit on edge until I get my exam results back and know whether I have to take any of my classes again (I'm pretty sure I'm right for 2 of my subjects...it's just the 3rd one, which over 50% of the class failed last year, that I'm running around with my fingers crossed for)
I really need a better study habit...starting to study a week before the exams is not a good policy. Starting 2 days before for the subject I am most freaked out about is worse.
Mind you...I had information down for the exam...mostly...except for the big fat essay worth 1/6th of the entire exam mark which was based on the 1 lecture I didn't attend...that's just cruel an unusual punishment since there was no textbook, everyone else's notes didn't really help much and it was about dirt...or ok soil microbes...but still...
On a higher note I've got about 60hours of work to scrounge money from the uni for, although the effort shouldn't take me more than 30hours.
I also have a job interview (Woot *rolls eyes*), a thing of real excitement, especially since I learnt that my friend who got interviewed last week already unofficially got the job. Actually that really does make me happy because I would have had to start immediately, wouldn't be able to get the uni-job done, and wouldn't be able to rest and relax as I sooo desperately need right now. Plus my parents are lining me up work to play lab tech with the equine flu problem of the moment. Oh, and another friend is putting in a word for me with her micro-lab. And I'm still employed by the local supermarket.
It's the most job possibilities I've ever had walk up and hit my in the face. Really kinda scary.
I really was looking forward to just living my life in a cave hooked up with internet.
*sigh*
Stuff will happen and hopefully there will be some free time in there somewhere.
Mostly I want to re-find my creativity, get some writing done and feel like areal boy human being again you know, instead of a brain fried zombie whose goal is assessments instead of brains....
Hmmm, and I'm also working on christmas stuff for people. Always fun, even if one is not religious at all.
Well ok...and onto the fun stuff...
FANDOM:
Currently I am not in it, at least not for any of the anime/manga/cartoon fandoms that are my usual purview.
I've retaken up my childhood joys of science-fiction shows. True, some of them are utterly laughable. But then there are others which are soooo good you love to re-watch them, see Firefly for qualification.
Am currently working through a Stargate Atlantis obsession which mostly has to do with one adorkable Dr. Rodney Mckay PhD PhD (though Radek Zelenka comes in a really really close 2nd, especially after the most recent episode)
XD
The stories in this fandom are really great. Lots of good authors who'll write me good long plotful fics, gen and slash to my hearts content, and the episodes themselves (or at least some of them) can be rewatched again and again with utter enjoyment. Great blend of action, drama, angst, humour and technobabble.
Was on a Doctor Who/Torchwood stint before that...because Jack Harkness smile made me wibble...but unfortunately there are very few long plotful fics in this fandom (that aren't about Rose and the Doctor and eventuates in how they're meant to be together). So give it a few months and then I'll backtrack.
Farscape...also fun but lacking the humourous flair that runs through both SGA and DrWho a lot of the time. Mind you Stark, Pilot and John Crichton are very very shiny.
*sigh*
♥'s me some sci-fi boys.
With actual time on my hands, I hope I can pick up the threads of a few of the old fandoms, because it is nearing the 0% mark that I will write for a TV-show fandom (mostly because the level of talent already there is intimidating, but also greatly because I find actual actors, etc. much less malleable in my mind than my animated boys)
OK...big long scary rambly...ramble will stop now.
Catch you all around.
*hugs*

on 2007-11-27 03:10 am (UTC)As for your FF12 query:
Technically, Vaan is the main character in FF12, in the sense that he's one you control when entering towns, and he's also the one you start the game with. But if you're talking about the main character in terms of the story's focus, then it's Princess Ashe (Her name cracks me up, I was half-expecting the words "I choose you Pikachu!" in some of her dialogue), since the quest essentially involves her struggles to reclaim her throne.
YES FF12 IS AWESOME. I love FF12 more than FF7-- and that is saying a LOT.
I'm not even sure if I can go back to Reborn, especially since I've been scouring the FF12 fandom too, instead of just playing the game. >.<

on 2007-12-02 03:38 am (UTC)Looking at Rodney's description, I'm surprised at how many of those personality traits could be transplanted onto any of my other favourite characters. Obviously we just know what we like (and have great taste in cool characters) XD
*cough* As I'm sending you a christmas gift anyway...I can include a couple of discs of d/led eps if you'd like...?
Ahh, Vaan was the character I was asking after...but it's interesting that who you mostly 'play' and the 'point of the story' are different. I had to read that comment about Ashe and pikachu and number of time until how they relate sunk in *shakes head at self* (actually the 'newer(?) seasons of pokemon were just released on tv here...and I was horrifed to hear the new voice they gave Ashe...aweful, aweful fake deep voice that doesn't suit him at all...not that I watch Pokemon much...it was just umm...on *nods* that's my story and I'm sticking to it :P)
Better than FF7 huh, that's pretty high praise. I don't have the gaming consoles so I don't follow game fandoms so much, but it's interesting to hear all the ranks people put on the games...especially when FF7 was full of pixel-men.
*pets*
There are just not enough hours in the day to do everything if you're so inclined...even less time to do everything you actually have to. Catching up with my old fandoms is...daunting since so much time has passed that I just keep putting it off...until eventually I suppose they won't be my fandoms anymore.
*pouts*

on 2007-12-03 01:43 am (UTC)Well, there's mixed reviews on 12-- some people don't like the battle system and license board, etc etc, but I love it to pieces. Granted, I'm not a big fan of the materia system of ff7, and while the new streamlined system of FF12 took some getting used to, I find myself liking it very much. That and FF7 is not my most favorite Final Fantasy game, and there you go. The reason why FF7 is so popular is because it was the breakthrough game for the RPG genre, and it is because of it that so many RPGs suddenly came into existence.
I like FF12 more than FF7 because the gameplay and the story rivets me more. (I have a terrible affinity for political plots). Not to mention that I've become a rabid fan of a het pairing for it (where one of them is 12 years old, god, I swear I was a pedophile in my past life).
RE: SGA- Well, as long as there are theoretical sciences for it, I'll probably be interested. I don't know anyone among my friends here who watches it, but vampires in a futuristic science series sounds cool in itself. And I'm very much interested in that Rodney character now. And sure, cds of episodes would be wonderful!
until eventually I suppose they won't be my fandoms anymore.
OMG, I feel that every time RL comes in and bites me up the ass. I don't think I can catch up with my old (or even recent) fandoms even if I wanted to, if I'm currently consumed with another one. I'm the type of person who CAN'T balance fandoms-- I have to preoccupied with only ONE at a time. I haven't even checked my other LJ in more than a week. T-T I'm sure its full of Reborn posts, but I don't feel like I'm giving the Reborn fandom justice if I'm just checking it to be updated, and not really because I'm genuinely interested. Don't get me wrong, I still like Reborn, but well, I kinda jumped ship with FF12 and I don't think I can go back to Reborn without finishing the game. (Been playing it for an aggregate total of 70 hours, and I'm just only 2/3 done ZOMG)
