Sep. 17th, 2007 03:59 pmThings I was going to post about recently include
- how I watched the leaked episodes of SGA and really enjoyed them;
- how I'm worried about one [casting spoiler] because of one [spoilery] interview at Gateworld, but probably not for the reasons you are;
- how Ahmed Zaoui finally got cleared & granted refugee status, and a sarcastic remark about the SIS;
- how the weather has been so beautiful here lately we had fish and chips on the beach last night;
- how I wasn't all that excited for SPN coming back, and then I read Old Country by
astolat (HP/SPN crossover, taking place post-DH and AHBL, wincest, AWESOME) and saw these pictures from filming on set (from a future episode, IMO 100% non-spoilery, but the extremely sensitive should beware) and now I am very excited;
- how I re-jigged half my icons: this one is my sad robot icon.
Thing which is actually motivating me to post: I got an A- for my surrogacy essay and I'm really disappointed. Um. it's one of those things where I can't actually say anything for fear of looking dumb. But I was really pleased with the essay, I thought it was at once concise and thorough - as thorough as you can get within the word limit - well argued and well written, and on a par with every other 300 level philosophy essay I've done if not better. :-/ Obviously the lecturer disagrees, and that's that, but damnit. I hardly ever think I've done anything to the best of my ability but I really did feel that way about this essay. Double-ugh. It all becomes so ironic when I look at the english assignment that I had to trim down from 4000 words to 2000, which I got full marks for and a glowing remark from a lecturer who claims that the assignment in question was one of the few assignments she's ever graded that's she's given full marks in. And I'm just thinking, but that assignment was so much better before I had to cut half the content...
