hey flist!
I feel bad, I have been neglecting - um, everything?
I picked up a few people at the YJ friending meme! I feel like I should introduce myself, but I am really super bad at introductions. Um. Hi, I'm Betsy, I'm working in New Zealand for a year before college, I like reading and writing and music and watching things and LADIES and superheroes (and superhero ladies are double awesome) and politics in the sense of wanting to beat up all the politicians and do something myself and languages and silly things and RPing and Susan Pevensie. (You may think the last one is overly specific compared to the others. It is not. Susan Pevensie is the actual best. She is an entire category of awesome all by herself.)
NaNoWriMo is in five days! This is really exciting to me. I have been wanting to write and doing planning for writing a lot this past year, but I've been so fragmented in my actual writing, bits and pieces of things. NaNo makes me sit down and write a complete narrative, which is always a good and needed thing. HEY HEY HEY you should talk to me about NaNo, anyone else doing it or anyone who just wants to talk!
Also Crossover Exchange (which I should get written this week if I am smart, which invariably I am not when it comes to deadlines), Yuletide when it comes around, and Festivids.
Also I just started work again. Where did the holidays go? They were just here, I swear! Oh well, just seven more weeks and then the summer holidays! And I had excellent holidays, of which I spent most of the time doing nothing and being in an empty hostel. (This feels really good when the rest of the time there are 52 girls and at least one supervisor around all the time.) oh! LASS, if you see this we should talk, because I would like to come see you sometime. I don't think I will have enough money for summer holidays, but the two weeks inbetween Term 1 & 2 next year (I think that should be mid-March?) or in July could work? I just don't know where you will be or if that will work for you! ALSO I JUST MISS YOU.
I've been here three months already. That feels so weird to say. It's been a quarter of my time and as much as it can be frustrating and difficult all the girls came back and all the Year 9's were genuinely happy to see me and some other girls were too and it felt good and I love having Mary around so much. I kind of really like being here, issues with boys aside. (I'm alternating between furious at Nick and liking him way too much.)
I mean, I am kind of irritated right now because Wednesday is the day I have no work at the school, so normally I either have the whole day off or six hours inbeween hostel work, but today apparently I have to help set up the dining room at 10:30 and go to a staff meeting, which between them will kind of destroy my illusion of free time. I... really like having that free time.
TV-wise, I have nothing but incoherent joy at Downton Abbey, even more incoherent joy for Young Justice (TEAM TEAM THIS TEAM OH MY GOD), an admission that I have GOT to catch up on Criminal Minds and Nikita, and a note that I've been watching a few episodes of Alpha and it seems quite interesting. But I am so open to discussing these shows, definitely.
And that is all I have for today! <3333 Love you guys!
