Wow, thinking of a substantial post is hard. :P

I'm quite pleased with myself. Why, you ask? Well, it's because I just got two A-level English mock-exam essays back, and I got an A for one and an A/B for the other. Huzzah! :D Now I just need to practice like all heck, and get the same in the actual exam. Speaking of which, had my art exam the other day too. I ended up using gundamkiwi's idea of the dancer actually having a skull in her hands -- and I'm very glad I did, because the life-drawn skull is pretty much the only good bit of the drawing. xD So gooey cookies of slightly less gooey thanks to you! And, what's that looming up in the distance like a forbidding stormcloud? Is it the Drama written exam? Why, yes it is! *trembles*

Turns out the hayfever isn’t completely gone - but it’s come a lot milder and later than usual this year, so I’m still happy. ^_^

General note about the ongoing Swan Kingdom review: probably should have mentioned this before, sorry, but it’s on hiatus for a little bit. The original plan was to do an in-depth, kippurbird-style review of each chapter, and then use them to write a far briefer review for the actual magazine, but the deadline is coming up faster than I anticipated (funny how that happens, yiss?) and thus I’m going to do the whole process in reverse. And thus, I’m reading the book, writing the normal review and then going back and continuing the more in-depth one for y’all. So never fear, anonymous defenders of the Barbie Book, I haven’t given up after Chapter 1. And I am trying to keep an open mind: it does get better around about chapter 10. :P Because you won’t get email notifications, I’ll say here that I’ll reply to you guys in more detail on your actual comments, rather than talking about it in the general post.

Finally, and entirely apropos of nothing, I think that I have gone for far too long without extolling the bounteous awesomeness of Commodore Norrington. So I shall. He is awesome.

That is all.

fan: oh god it's the swan kingdom, envy my immune system, edumacation, fan: pirates of the caribbean
