Holy shit it has been ages since this journal has seen an update, hasn't it; a proper update, not a quick celebration of Christmas or the New Year. I blame London, wholeheartedly, and quite a lot of Shakespeare, and - just lately, anyway - Les Misérables, as seeing the movie (good acting, mediocre direction, singing ... more or less inconsistent) ( Read more... )

les misérables, fandom is a safe corner of my brain, shakespeare, the university chronicles, this fucking city, writing, sherlock, this city you guys

I'm glad you're feeling awesome and that your time in London is up to your expectations - if not more it seems! You look quite happy with your studies and your writings and that's great :)

I'm not really reading fics these days and I'm not active in any fandoms; so I mostly read them to procrastinate (holidays, I need youuuuuu). I haven't seen the Misérables yet (holidays, I need youuuuuuu) but I took a great liking in the Hobbit even though the movie isn't perfect. I have difficulties to read for pleasure - I don't organise my time efficiently and if I manage to read a book per month, I'm already happy :c (holidays... you know the deal)

I really am! :D How about you, how's teaching coming along?

Les Mis isn't that amazing, but I cried at the end anyway, because I'm (apparently) ridiculously patriotic that way. (I still resent the original composers for not including La Marseillaise in it at some point, though. I mean, COME ON.) And The Hobbit was very enjoyable, all the more so because I went to see it with some very passionate friends. Courage! Your spring vacation is coming up soon, isn't it?

It is haaaaaaard. Well, dealing with the kids is hard and scary (when you feel the class slipping through your fingers and you don't know how to keep it under control). Seems my lessons are getting better though; my tutors and my principal were globally satisfied when they visited my class, but I still feel totally bad at teaching. Each mistakes make me feel guilty because I have the impression I jeopardize my students' future.
My inspection is coming soon :c.

(no Marseillaise? But it is the best over the top French song!). The Hobbit is made of bromance and epic moments - sometimes they are a bit too much, but I'm not going to complain.

My holidays start today!

Aww. Are your kids nice enough, generally speaking, or do they riot a lot? How old are they? I'm glad your superiors think you're doing fine, though - I'm sure your inspection will go over fine, darling.

(I DON'T GET IT EITHER. It's a musical! about! Revolution! and they pass the one song that's all! about! Revolution! in our cultural history. IDK.)

Hurrah for holidays! May your days be filled with sunshine and movies and sleep. :DD

They are nice, but they like to test limits. And since I was too nice at the beginning of the year, some overstepped the boundaries :c.

Thank you! Take care of you as well :)
