Oh God, my housekeeper had thankfully came back to my house after an extended leave--and finally, FINALLY, my semester break felt more like a break. It's really good not to worry about things like: 'Did someone came? I think I feel asleep and I can't really hear them in this part of my house' or 'I'm terribly hungry should I cook or have a take-out?' or 'I can't leave my home unattended, but I'm bored' or '*sigh* My house is a wreck and I haven't done the laundry, haven't sweep the floor, haven't done the dishes, but I'm tired'.

...My family and I sometimes are afraid about how much we're depended on our housekeeper.

Anyway, in the span of two days or so, there are some things that had happened. First of all, my final GPA result was finally posted, and fortunately I was not as bad as I had thought. In fact it's great! I got 2 A and no C in sight--and I got one of the A from a subject that I did work so hard on, and the other A came from a subject that I thought was going to be my doom. I was so happy that I'd been proven wrong for the latter. The GPA didn't really meet my target, but only by 0.01, and it's a LOT better than I had hoped, so I'm really grateful for that. And though I shouldn't be so smug about it, I had found out that there's a subject that I did better than some of my friends (I only chat with three friends about it, but I don't think I'm going to be masochistic and nosy to ask all of my friends how they did on the subject--I still want to savor the feel of being a little superior, at least until after second semester begins). Because of that and the comforting words that some of you f-list had said to me in the previous post, my competitive side had been appeased. There's still a lingering regret about the subjects that I could have done better on, and I'm still astounded by how my need for achievement had apparently soared, but overall, I'm satisfied with the result ♥

Aside from all the flails because of my GPA, I finished reading 'Feet of Clay' by Terry Pratchett (it's a part of Discworld series). It's a fun and engaging read, inspiring but humorous, and I'm happy that it can be a part of my bookshelves ♥ The next book that I planned to read is Soul Music, still a part of Discworld series, and then Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco. Hope that I can finished them before my break is over :3

I had also finished a karaoke for the dear eiki, let go and let in some icons, rewrite my lj profile (but still wince at the length, will find a way to make it more concise), and would hopefully move to the task of fulfilling the fic requests that's still piling somewhere in my back of mind. My muse is giving me some ideas for what I should write, but I haven't find the energy to write something yet. *sigh* I'll try to do something about my apparent tendency to procrastinate.

Anyway, I also planned to round-up my fic recs--mostly ArthurMerlin and 8059--on my twitter account. That, and two more music recs in this break. I've planned to recommend some of Yoko Kanno's work and also the music of Suikoden (especially since I had just sampled the quite recent vocal and piano arrangement), but I'm open for changes. Do anyone of you dear f-list wanted me to recommend an artist that I had put up on my posts for closing 2009 and opening 2010? Don't hesitate to give me suggestions!

On an end note, to you f-list who loved Colin Morgan, have you seen a scan of him being Jethro on Doctor Who? The vector was posted here by gealach_ros, scanned by bananedaiquiri, and originally posted by alexi_lupin here. It's quite an old scan, posted around New Year to celebrate Colin's birthday, but I mention it here in case any of you haven't seen Colin being so emo yet so sdfghkjjkhgjf. I was quite speechless when I saw that picture for the first time, and it seemed that for a minute or so, all I did was gaping, couldn't quite take my eyes off the screen, and all I could think of was OMGCOLINCOLINCOLIN XD

That's all, thank you for those of you who read this post from top to the bottom, I hope my ramblings doesn't bore you yet ;9

books, music, ramblings, colin morgan
