So many good things! Featuring grades, jakuako, Harry Potter twice and Supernatural...
1. I GOT A B ON MY DISSERTATION!!!! *party* :D I don't think it's quite sunk in yet that this means I have all my grades back from my BA. So weird. Can't get my head around it at all. But it's good - it's all definitely good. :D I still have to wait until July to hear what I got overall, but it's pretty much going to be a 2:1 :)
2. jakuako's long-anticipated visit is all over and done with! This is sad, of course, as she has gone back to Texas. But it was a brilliant time meeting her and doing touristy fun stuff, so I'm really glad it happened :)
3. HARRY FRICKEN' POTTER. On Monday 18th June at around 8:40am in York's lovely museum gardens, it started. Thirteen people, one book: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'd already given everyone their parts (everyone takes it in turns to narrate and also voices specific characters all the way through), and we were all set up for a long, long day. Stephen Fry's audio book, for Merlin's sake, is twenty-four hours long. With a break for dinner, all in all it took us about twenty hours - we finished at about twenty-past five on Tuesday morning! Listening to the final battle just as the sun was coming up for real was truly, truly magical. We did lose three people through the night, to work or sleep or other commitments, but that was all manageable and it was absolutely fabulous fun. I can't wait to do it again!
4. Pottermore - July 5th! July 5th! July 5th! Ohhh I'm so excited for the house cup. Seriously. *bounces* Go Slytherin!
5. Supernaturallll. Season 6 Episode 1! I'm watching it this weekend. It's hard to plot exact times when I'm at home with my parents, but I aim to have my first review up Monday/Tuesday. I need to skim read some of my last reviews to refresh my memory, and then it's bombs away!
What a couple of weeks, eh? Everything happens when I'm not online for a while :P Hope you're all well!
