Remember me?
I'm not dead, honest! I've just been slowly coming out of some long, painful weeks where I've been studying for exams and stressing, sitting exams and stressing and waiting for results.
The main lesson I've gained from this is that I need to change my study habits. I seem to study and stress way too much and while it usually pays off I really let myself down in one of my subjects. The final grade was a Credit / 67% but I studied ridiculously hard and since I did well in all the assignments during the year it means I must have gotten between 40% and 50% for the exam even though I thought it went pretty well. Everyone has already told me I'm stupid for being so disappointed but there's really nothing worse than feeling like I could have studied for 4 hours a day instead of 15 and ended up with the same result. Plus it was a poor score considering the class average.
So the good/bad news is: exam script viewing is tomorrow and I've promised myself I'm going to forget about the whole thing and enjoy my holidays after that.
To help me I've ordered an absolute bucket-load of cds and dvds from Amazon ( The Professionals is on the list ) and I plan to relax and enjoy them all.
I also may have watched all episodes of Firefly twice while waiting for exam results and may or may not intend to watch them a few more times:)
As a result I may be a little in love with Captain Mal and Wash the pilot.
Also I need to catch up on all the posts I've missed so feel free to point me to anything ;)
Oh and there was another reason for this post:
Very-Belated Birthday Presents for dragonlit and acidpenguin46 :
As always you have exclusive rights to these unless you feel like sharing so here they are, hope you like them :)
scotty icons for dragonlit :
and one post-coital smoking scene sam/gene icon for acidpenguin46:
Also I'm still working on the icon requests from ages ago (sorry they've taken so long!!!)
And Sev I'm having trouble with the fic we keep talking about but I'm working on an expansion of that prozzie-Sam drabble so I might be able to offer that as a temporary fix :)
