Set phasers to love me!
So I finished Community in a week. It's really good. Very excited that it's been picked up for another season! Woo. And in my obsession I have gotten my best mate Laura hooked and my brother (who is upset that I compared him to Abed - he loves a good pop culture reference!)
So I don't really know what's wrong with me at the moment but I'm having some feelings issues. I know that sounds really random, but nothing is making me either really happy or really sad and I don't know why. Everything is just a bit meh.
Anyway, the reason I realised this was that yesterday I got results from my February exams (effectively half of my law school marks for the year) and I did really well. I guess the thing is that I expected a distinction (that's 70% +) and would have been devastated if I hadn't. Anyway, I kicked ass and got way over the 70% requirement - 88% in 2 modules, 81% in the other two, so I'm well on my way to the distinction I wanted this year. I was happy when I found out, though I guess it was more relief than anything; as I say, it would have been devastating to not get a distinction overall. Upsettingly, the boy failed an exam and so now has to resit one paper, which is not ideal for him and makes me want to not talk about my results so much. Worryingly the boys I hang with at school all seem to have done pretty badly; one of the others failed 2 exams. I'm kinda glad I wasn't in school yesterday, cos I wouldn't have known how to properly commiserate with them cos my results were really good! Oh well. Must remember to be compassionate on Tuesday!
In other news I've broken myself playing cricket. I strained a leg muscle running really early in the game and I had to try and walk it off and not stop moving, cos I knew the second that I stopped it would be bad. I kept going to the end of the game, but when I was out batting the combination of pain and a day of nausea made it so I nearly passed out. When I got out I was shaking really badly and looking a good colour of grey. Whoops. I'm trying to not move about today and hopefully accelerate leg healing cos I'm playing again tomorrow and monday! Not ideal.
Annoyingly I also got myself out with poor shot selection yet again. I am really bad at that at the moment. I keep deciding on the shot I am going to play before the ball pitches. As I was going to hit it the ball that got me out my brain was yelling "abort abort abort! that's the wrong shot", but it was too late at that point!
