sulking
I should have foreseen it, I should have been wise enough to understand the implications of the score I got on the written exam.
I should, I didn't and still that doesn't satisfy me at all! How can I aim for a college application in the U.K. with this grade?
I knew that nothing good could come out of me thinking too high of myself, I just knew it. *sigh* I guess I earned my grade, no matter how unfair I think it is. Not that I'm really complaining, obviously, because 29 out of 30 is a perfectly respectable grade... but it's English! The only subject I should be good, excellent, at! *double-sigh*
And, if none of the above had happened, today would be a wondrous day in a wondrous week in the middle of a joyful month (so far, at least). Exams are over, it's sunny and hot (too hot for my taste, but whatever...) and I'm going to the cinema tonight! You may ask why that makes this such a wondrous day and I would in turn ask where have you been living this past decade?! For tonight I'm going to watch the Harry Potter and Half-Blood Prince film! Yay!
I read the first book back in 2000, in Italian that is, while my first English experience with the series dates back to my not-so-lucky summer of 2003. Since then, I haven't read it in Italian again. It just doesn't feel right. *shudders*
Of all the unfinished stories in my hard drive, the latest one I got stuck on is a Harry Potter fanfiction that I had decided to write one after having read almost the entire archive on FF.net. I had also decided I would only post it if I was certain to finish it. The sad irony of it all is that, at the moment, it's on indefinite hiatus. Why? The answer is dual. In it, the all-knowing Professor Dumbledore is still very much alive (oh, yeah, that was a spoiler! :P), because I had started writing before HBP came out. I had also imagined a very different and very much simpler turn of events for Voldermort's demise, as the main plot-line of the books was of no interest to me. Quite a predicament I found myself in, in 2005, as I had always disliked AU fanfiction and so I was not about to write one of my own. My stern code of honour clearly reminded me to stick to the canon.
It still does, apparently, or it wouldn't be on hiatus.
