Wow, a decent post from me...
I really hope you're all enjoying your weekend - anyone have any snow? There's been some quite near to me but none actually where I am yet (although it is forecast.) I had quite a busy day yesterday, went shopping with my sister in the morning (remind me never to go Christmas shopping again - it's so busy and hectic and urrgh!) and then came home and did work, sorted out some more presents and things. Today, I'm aiming to get lots of uni work done - I was meant to be going to the pub quiz tonight but I don't think I'll make it as my Mum wants some help with Christmas stuff, too. I guess that's one of the disadvantages of living at home; people in halls perhaps have more freedom to hang out whenever they want to whereas I still have stuff to do with my family every weekend, too.
I'm really looking forward to this week's episode of Leverage; I loved last week's so much and it's great to have it back again - I missed it! Speaking of Leverage, heist five of leverageland is now finished - my team (Team Grifter) won! I had such a blast taking part and I'm so glad mizzy2k convinced me to sign up! And an added bonus for me was that I was the 8th top point scorer in the heist which really isn't bad considering I didn't win any of the bingos and I missed the first challenge and it was my first ever time taking part :) I'm aiming for the top 5 next time ;) AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT I'M A SOPHIE!
Just fyi, I'm planning on starting to post your Christmas prompt fics on around the 10th of this month and they should all be posted by Christmas Eve at the latest. I'm making quite good headway on them, even the ones that I haven't started writing yet are already pretty well planned out so I know what I'm doing.
I'm reading Jane Eyre at the moment in preparation for some lectures that are coming up. I have to be honest and say that I have attempted to read the novel before (a year or so ago) and didn't even finish it. For some reason, I really struggled to connect with it and it didn't hold my attention. This time, though, I'm nowhere near as far into it as I got last time and I'm already enjoying it so much more. I don't know whether it's because I'm more focused as I read it or whether it's because I know I have to read it either way but I'm connecting with it and I'm finding that I want to keep reading it this time so that's good.
Is anyone reading something they'd recommend at the moment?
Despite what I said earlier about never going Christmas shopping again, I'm actually going in with my Mum tomorrow evening. It should be much quieter, though, because it's a night time and it's a weekday rather than a weekend. Plus, me and my Mum are less likely to bicker because we're stressed than me and my sister are! I don't think I have any plans for the rest of the week...maybe having coffee with a friend at some point but that's about it. Apart from that, I just have a document commentary to write - it's due next Monday but we're all writing them for our seminar on Friday so we can discuss them and then improve them before handing them in. I'd prefer to get it finished today so that I don't have quite as much work to do during the rest of the week. Ah, December, why are you so busy?
