At loose ends
I'm done my final paper! \o/ That's the one that's due tomorrow, so good timing on my part. It's the last paper I have to write for this semester, and I'm immensely pleased to have finished it. It's printed off, in a folder, in my backpack. My alarm clock is set (tomorrow is my early day: I have to get up at 6am to make it to my 8am class on time), everything's good...
And then I checked my agenda for the list of things I have to do today and it's completely and utterly blank. NOTHING. I haven't had a day in which I've had absolutely nothing to do, homework-wise, since the day before the first day of classes. It's WEIRD. I'm at loose ends.
Now theoretically I could start studying for exams tonight. Or I could work on my thesis - I have a small stack of books I've been meaning to look at, and I did promise myself that I would get at least 25 out of 50 pages of my thesis written this month... but I think that I've earned a bit of a break. Maybe. So I've been reading Invader Zim fanfiction and Artemis Fowl crossovers and watching clips of Trueblood on Youtube instead. I think I'll rewatch an episode or two of Dark Angel or maybe I'll watch the next episode of The Walking Dead (which you should watch too)... Maybe I'll write a review of something I've read or watched lately. Or maybe I'll work on that Draco Timetravel fic I've been working on. Or maybe I'll start reading the next in the 1632 universe, that series that you should definitely go and start reading right now.
I'm free, guys!
(At least for a day or two. Then I've got to buckle down and start studying and writing my thesis and doing research and applying for jobs and such. BUT FOR NOW... :D )
And so for now, here's a bit of why you should start watching Trueblood right now. It's Sam (a shapeshifter, and the boss of the main character, Sookie) asking Eric, the owner of a vampire bar (and 1,000 year old Viking) for help with a maenad attack, with two of another of his employees' kids in tow. Eric can be a total jackass most of the time, but with these kids he's adorable. In a jackass-y way.
"Can I see your fangs? :D "
Also, Pam (Eric's progeny) and her wise-ass remarks about kids (and her lack thereof) sometimes in Swedish are hilarious. And Eric remains awesome.
