So many good things! Featuring grades, jakuako, Harry Potter twice and Supernatural...

1. I GOT A B ON MY DISSERTATION!!!! *party* :D I don't think it's quite sunk in yet that this means I have all my grades back from my BA. So weird. Can't get my head around it at all. But it's good - it's all definitely good. :D I still have to wait until July to hear what I got overall, but it's pretty much going to be a 2:1 :)

Yay on good grade! That Harry Potter reading sounds likes so much fun! Was that just for the heck of it or did you guys record it for something?

[hermitknut]

Thanks! :D I think recording the Potter book - wouldn't that have been a little bit illegal? I don't know. But no, it was just for fun :) We did Philosopher's Stone last year (not all the same people) and it was tonnes of fun so I thought I'd set it up again. There was a vague idea of getting sponsored, but it didn't really come together :D

Congrats on your dissertation grade :D!! (I keep getting confused by the A, B, C grades that universities seem to be using now though - my brother's course is the same (he just found out he got a 2:2 overall), but when I was at uni, we either just had all our grades in percentages or in terms of the actual degree classification).

Early congrats for the 2:1 as well :).

Great to hear you're starting on season 6 of Supernatural :). Looking forward to seeing what you think of it :).

I believe season 7 is expected to start airing on Sky Living in the next few weeks too (was supposed to be June but a date hasn't been announced yet), otherwise I think it'll be September before the DVD is out here.

I'm excited this week because I'm going to my first Supernatural con next year (actually it'll be my first con ever). I'm gonna meet Jared and Jensen (and Misha) in Rome - can't wait!

Thank youuuu! Also seriously? It's going to be on the real proper TV? So watching it that way. I much prefer watching real telly than on the internet - *cough* I mean borrowing other people's legal DVD copies. >.>

I shall keep an eye out for that date, though - and I'd better get moving with season 6, hadn't I? Hahaha.

I'm so jealous of your con-ness. I've only been to two cons ever, I really wish I could go to more. But that'll probably have to wait until I'm not a needy student :P

Well, it's supposed to be airing on TV sometime - I caught a random season 5 episode on Living at about 11 pm the other week and they said at the end that season 7 was coming soon, but then I just read this article, which implies it might be at least another month: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/tubetalk/a388567/doctor-who-once-upon-a-time-supernatural-tube-talk-qa.html

Yeah, I've never been to a con for any fandom before, but after reading all the cool gossip and seeing the great videos from this year's Rome con, I decided I would treat myself... so next May, I'll hopefully be spending a week's holiday in Italy, followed by the con :). I was trying to save money to buy a house, but that's kind of going out of the window now, especially since I'll be shelling out for a trip to China next Spring as well (my brother is moving there in a few weeks) :P.

[hermitknut]

Ahh, thanks for the article. I'll keep an eye out.

Cons are awesome :D And Rome is gorgeous, don't know if you've been before. Very jealous of China, too! I hope you have a great time!

Listening to the final battle just as the sun was coming up for real was truly, truly magical.

That sounds fabulous - what a great idea!

[hermitknut]

*grins* I'm glad you think so. I'm thinking of presenting the idea to a proper con at some point, but I need to test it out at least once more before hand. I'd love to do the rest of the books and get other people doing it too :)

Also, I admire you answering pretty much every comment on your post. That's usually my rule too, but I probably would have given up with the sheer number of them! Good luck! And thanks for dropping by here, always a pleasure to have new visitors :)

I admire you answering pretty much every comment on your post

It seems only the polite thing to do... Mind you, I am staggered at how many there are, and all but one of them polite and constructive. I hate it when OPs just go down pasting "Thanks" on every comment so I'm trying to actually reply to at least some of what each person has said. It took me ages to get the right balance of "polite" and "piss off" on the "one", so I'm planning to do the rest tomorrow. *wipes brow*
