bedlamsbard* My final grades are in, and I got four As and an A-! I am really excited; I thought the A- was going to be a B. Which means my GPA is now up over a 3.6! I really wish I'd switched my seminar from a 3-credit class to a 4-credit class, though, it would have bumped up my GPA a teeny-tiny bit more. (For the term, my GPA was a 3.9; the A- was not from the seminar hooray!)
* My poor friend Chicago is grounded in London; they're telling her for a week, which means she's going to miss Christmas with her family in Chicago. That sucks so much, I can't even.
* ...Christmas shopping? *whimpers* My shawlettes aren't even blocked yet.
* I have been listening to a lot of pagan music lately, since I remembered I had a $50 iTunes giftcard from last Christmas and hey, I should probably redeem that, and this is what I'm in the mood for so this is what I get. Which also gets me a lot of folk and filk music; I am resisting the urge to, I don't know, write a novel around this song.
* I can read fiction again. *dreamy* In the past week, I have read A Morbid Taste for Bones (Ellis Peters), The High King of Montival (S.M. Stirling), Pegasus (Robin McKinley), Waterloo (Bernard Cornwell), and The Hobbit (J.R.R. Tolkien). I love fiction. I have missed fiction. (Which is not to say I don't read fiction during the school year, it's just usually stuff for class, which translates to things like Shakespeare and Homer and Virgil, which have nothing wrong with them and a whole lot of things right, but, you know, reading for class.)
