Today is officially a Good Day :D

OMGYAY #1: I've FINISHED MY DEGREE! Got my last essay in on time, and while it wasn't great, it wasn't a complete mess. Whatevs, I've finished! \o/

OMGYAY #2: Apparently there was some sort of Skins BNF conspiracy to post fic last night, and now I have a metric fucktonne of awesomeness to read! \o/

OMGYAY #3: I bought The Demon's Lexicon! I'd heard mixed things about it but I'm quite enjoying it so far. Plus, it makes me giddy to a) read a book set in Exeter, and b) own a real published book by my second favourite fic writer ever. \o/

OMGYAY #4: It's SUMMMMER! Now I'm no longer holed up in a boiling hot computer room the sunshine is making me SO HAPPY. I think I'm going to have a random day in a seaside town soon, I just need to pick somewhere that's easily accessible by train. \o/

HOW ARE YOU, FLIST? I've been terrible at commenting on people's RL stuff but I'll be better, I promise. *hugs* to everyone who's been having a rubbish time of it lately.

I bought The Demon's Lexicon the other day, I really like her blog. Have not had a chance to have a proper read yet, though. What fic did she write?

Also, congratulations!

Cheerio, Michael. xxx

She wrote a load of Harry Potter fic (Harry/Draco, mostly) which was awesome and hilarious. She took it all offline, but I think I have all of it saved.

And, thanks! It feels so good to finish, even if I have no clue what to do with my life now.

Yay! So weird that we've both finished education now. Do you think you'll go back? Otherwise, what kind of job will you go for? Are you going to stay in Exeter? (sorry, too many questions!)

Oh God, I was planning on doing an MA for the longest time but now I'm so glad to be essay-free that I can't imagine it. On the job front I'm kind of... really not sure about anything, but I need to start jobhunting soon, so I don't know. I'd like to live in London, ideally, but I'll probably go back home to Leicester (once the lease on this house is up, which isn't until the end of July) until I find something.

I was planning to do a social anthropology MA in Sweden but then I didn't get a place, because they had more applicants than usual and decided to only let in people who had done social science degrees. I was upset for a few days but then I started looking for internships to do over the summer and I've found some really exciting opportunities so I'm quite glad it turned out this way now. Even if it takes me a year to get an actual job, at least I'll have a great CV. Doing work experience for a year can't cost more than doing a Masters and it'll probably be more fun too, even if I don't get to live in Stockholm.

You should move to London! I'm probably going to move there in September so it would be lovely if you were around too. Are your twin friends going to be there too? I remember one was studying in London. I'm a bit unsure about moving there just cos I worry about how safe it is and how expensive everything is, but I also think living in a big city is something worth experiencing, at least for a while.
