I'M DONE! + fic stuff + random

1. I'm DONE with exams for this round. FREEDOM! Your taste is a great one. Riight, I should have done pedagogy too but it would have had to be three days after the last one and I figured I'd just do it next semester. Also, I just realized that I have only the next term to go through and then I should actually work on getting the first half of the degree. Oops. When did three years pass? :/ Not that I don't have another two years after that, but still.

2. So yesterday I was all ready to catch up with all the stuff I missed in the last three days of cramming and then Mozilla started crashing as soon as it opened and I couldn't get the hang of it. In the end I used another browser to dl the latest version, then I took it off and reinstalled it and now it's going wonderfully. Except that I lost all my tabs, so... er, sorry. If there was anything I should have seen link me? I'm pretty sure I had a lot of fic opened. Damn.

3. Fic speaking I need to revise the secret angels one asap. And finish my [livejournal.com profile] hope_in_sight one asap. Thankfully for the first time in ages I even have four free days before classes start so I hope to use those to do also that. And possibly to read something which isn't textbooks. And I should post some Dean/Cas utter unrepentant crack (or maybe not that much) sometime today.

4. Tomorrow Invictus is out here. IT MAKES ME EXTREMELY PLEASED.

5. Thanks so much to [livejournal.com profile] wandersfound for the NJ postcard!!!!!!!!!!! <333333333333333 when I got it I totally started flailing around and I think my mom was like 'what's going on' or something but I HAVE A POSTCARD FROM NJ!!!!!!!! <33 *loves* and uh, [livejournal.com profile] fosfomifira, thanks so much for the Christmas card! It arrived some five days ago but I didn't manage to make a proper post *kicks RL*. <3333333333333333 to you too. ;)

6. Random: I think that at least four/five people friended me in the last three weeks or so. Which makes me very happy, but if you're in that group and you did, do you want me to friend you back? Because if you're here just for the fic then it's fine but if you want to be friends then I'm totally okay with it. Just, uh, tell me? Because while this is mostly public I'd just like to know that.

7. That said, I'll go catching up with my last comments to catch up with and to edit the crack thing. *waves*

\o/ I’m sure that can wait a while. ;) Yes, I thought you should be at that stage now; are you working on your thesis? And a bachelor’s degree isn’t even enough, sigh. I’m mostly kidding, but then again, I do have many long years and lots of work before me. ;)

Pedagogy could wait forever for all I care. *sigh* I'm even missing Medieval philosophers if I think about it. And yeah, I'm about to get the bachelor, even if here with a bachelor in philosophy you probably don't qualify for anything. I need a master's too. And I'm not working on the thesis yet but I'm trying to sort out topics and then I need to talk about it with a supervisor and then I'll probably try to write it this summer/autumn. But as long as I'm done with exams next term... and ha, I have another three and a half long years I foresee, so we're two? ;)

Blah exams are blah exams, and it’s not like I’m looking forward to writing a thesis of my own in the near future, but the thing I am really O_O about is that they’ll throw me in front of class, soon-ish. How the frak am I going to bullshit my way through that? And why am I so much of a masochist that I kinda sorta maybe chose that for myself? :/

Okay, boring.

Ha, I'm so not looking forward to it either. And argh, good luck to you! You speak with one who in theory should end up teaching but I'll try not to especially because I doubt that six pedagogy credits would qualify me for that... and really, I admire you. The most I could ever do was giving repetitions and while I was good at it (well, I wanted to earn my money) an entire class would make me go nuts. And that wasn't boring. ;)

Thank you! Let me just clarify that I have never taught anyone anything, and I really don't know what I'm doing. I just applied for pedagogy as a minor on a whim (from a career POV?), and they were like You are quite - young. Theory's been all right at times, but - yeah. Two years ago I said that I would never ever become a teacher, not even in theory.

Ha, don't worry, I doubt anyone knows what they're doing in such a situation. The idea of teaching a class is downright scary for me though, I admire whoever even tries it. And well, career POV is probably a wise thing. I mean, at least you should have a job. Because I totally didn't go career-oriented and I never understood if it was wise or suicidal. :/ And well, if theory isn't bad after you break the ice practice can't be that bad either, right? *crosses fingers*
