Two minutes till I know what my CPE test went. God... I'm so incredibly nervous. Seriously.

I could die.

I did a practice essay for the Proficiency exam which I am taking tomorrow (keep your fingers crossed! :D And wish me good luck tomorrow if you want, believe me when I say that I'll need it). Anyway, I took the subject from my Proficiency workbook which was Space exploration: an investment in the future? on 300-350 words and well... I need your input. On the language but most importantly on the structure and if it's a good essay in itself, regardless of its subject.

( Space exploration: an investment in the future? - Practice essay - please read and help me )

I'm aaaaalmost done with school now. After the rest tomorrow, I'm 100% free. And then I have the Cambridge Proficiency Exam on the 12th (which I hope you'll keep your fingers crossed about, non? - For those who don't know what the CPE is, it's a comprehension certificate that shows how much English you know and Proficiency is the most difficult. Having this certificate makes it possible for me to study my university years abroad). Keep your fingers crossed non?

Happy birthday szmanda_fever! :D

I turned all my books today - well, except my Intercultural Communications book since I have a test tomorrow and I need to study. It feels so great that I have no missing books! :D It spares me from the pain of having to pay the school because of the missing books. Speaking of returning books, I will go to the library now after I've written this and return my Darfur books which I used for my International Relations essay. I'm also going to spend some time looking through their collection of books to see if I can't find anything interesting to read during my summer holiday.

So far I just have: Anna Karenina, War and Peace, Les Misérables and the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I might drop War and Peace because it doesn't feel very "summer friendly" reading about the Russian Revolution or whatever era it is (I heard about 50% of it is like a history book than anything else). Books about werewolves and vampires and stuff like that is something that I really want to get my hands on but unfortunately, this is not the US and books like that are hard to come by. Which totally blows.

Maybe if I do a wishlist I could wish it for my birthday? ;) No, seriously though, I don't think I'm gonna be making a wishlist for my birthday like I've done in the past because quite frankly, I know I can't afford to return the favour.

Anyway, the other day I really felt like I wanted to order some of the Fearless books (my favourite book series EVER, quite possibly beating Harry Potter, which I ended up not fancing so much not really digging the whole Harry/Ginny bits, which became painfully... painful towards the end) I haven't read. For those who are familiar with the book series (I know there's at least one of you! :D), I'm on the book... Tears. So I haven't read that much I guess but that's because they stopped printing them in Sweden because they became "too dark" or something for the young adult section and the adult section thought it was too much of a young adult book. For those who don't know the Fearless book series, you should seriously check it out.

I dislike not having money for anything. I went to the ice-cream stand with my friends but since I didn't have any money I couldn't take an ice-cream. I know. Petty, but it was a bummer. Afterwards I went to HM and I saw this great looking dress and this really cool top that I would die to have in my wardrobe. I need some new clothes for my trip to France because I've outgrown the majority of my clothes and I'm in definite need of new shoes. I hate needing new things.

I must get a summer job this summer, or get back the 6,000 I borrowed my mother, otherwise I won't afford anything. I might be able to buy a paid account one day. I was going to clear out my userpics today but since I felt like I couldn't delete some (since I couldn't reupload them if I wanted to use them since they are on my PC which has no Internet so I can't use any that are there).

Anyway, enough money talk. I saw... what was it I saw yesterday? Oh yeah, Doctor Who. Donna = ILU ♥

I did the English national exam and I know that it went well. Wait, did that sound snobbish? I mean, I'm 90% certain it went well. The only thing was that I was too bored to glance through what I'd written so I just turned it in when I put on the finish touches. I can't imagine there'd be any major mistakes in it.

So, what should I do now? I have a French presentation to do but... damn, I REALLY don't wanna do it.

Squeee! I think I might just have finished the Philosophy paper that I was going to write for English class! Call it divine inspiration or something ;) Anyway, I would love you to bits and pieces if you could read it through and tell me what you think. If there are any grammar errors or if I need to develop something or if I've missed something. To those who want to know the subject it's whether or not we have free will and I feel as if this version is actually something I can stand for. Something I could turn in and sort of be proud of.

( Cut for Philosophy paper - Do we have Free Will? )

I've spent the last couple of hours writing my EU essay, fair to say I became really pessimistic about that whole organisation. Now I'm just counting the minutes until my sister shows up so we can watch Gossip Girl because I need to... not think for a bit. Just sit down and relax, which Gossip Girl is perfect for. Anyway, it's in Swedish and the current word count is 1,877. Anyone interested in reading? ^^

Huge happy birthday bashipforever! I hope you'll have a fantastic birthday sweetheart. Sorry I haven't been such an active commenter.

Also, anyone here ever read Philosophy? I have this essay for English class and I have no clue if I'm doing it right because I haven't had the subject. Help?

TWO DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS BREAK! Woohooo! *dances* Can you feel the joy? In honour of that joy, the first five that comment and say that they want a drabble/ficlet thingy will get one. I sucked at fulfilling icon requests but I'm confident in my writing abilities (sort of)... Just provide me with fandom and prompt. Fandoms I can write: Original (if you just want a short story or something that doesn't have a fandom association), Supernatural, Gossip Girl, Doctor Who, Heroes (with some restrictions, some characters such as Maya I can't won't write) and Dexter (Never tried but I could). Some shows, sadly, I haven't seen in forever (such as Life on Mars) so it would be difficult to write from that.

My French teacher is going to be the death of me. Seriously. We're supposed to learn an entire text by heart to next lesson. The problem is that since it's French and I'm like... the worst French talking person ever, it's a huge problem that involves a lot of anxiety. And apparently we have a lesson on Friday as well. AND AN ORAL EXAM! Eiiiikkkk!!! Seriously, words cannot describe how anxious and how terrified and how... lousy I feel looking at this. I love the lessons. I love listening to French. Right now I just want to skip it. I want to pull out of the entire course. But there are points to be made, grades to be given. It's more important than whether or not I feel good about it. I've been doing French for... many years now. I think it's approaching five. And I'm still rubbish.

If Dexter doesn't murder someone this today (2x08), I swear I will. Possibly myself. Right now there's not a hope in my sky. It's a phenomenon which I'd like to call "The French Syndrome".

And in English class, I spent the entire lesson playing Swedish word games online. The others were doing a test I did last term and I haven't been given any extra assignments. It felt like a glorious waste of time. But I still love English class for some reason, even if I haven't done anything for... x number of lessons.

My day's been good otherwise, it was just completely bummed by seeing French. Seriously, when my mom walked in here two minutes ago, she looked at me and she was all: "What is it?" Yes, The French Syndrome has me under its thrall.

Edit: Also, I really want to watch Battlestar Galactica again. But the problem is that the only thing I care about is Gaius and Six, so... Anyone know where I can find all Gaius and Six scenes? 'Cause the other bits don't really make me invested. I've seen season one and two.

Also, Pimping my Christmas wishlist again if anyone is interested, now also updated with another wish.

I'm getting better at the whole commenting deal. Still a little rusty but I don't want to lose touch with any of you (some of you I haven't spoken to in forever! I really miss talking to you guys). I've decided that after a lot of contemplating to buy the Heroes Season One DVD (but now as I'm typing it, I'm becoming uncertain again). I love Supernatural, I really do, but I can't afford both and I saw a bit of the episode 'Hiros' yesterday and I got hooked. A bit. I liked it. Supernatural S2 is too emotional for me, somehow in a bad way, right now for me to be able to watch it. Thinking of each episode (except the funny ones) makes my heart hurt. I just have enough drama and stuff around me right now to appreciate it. Right now I'm in a "light" mood. Which is probably why I spend my time watching It Star... I'm not gonna mention that show in this entry, I promise ;) and The Prince Who Turned Into Frog (I'm still not certain if it's its actual name)

I'm having a pop quiz on Monday in English. I'm so totally EXCITED can't it be Monday NOW?! :D I swear, it's not natural. And it's only 'cause well... it's English and I absolutely long for a challenge. It feels like my English is slipping away from me and that I'm just sitting in class waisting time. Hopefully, that will stop now ♥

I'm gonna go and see The Prince Who Turned Into A Frog and then I'm gonna read the Poisonwood Bible. Bonne Journée! :D
