Her Life is a WIP

Yesterday was a day to celebrate, flist! First off, it was my last day at work and as of last night I'm on vacation for a whole month \o/ Second, I don't think I've mentioned it here but the past few months I've been getting ready to take a competitive exam to basically secure my job (no pressure, right?) and I got the results of the first part of it this morning, I passed! I'm now allowed to take the oral examination, which will be the final step before I'm done. Said examination is in October so I have time to get ready for it but right now I'm just very happy (and extremely relieved) to have passed that first exam :)

I've left the university with a pile of books I mean to read this summer to help with the process... I guess I'll have another studious summer since I'm supposed to also finish my thesis. Yes, the fun, it never ends!

On fannish news, I've recently fallen for The Borgias (my favourites are Cesare, Lucrezia and Micheletto and my favourite dynamics are Cesare-Lucrezia and Cesare-Micheletto). I'm also still watching Graceland, which I'm enjoying more and more. Also, I'm starting to think Johnny might be my favourite... he's the goofy character of the show and I usually don't go for that type of character but thankfully he's much more than that: he's smart, competent, loyal and reliable. He's laid-back and very sweet. He also has the cutest laugh, I just love hearing him laugh :) Admittedly, it's not easy picking a favourite because I love them all, it's another great ensemble cast.

Oh, and I realise I had this in-progress post in my draft, so I'm posting it too ;) Those are pictures I've taken last week, a bit in a Week in the Life way.

( Pictures of last week )

My program today... keep doing nothing this morning then library this afternoon and Pacific Rim in the evening :)

Had a great day at my sister's with a couple of our friends for a double bday celebration (her second of the week, lucky girl, and one of the friends we had over).

Also, Cookie and I went to our flat this morning and it's all done! Well, we're still waiting for one kitchen item to be delivered but it should arrive soon-ish. Now we need to put everything back in its place. We'll go after work throughout the week and then next weekend.

Anyway. I'm not here to ramble about domestic stuff but to post the last round of the Week in the Life meme. In this batch, I'll give the answer to the question "Did Mouse go to the damn library or did she bail again?" #StayTune

( Day 7 - Friday )

And that's it, folks!

PS: Mom is watching The Voice ("I like it, the judges aren't mean", greedy_dancer, does it remind you of someone? lol) and Person of Interest has been advertised twice during the commercial breaks already. I approve! I'm also very excited that they're finally airing the show in France. I'd watched - and enjoyed - the first episodes but got behind and never caught up. It'll be nice to follow it on the telly. I just hope they'll propose the English version too #FingersCrossed

This week seems rather long to me, for some reasons (TGIF tomorrow!) and I keep wondering which day it is, exactly. My being a day late on the meme is not helping me get over the confusion o_0

Alright, let's get this show on the road before I get even more behind!

( Day 5 - Wednesday )

And thus endeth Day 5. And now, ARROW \o/ It's odd, it feels like I haven't seen Ollie, Dig and Felicity in ages when it's just been, well, a week since last episode, right?

I don't have anything out of the ordinary planned this week, so this will be mostly domestic, I think...

Caveat: picture #9 is a shot of my computer screen with the fic I'm currently reading, ie Chosen Man, (The Eagle) which I've fallen in love with over the weekend - such a brilliant piece of Esca/Marcus that I want to rec it to everyone who happens to be around me. Case in point, I'm recc'ing the story for the second time in two days ;) - so I suppose one might consider this a spoilery shot - even though I don't. Just, you're warned.

( Day 3 - Monday )

I thought this was the beginning of the end, I tried to download the latest TVD and when I tried to use the Mediafire link, it gave me the following message "File Blocked for Violation - The file you requested has been blocked for a violation of our Terms of Service" aka the kind of message dreaded by fans all over the universe! But JDownloader didn't seem intimidated at all and has been downloading at fast speed so all is not lost. Yet.

I had a very nice Friday - lunch with my sister, dinner with the FP after work (we met for a little picnic on the Ponts des Arts before heading to Starbucks to end the evening) - which made up for today since I had to work this morning #Meh Mind, the afternoon will, again, make up for it, as I've planned on going to the cinema with SAM to see Hunger Games. I haven't read the book yet so I'm basically going blind but I'm thinking it'll be nice to get to the book afterwards, as I'm sure many details have been overlooked for the film adaptation.

Anyway. So. Today is Day 8 in the Day in the life of meme because a week has eight days, didn't you know? So I don't know how to count, so sue me *cough*

( Day in the life - Day 8 )

There. Officially done, now. Bye-bye daily meme, you were ever so fun ♥

I've been quite excited today because tomorrow is Florence + the Machine's gig with greedy_dancer and moimoietmoi. One more sleep only! ♥

This isn't the point of this entry, though, so I shouldn't let myself be distracted. I come bearing two days in one for the Day in the life meme (no, I'm not tired of that meme yet!). Here it goes *points*

( Day in the life - Day 4 )

( Day in the life - Day 5 )

Well. That took some time! Five days down, two to go!

From the comments I received in my last post, I guess I'm not the only one who enjoys looking at other people's lives, am I? Good to know! Because I have another day to post *points below*

( Day in the life meme: Thursday )

And posting at almost 3.00AM, it'd seem lol Another day done, go me! I scanned my flist quickly and I've tabbed a couple more "Day in the life" entries, awesome! It was such a good idea to resurrect that meme!

PS: Hopefully I didn't make too many mistakes, a) it's almost 3.00AM and even in French, I'm sure I'd mispell some words etc. and b) LJ spell check seems to have gone a bit bonkers and isn't helping at all right now; I can't even count on it to tell me what to correct. I'll see about that tomorrow night.
