Guys, I had all those fannish thoughts that I meant to share with you, what with the season finale of Teen Wolf and the latest episode of White Collar and my having seen Magic Mike, but then I hit a bit of a wall in Phase 2 of Thesis and it kinda drove all the fannish thoughts away. I had to face the fact that aforementioned Phase 2 is not going as fast as I hoped it would and that I would not be able to meet the deadline. So I decided to be brave and just bit the bullet; I sent an email to my thesis advisor asking for an extension. She answered today telling me she didn't mind but that she didn't know whether Admin would be ok with it - she at least gave me one more week and is going to check whether I can have more. Honestly, the week is better than nothing but I'm not sure it'll be enough - two weeks would be perfect, especially as I'm going back to work next week.

In any case, I'm grateful that she didn't make me feel like a failure or anything. Honestly, she's a wonderful thesis advisor; she never made me feel like I didn't deserve to be a student just because I'm a "school returnee" so to speak and because I actually have a full-time job that, yes, comes before classes. Believe me when I say this isn't the case of all the professors I had.

Anyway, I'm not out of the wood yet and there's no guarantee I'll be able to defend in September, I might have to enroll again and do it next year in June, but that additional week at least means I have one more chance, so there is that :-)

Wait, I'll end this entry on a fannish note, after all. So, the Teen Wolf season finale: I did enjoy it a lot but, once the excitement over it was over, I suppose it was kinda cutting because of potential spoilers blahblah )

Then onto the White Collar spoilers for Honour Among Thieves ) Mind you, the good news is that even after four years, WhiCo still GIVES ME ALL THE FEELINGS :-)

And then Magic Mike! No reviews or spoilers but I'll just say that I loved it. It was fun, a lot of fun - we laughed so many times! - but also touching and sweet. And the numbers? The numbers were fine! And I didn't even have The Motts! Or only once, but it doesn't count. Anyway, I'd definitely rec it. Not, I'm sure, that many of you even needed to be convinced ;-)

My days pretty much all look the same lately, and they're not as fun as I would like them to be. Guess that's what happens when you're busy writing your thesis and facing a deadline that seems to get closer at an alarming pace - I say 'seems to' but I'm pretty sure it is the reality >_< Evidence under the cut )

In order to keep my sanity intact, I try to go out in the afternoon/evening. - I do have a lot of pictures of food on my mobile, yes )

Those cupcakes really did help save my sanity that day, btw. Berko cupcakes are almost indecently delicious.

My reward for today was the new Teen Wolf episode \o/ No review but I guess I'll enter spoilery commentaries real soon - which includes potential spoilers for next episode, btw )

Also, omg people, I know I sound like a broken record but how is Derek/Scott not part of Fandom's popular pairings? Especially when we get dialogues like this one. ) I repeat, Same spoilery bit inside that made my heart sing ) I'm not even making that up, you guys, it's canon

That little scene was fantastic even without my slash goggles on, really. This is exactly why I love Scott, it was pretty sweet hearing one of the characters spell it out :-) Same thing with that first scene between Isaac and Scott, btw. Did I mention I love Isaac/Scott as well?

Hey, guys. How was your weekend? Mine was fantastic! I got back to France on Sunday and wished I could have stayed in Budapest a little while longer. Alas, I've heard that the rule dictates that all good things to come an end so what can you do, right? We managed to do everything that we'd planned - and even visited a couple more churches that were not part of our program \o/

Budapest is a gorgeous city. And we had an amazing weather - well, some people might say it was almost too hot, but we've had such a rotten weather in France for the past month that it made for a fantastic change of scenery - but, yes, it was hot, to give you an idea, around 8.00PM, when the temperature starts getting cooler, it was still 31°C.

Quick review of what we did )

In between all that, there were the different bridges we either walked by or crossed and the gazillion beautiful buildings that we couldn't visit (like the museums, for instance) but that were still worth the look. I'll try to share a couple of pictures later on, for those interested :-)

Today I was pretty knackered and basically spent the whole day in bed watching Teen Wolf. I'm officially up-to-date, now \o/ And I stand corrected (re: my last post), my favourite is still Scott. I absolutely love him. Sure, he makes mistakes and sometimes he's a bit dense, but I love that he's always trying to do the right thing, even when it's difficult - and when he fails, that he tries to fix it - and, most of all, I love that he's basically trying to take care of everyone all the time. He deeply cares for people and for a sixteen-year-old who's suddenly thrown in a life filled with violence and hard choices, I think he's not doing so badly.

Two moments that I especially liked )

The Teen Wolf fandom is failing me, though. So hard. Where are all the Derek/Scott fic? Where? Also, what about the Isaac/Scott fic? Because I quite like Isaac as well and wouldn't mind reading about him and Scott. If you want to share your Scott love with me, be my guest!

Tonight is 2x10, right? Good timing! I'll download the episode before going to the library tomorrow morning and watch the episode once I get home. Perfect reward for a day spent studying.

Oh, I am not amused; I went to bed around 2.00AM last night and this morning I woke up around 8.30AM. Where is my lie in? This is a scandal! I wanted to sleep till at least 9.30AM *pout*

Let's move on, I'm up now, anyway, let's focus on other things. Like how I'm officially into Teen Wolf, now. I - finally - downloaded the last four episodes of season 1 - which I had I missed when they aired on my telly. Kaamelott, ie the only French show I truly enjoy, will always come first, what can I say; I watch it whenever there's a rerun, no matter how many times I've watched my DVDs - and I was kinda hooked, I watched them all in a row and only stopped because I wanted to go to bed at a reasonable hour. I know, I shocked myself as well ;-)

I'm afraid I'm not going to be trendy though because my favourite is Scott. I don't care that he can be whiny and a bit of a drama queen and all, he's the one I always care for first - I easily cut slack to characters whose lives have been turned upside down in a violent and irremediable way. Then comes Derek and Stiles. It's funny because I watch Stiles and see the "made for Fandom" neon sign above his head and he is all kinds of awesome but, yes, Scott. Besides, there's the whole cutting for spoilers because, from the look of it, I'm not the only one who fell for Teen Wolf recently )

Which begs the question: will I find slash with Scott involved? And, yes - to make things a bit more complicated - I want him to bottom, him being my favourite character and all #RememberMyIssues? I know Fandom seems to be interested in ALL THE DEREK/STILES FIC, basically, but I want me some fic where Scott takes it hard from, well, anyone? He can be my little black dress here.

Anyway! I'm a bit excited about s2 because when I tentatively started watching the show, people kept telling me to "just wait till you reach season 2, this is when it really starts to get awesome" and I kept seeing those episodes reaction on my flist which seemed to be all about the squee so now I'll finally know what's hidden behing the cuts :-)

PS: Budapest D-1 \o/ My sister and I scheduled our little weekend away yesterday - we'll see whether we can see and do everything we've planned but even we can't do it all I know we'll have a fantastic time anyway ♥
