it's over

[frith_in_thorns]

I have finished my exams.  Seriously, I cannot express my relief at this coherently enough or completely enough - they have eaten up my life for the past month and a half of revision and now they are GONE.  And I don't think I did too badly.  Evolution & Systematics definitely went better than Plants & Microbes, but I was expecting that.  I think I got phytochrome(red) and phytochrome(far red) the wrong way round, which worries me a lot, but I probably should stop worrying about it.

I had the most lovely awesome post-exam meeting ever.  Since I have an official doctory note stating that I am a Very Special Snowflake I take my exams in a little room in college on my own, while everyone else is over in the main exam schools.  So when I came out into the main quad susannajoy  and Eleanor were there with the most amazing mobius paper chain which they wrapped me in and a paper flower garland to go on my head.  It was lovely :D

Now I get to go home and do exciting things like read books which are about neither plants nor evolution and have no statistics and names of genes in.  Also I get to go to the Lake District with TolkSoc on Saturday for a week - I can be excited about that now!!!

Thank you! :D

Also, your icon made me laugh :)

Congratulations! I remember how relieved I was when I finished my exams earlier this month, and they were just GCSE, not (I'm assuming, since you're in Oxford?) uni exams.

[frith_in_thorns]

Oxford university exams are precisely crafted to destroy your soul one painful piece at a time ;)

Congratulations on your GCSEs! Wow, I feel old :P

[truthliesmagic.livejournal.com]

Oh my. Now I'm glad my parents talked me into aiming for a uni closer to home.

And thank you! I'm trying not to think about the results until I get them. XD

The Lake District is going to be amazing. I am just sad that your cloak will not be ready so you can stride over hills with it. Will have to get started as soon as I get home!

(sorry for being all mopey earlier, twas very lovely to see you all garlanded - congratulations again on being done!)

[frith_in_thorns]

You had a complete right to be mopey. Seriously. I was being a bit mopey at Conrad's celebratary cake party at lunchtime. And you will be amazing tomorrow, I know it.

LLLAAAAKKKEEESSS!!!

Coolies and congrats! Whoa exams are stressful :O

I was a vampire at Uni - up all night, sleep all day - cramming the night before...

[frith_in_thorns]

Thanks! Ox exams eat your soul. They're little soul-vampires which drain you dry. Or something. :P

I've been cramming for weeks, and suddenly there's all this TIME! Which of course I'm celebrating by not having internet access for a week - still, it should give me time to work on my big bang story!

[x-varda-x.livejournal.com]

TIME!? Wassat? For 'tis but a strange concept in a far off land :) I think I work more now than I ever did at Uni (7hrs a day, 5 days a week, 5 weeks holiday a year) Eeeeeep. I haven't had a week off since March. Oopsy.

Good luck with the Big Bang fic. Bang bang blam!

Well done you! And I hope you all have fun in the Lake District.

[leesa_perrie]

Excellent - now you can enjoy freedom for a while!! Have fun in the Lake District - that's where hubby and I honeymoned (near to Keswick), oh, just over 12 years ago now!!

(Excuse me while I go feed this male blackbird standing at the back door... Okay, that's him sorted for a while!!)

If you go near Lake Windermere, there's a freshwater centre - like a Sea Life Centre but with mainly non-sea life creatures - that we went to. There's a bit where you walk through a tunnel with the water above and around you, and it is open at the top and so there were all these ducks from the lake diving down, right by the glass! Really cool!!! So, I can recommend that! We also enjoyed the Keswick motor museum - an A Team van being the highlight for me back then!!

Hi! I hope you had a great birthday!

The Lake District was lovely, lots of walking, sailing, and reading :) And I'm off again to a computer LAN, and then back to Oxford for a week to get on with my project - I'm running around like a mad thing this summer!

How is / was the TolkSoc holiday?

[frith_in_thorns]

Amazing! :D

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

I am pleased to hear it! :-)
