Things which have happened today:

I got turned down from TeachFirst, which rather sucks, and justifies my guess that the interviews at the assesment centre didn't go that great. Ah well. I'm surprisingly not upset, actually - there are enough routes into teaching that I'm sure I'll be fine. And it's an incredibly high-pressured course, so maybe it's for the best.

This morning I accidently went to a lecture I shouldn't have gone to, because it was a genetics module I'm not taking. I have no idea why I wrote it down on my timetable. But when I realised I thought it would be rude if I just walked out, so I listened and made notes anyway. IDEK.

Oh, and I wrote a thing - well, actually I wrote and posted it in the break between that lecture and the ones I was actually supposed to go to! I woke up this morning and there was a prompt on whitecollarhc for "Peter and Neal are trapped in a dessert" and my brain started throwing bad puns at me. So, here is my attempt to cram as many of those terrible puns as possible into about 300 words. Again, IDEK. It's just been that sort of day. XD

Also, while I'm here: is there actually a consensus on how Diana's surname is spelled? Because I've seen about three different spellings being used, each by multiple authors. (This is not as bad as a brief period in the CSI:NY fandom where the actual show couldn't decide whether a recurring character was called Jennifer or Jessica for quite a long time, and her name kept changing between episodes. That was fun.)

I spell Diana's name "Barrigan" -- that's how most of the official sources seem to spell it, like Marsha Thomason's website. But I can read it any way in fic. :D

Also "hee!" to the fic. :D

It's spelled Berrigan. I don't remember which ep it was, but there was an envelope addressed to her once, and it was spelled that way on it. I know the show isn't always consistent with the spellings (they once spelled it Caffery in a syllabus they used as a prop), but I think it's been more or less officially confirmed that it's Berrigan with an E. It's spelled that way on the official website too, actually.

LOL @ the Freudian typo. Loved your little pun-filled piece there. :-P

Sorry you didn't get on the course, but I think the plan you mention to sholio sounds like a good one. *hugs* I'm sure you'll get there, one way or another!

One day I hope to get round to watching White Collar... not sure when!

(Argh, LJ doesn't want to let me comment. Trying again.)

I'm sorry to hear you didn't get into the program, but if it is high-pressure, I sympathize with your lack of upset. Pressure can really squeeze all the fun and love out of anything, and you've seemed really happy teaching; I'd hate for anything to change that. Good luck with your plan!

And that story — so many puns, ow! (hee)

Wait, what? You do?

Loaded question - begs of many others, including: what's your current major/focus/degree? What do you want to teach? And what the devil is TeachFirst?

Sorry...my inner crow saw this tiny shiny bit over on your tag list, and I had to click it...
