I had two assignments to complete this week. As of last Thursday I had done none of the reading for either essay. I had one due on Tuesday and one today. I got both in on time even with my regular roleplaying sessions on Monday and Thursday nights and going out Saturday night. It's the result of very, very hard work on my part, furious reading and note-taking followed by rapid typing to get all 4000 words total written, formatted and sent to my tutors.
I am unashamedly congratulating myself on this feat.
Speaking of congratulations... The reason I was out on Saturday night was to celebrate my new job! It's the best paid job I've ever had and the most responsibility and I am really excited about it. I start on the 30th, so with those two essays out of the way I have a week to kick back and enjoy myself - or more wisely, to make sure I get loads of coursework done as I will be back to having only the evenings and weekends in which to study once I start work!
So, it's Friday night and I am exhausted after a very tiring week (it has gone remarkably quickly though) but I cannot rest yet. I have one more thing to do... read Deathly Hallows. Andy and I will be heading to the bookshop before ten to queue for our copy, the shop opens at midnight for this, the last Harry Potter book. I will not sleep and possibly won't even cook (I'll make Andy fetch me food!) until I have devoured every last page. (It's alright, I'll do the same for him when I hand him the book to read right after I finish it!)
I got the last two finished within 24 hours doing this and they were of comparable length to this one (~600 pages). I am very excited, my knee is bouncing as I write this, causing the laptop to rock under my fingers. This time tomorrow I will know everything; if my suspicion of who RAB is is correct...Snape's true allegiance...who lives and who dies.
One question, what will I do with my life with no new Harry Potter to revolve around?
