Last weekend we had a national holiday, so I managed to have two whole days of peace and quiet, no appointments, nothing to worry about. I really needed some time to do some thinking. With the help of my friends I decided to push the CPE to December, rather than taking it this month. These last few months have been so hectic with real life stuff that I never had the time and peace of mind to sit down and do my exercises. Yes, I would still pass it, but I wouldn't be giving it my 100%, and that's unacceptable. This way I'll have the whole summer to prepare, when judges and lawyers and banks are all on holiday and I'm not needed anywhere.
In fandom news, Welcome to Night Vale had a bloody fantastic episode for their second anniversary. This Strexcorp arc was one of the best, and it kept me on the edge of my seat for months. If you're behind on the episodes, this is a great moment to catch up. *_____*
On the other hand, the latest Game of Thrones episode upset me so much I screamed and covered my face with my hands during a certain scene. I was a lot more upset than during the Red Wedding, probably because this time I didn't see it coming at all. And my friends who read the books tell me that even more shocking things are meant to happen in the next two episodes. Help.
I feel like I should mention it, I didn't like the books. I read the first one and almost all the second one, but I never cared for them. Something with the way they're written, cold and like a chronicle, they never gripped me. I didn't care at all for the same characters who would make me cry in the show. I can, intellectually, see that Martin is a great writer, but his writing leaves me so cold it's pointless to try again. The good thing that comes out of this is that I come to the tv show unspoiled, and every plot twist is completely unexpected. This way those among my friends who read the books can do their evil villain routine, with the twirling of the metaphorical moustaches and the evil snickering when I ask them about my favourite characters. Everybody's happy and there's jam for tea. :D
