renrenren3: (Glee * Kurt & Blaine)
I finished cleaning my f-list, I removed a lot of people I don't remember talking with in a looong time. If I removed you but you'd still like to be on my f-list, lemme know! (I might even have removed someone by accident, I had pages and pages of people/communities I don't even remember about.)
Anyway. To make up for the long months of silence: the return of the entries that are so long I have to start using hearts to divide all the subjects. Yaaay! Insert needless amounts of excitement here!

♥ A couple of weeks ago, flash, video and audio on my computer stopped working. I didn't want my dad to mess up with my files while I was writing my thesis so I went without youtube for a while. It was a wise move since dad started fiddling with my computer on Sunday morning and I've got it back and working just now. At least now everything works. The only inconvenient is that my playlist got deleted so I have to make it from scratch. I've been meaning to sort my music for ages, so at least this is an incentive. I was really worried my computer wasn't going to get fixed in time because...

♥ GLEE TOMORROW NIGHT! EEEE! I miiight be going out though, so IDK if I can watch it as it airs. Either way, I'm just so excited about finally seeing this prom episode I keep hearing about. I'm even considering getting off Tumblr before someone accidentally spoils it for me, but that'll take a lot of self-restraint. I really don't want to read these Prom King spoilers though, I want the surprise.

♥ To survive the evil five-weeks hiatus, I downloaded some of the original versions of the songs covered in the last episodes. I made some interesting discoveries. First, I still can't stand Ke$ha unless it's covered by Heather Morris. Katy Perry is okay but I still like the covers better. WTF happened to Candles? I listened to the cover first and I thought it was fine, but then I listened to the original my mind was blown a little. What. Happened. To. That. Song.
Raise Your Glass and Animal survived the Warblerization much better. In fact, I downloaded all of the Neon Trees album and I'm kind of obsessed with it right now.

♥ I just watched the first episode of Game of Thrones, which I've been fangirling over since before the pilot started shooting, so yeah. I have some minor complaints to make because I think they changed some scenes just for the sake of change, but overall I'm very happy with the pilot. And anyway the changes aren't Harry-Potter-level, more like LoTR-level, and in case the comparison isn't clear I loved LoTR.
Back on topic, the actors are awesome. I'm in love with all the Stark kids, Jaime is fabulous and steals all the best lines and Viserys Lloyd makes me crush on one of the creepiest characters ever.

♥ I've started watching a bunch of new series now that I have nothing to do all day. I'm still sticking with Camelot, but mostly I want to see Merlin trolling. His tale about finding Excalibur in the lake in the last ep was priceless. I like The Borgias much better. I also started watching another crime drama, The Killing, but it's kind of depressing. Uhm, it's actually supposed to be dark and gritty and introspective, but I have the tastes of a 5yo so I find it depressing.

♥ The last episode of SPN was hilarious. I still don't like these plots with fate and angels and I don't know what else, but the characters are hilarious. Plus, as a Dean/Cas fangirl, how couldn't I not love it? I'm going to make them a fanmix and I'm going to make it just of Celine Dion songs and I'll be giggling all the time because, as I said, 5yo. Also in the last ep of Hawaii Five-0 Danny and Steve went on a date together and Danny said he loved Steve. And then a woman tried to hit on Steve and Danny got all jealous. I SWEAR I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP. It's like the bromance of the century.

♥ What else? I'm considering transferring to another uni for my master's. No big deal.
But seriously, I've been thinking about it for a while and the uni I'm in right now cancelled a lot of courses in the last year due to budget cuts. (Because our prime minister might make the front pages thanks to sex scandals, but we're also dealing with ridic budget cuts on education, health and pretty much everything important.) Anyway, the courses that were cut were those I was most interested in, applied maths and statistics and so on. The other courses are good, but they're mostly focused on theory. I did my thesis on numerical analysis and I'd rather stick to an applied curriculum since I don't want to stay in school past a master's degree. I'd still have a degree in mathematics, but I prefer to think I'm studying things that I'll use when in some distant future I'll finally get a job. So I did some thinking, and at least on paper Milan offers a lot more courses and has an applied mathematics curriculum. The only catch is that I wouldn't be admitted automatically as I would by staying in the same uni, but I'm hoping that by coming from a good uni with a final grade of over 100, the entrance interview would be little more than a formality. Anyway if I don't get in I ought to review my life.
So I told my mum today and she didn't even freak out much. She just pointed out that my dad works in the same uni now, which I'd completely forgot about, but anyway he's in another department. At least I don't have to decide now, I have until September.
Speaking of, I took a full week without doing anything. Apart from writing, there was plenty of writing. I might need a beta soon-ish. But I digress, as always. I need to find something to do until this autumn or I'll spend it sleeping or on Tumblr. Need to find internship. :(
