tammaiyaConcert tonight went better than last night, I think. Didn't stuff up faeries as much, Mari wasn't as sick and obviously since I knew my shoe was missing I didn't spend half my time backstage looking for it. Almost slipped over and killed myself several times dancing in socks and stockings, but I lived.
Suikoden cards going quite well. I'm still in mild shock that I'm actually vaguely literate now. This happened when I wasn't looking, I think. One day I couldn't even read manga with every aid known to man, the next the only thing I need to check is kanji and vocab. (I know that doesn't sound brilliant, but it's a big thing not to have to think about the grammar. Also, kanji and vocab can be very fandom-specific things you pick up along the way. For example, I now know both the kanji and the reading for cease-fire agreement. Most useful phrase ever, I'm sure you'll agree.)
Christmas fics also going quite well. 6 written and 2 partially written out of 22 with a month and a half to spare, so it's definitely not panic time yet. Am however having logistical difficulties (involving plausible explanations) for one of the partially written ones. Wish Cori or Fahye were online to help with this glitch, but we cannot have everything, alas.
Speaking of which, history NOT going so sparklingly wonderfully. (Sparkling! I love that word. Er. Moving on.) Oral still in editing stage, let alone such things as summary sheets and visual aids, and history research paper is, so far, not going at all. *shifty look* Oh well. As for the IT assignment, I'm over it. I'm just beyond caring where IT is concerned- I'm not counting it! Ahahaha nyer.
Mother was very rude concerning my likely UAI today. She seems to have mentally adjusted what I told her about my guesstimate to fit her vision of reality, wherein my projected mark becomes the absolute (unlikely) top I can achieve and my new projected mark is 5 marks less. Okay...? She then proceeded to ignore me when I tried to explain this was not in fact the case. Thanks, mum. Way to help my self-esteem. She's also apparently been talking with someone from the Education sector who says that the short response component of the AST was introduced with the specific hopes of Grammar not doing as well. WELL FUCK THEM VERY MUCH. So now she's convinced that we're going to scale pathetically, and is constantly informing me I shouldn't tell people I've applied for Law because I probably won't get in. *grumpy*
Well, whatever. I guess I don't really care much at this point; I don't exactly know what I really want to do after this year, and all I'm focussing on is next week (FREEDOOOOM! Mum keeps going on about my exams, despite the fact that I only have 3 and the only one that I'm counting this semester of is Japanese and I do more than enough 'study' for that anyway... *sweatdrop*).

:D

XD She's always been like "just try your best" but I think even trying to a semi-respectable level is something for me to be proud of, all things considered. (And okay maybe I could have gotten 99 or whatever if I'd tried my best and done subjects that scaled well and etc, but pffffft. I don't have the concentration span to try my best.)
