| :waves: I keep getting in to the 'I'm never going to catch up, help' stage of trying to make a post, but hopefully this will go well (there's about a million things I should probably actually be doing but I am apparently, too overwhelmed or something. So putting them off). Also I worry about repeating things I've said on LJ and you know, that sort of thing. Anyway, here is my catch-up attempt!
Kacey, good luck with the application process and such like.
Avon, I'm very glad to hear from you (I was going to call but then I saw your LJ post and thought, no she won't want to be bothered)
As for TV - I am sort of amazed to discover I watch a lot more than I thought (and by watch I mean 'acquire and watch on laptop' Hee). Criminal Minds, NCIS are every week type shows (also The Daily Show, The Colbert Report - because I hate that we only get the global edition/high-lights here. And Top Gear, which again, I watch on laptop because I am now apparently unable to deal with ads). Criminal Minds has been amazing this season, though unbelievably heart-breaking owwy (I got to watch at the same time as the rest of the fandom which was just amazing). I also watch Bones (I've been making my way through the first few seasons), Castle and sometimes CSI NY (and have just discovered Leverage and The Middleman). For someone who never used to watch American crime shows, I watch a few now! (I also watch a couple of American news/pundit shows and have a great deal of fun). And oh, Doctor Who (I cried at the end, entirely despite myself).
Being back at uni has been nice but overwhelming (I have trouble saying anything about why I'm overwhelmed by things - though I am proud that I actually understood mathematics in a class. It was for, believe it or not a IS Analysis class. Apparently there will be no maths after this but damn, I was proud) and I am still terrified about finding a job again (I don't know how to explain the last year and trying is hard and then I feel guilty for not applying for things and yeah, this is a joy. Because I really want to get out and to be able to buy things again and well, all of that. Also I really don't know how to explain the last year. "Got sick, got really broken, tried to commit suicide and had a year of just talking myself out of walking in front of a car"
But, plus sides of things. I am still trying. Also, I chucked the scales away (my relationship to my weight is not at all healthy right now and it's probably best I don't know), there may be a ballet class I can go to (I miss ballet dancing - though missing it also led to me searching for the Drina Adams books and discovering that the Library only has one of them. And my copies got given away. Blah). And I got to go swimming in the ocean (and went to the Taste of the Huon in which there was much much deliciousness. Such as really really fresh berries on waffles and calamari with pink-eye potato chips. Again, very very fresh). Also I am gearing myself up to do graduate applications (I can actually talk myself in to doing them this time) and I am also doing some really nice fannish things, such as Remix. Plus, hanging out with friends and helping out with the Rotary Club market stall. That is fun.
