The teacher sent the exam results via e-mail and guess what?xD I passed! With the highest grade, too! XD Gu-rei-to! xD

I watched "9 ends 2 outs" all day yesterday - treating it as a complete break from studying - and I must say that I really liked this one. Of course, the pace was sometimes really stretched and some plotlines were quite boring (for example I couldn't see any chemistry between Nan-Hee and Jung Joo, but they stayed together for nine episodes out of sixteen O.o) but the slow pace brought in return an opportunity for the characters to naturally develop. I also really liked the relationship between Nan Hee and Hyung Tae - their friendship was great, their acting was awesome and the way they talked to each other, without any inhibitions... oh, I wish I had a friend like that too! xD

The newest episode of "Last Friends" came out today and I was like, WHOA, it was so intense. Poor, poor Takeru~! ;_; And his evil onee-chan found him... And I really do hope that Ruka's not the fore-shadowed death from the first episode... All in all, I'm loving this series more and more with each new dose :P It's a shame that there are only two episodes left... I recommend this to anyone :D Can't really understand why they are promoting "Zettai Kareshi" and "Gokusen 3" instead of this pearl.

And to end today's entry...  I got a call from the language school where I had sent my CV... I'm going for a meeting on Thursday :) I'm both excited and scared :P It's my first job meeting ever xD Wish me luck!

Validations: 4/9
Exams: 0/3 (but one written, I'll know if I passed at the end of the week)

I had a monster of an English literature exam today :P Of course out of 40 or so questions the four I had to write about were ones of those I didn't particularly like - but oh, well, that's life. But it proved something to me - I still have a lot of work to do before I can say that I'm really good. Recently I had classes with a really nice teacher and they were a pleasure to attend and I was the only person in the class that had any interest in what we were doing, so it seemed that I might have some talent in this area... But in truth I lack a whole damn lot. I have problems with interpretation - I never see the important things and notice idiotic details instead, and that never helps when you are writing an analysis that will be graded :P

But in order to go into publishing I need to reform my mind and put much more work in what I'm doing. And thought. A lot of thinking, analysing and learning till I am brain-dead XD

But right now I have some free time. Last night I made some minimal progress on my novel, "Hedatari", but since I used a completely different style of narration I had to re-write everything from scratch - so in fact I took several steps back instead of forward. But I feel that this way I will be able to move the action in a smoother and quicker way than before. I always forget about economizing my texts - I tend to describe all the isignificant, boring details, infinitely stretch the conversations for no apparent reason and lose the important things in the meantime. Thanks to some advice of madwriter I tried a different approach and for now it's going quite well :)

Apart from a novel to write there are a lot of books waiting to be read, and I'm starting to seriously think about watching "9 ends 2 outs", all because of Jenny's awesome video... See for yourself, it's seduisante x
