Imagined complexity

I aced my exams. No I didn't just do well, i Aced them. I am still in chock, though I have known this for some time. I have almost been there, a few times but never gotten the straight-A-good-stuff. Really, I know that I have been getting my act together this term (after a slight disappointment in december), but I am really proud!

Oh, I bought something nice for my fist wage, as I said I would! Really, these were soo cute, on sale and in my slightly odd size. (Oh I had some champagne from your shoe...)

In other news, anyone know whet happened to [Unknown LJ tag]

Because it is so easy that I just cannot. I could say "Mamma Mia, what a film!", or "Thank You for the Music" or "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme More!". But I won't, as I do have some pride.

However, I loved the movie, though it should be said that I walked into the cinema knowing that there was no reason to look for any substance, that mostly this would be nonsense. And thus,  I was entertained the whole to-or-so hours. I laughed when I saw Benny playing the piano. I appreciated Pierce Brosnan's effort at singing (which was all that there was to it), and I loved it when someone (no spoilers!) turned gay. In short: Yay!

So I might be a bit in love with platform shoes*. Do I lose all my nerd cred? I wouldn't think so. I am enthusiastic by nature, and this is just another area I enjoy! After all, I've liked ABBA since I was eleven, I know the songs by heart, I'm bloody coming out of a closet (a rather glittery one). And it does annoy me when the "better" nerds look down at newbies because they are too much into mainstream culture. So therefore I am not humiliating myself by admitting my love for Swedish pop - I am standing up for all the nerds with misplaced lovings!

I feel so self righteous!

I've never been as much on top of my subjects than I am nowadays. Hand-ins are done up to a week ahead of their due date and I'm reading the course material now, not during the exam period. Maybe it is the lack of other things - last term I worked, and before that there was comitee meetings wherever I went. It might also be that I know this is the last year with a set curriculum, and that I am thus more motivated to work, as I see an end to physics subject that really aren't that interesting. Either way, it must be good for me.

What is less fun is the fact that my friends do not show up at lectures as much as they used to. I feel kind of lonely, when I am the only one from my regular group in the auditorium, but on a brighter note, I get to shat with the ones I do not know so well, which is good.

Still, it feels like I have WAY too much free time, and yet somehow, it all fills up, with workouts, miscellaneous culture, TV and the boy. But I wonder if I should do something more constructive - get a hobby or learn a new language (or brush up on the two that I haven't used at all in years).

Or simply sleep more

Being such a good girl, what do I spend the four hours between the lecture and the meeting I have to attend? Why, I shop for textbooks (with my credit card quavering in fear) and then promptly go to the library. The friday five community seems to be late today (and they didn't update last week) at all, so I'm wondering: Should I take one of the other friday fives out there, or wait?

I think I'll do both.

I am a geek, in several variations, and to several degrees. Maths of course, quantum mechanics, fantasy, computers, literature...

Right now I'm reading an excellent book on Shakespeare, and I am quite amused. Some things I knew before, like the fact that in the bard's times it was common for the actors, at the end of the play, to perform a small jig, regardless of the type of play. I feel that we have missed something in the evolution of the theater. Others are quite new to me - like the failed revolution of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex or a tale of an actor firing a gun at another during (and as part of) a play, but missing and instead killing one child, a pregnant woman and severely hurting a mans head.

All in all, a good read - warmly recommended.
