Exams are over! The gruelling regime of IB is over! High school, for all intents and purposes aside from the unfortunate detail of needing to show up for class to keep up appearances once in a while, is over! The end was celebrated by a swift and thorough intoxication of epic proportions of the entire class, at the mother of all drunken parties - goodness, who knew the nerds could let loose? - followed, after an appropriate recovery period, by myself spending hours today perusing the riches of Chapters and lustfully eyeing that which shall, in time, be mine, including Ironside(!) which, wtf, I am not paying that much for a hardcover copy but nevertheless I ache to read. Also, I've been re-reading Underwater Light for the hell of it, and, how I love this fic! The first few chapters, albeit, were rocky, but oh, this is where it all began! So, basically, I am now free to read to my heart's content, skip school on a whim, and maybe sneak books to read under the table if the two are at any point not mutually exclusive? Also, to seek employment in a rather panicked fashion, because gah, GAH I say, I am going to have to resort to some seriously shady business to pay for school soon... nevertheless, I have a new and profound lease on life, the chains and manacles are shed! (for the time being)
