Okay, so the end of April saw the end of my first year of college, at my university in Fort Myers (Florida).  My fall semester wasn't so hard, but the spring semester was trying to murder me.  Everyday was an early morning class, walking to and from campus, dealing with terrible roommates, and classes that were a lot more work than my first semester.  

Apparently I worked harder with all the work because I kept getting pretty good grades, some expected, most not.  So here came finals week, the day before the week (Sunday) started I'm informed my beloved grandfather passed away.   Parents and myself want me home ASAP.  So, I come home the next day and then come back that Wednesday to clean out my dorm and take one last final.  

There was a class, biology, that I did not expect to pass, and I still don't know because of a pesky hold on my account (too idiotic to explain).  But today I received a letter from my school.

I MADE THE PRESIDENTS' LIST!!!! Which means I got a fucking perfect 4.0 grade point average.  I'm so beyond excited, and needed something like this so much after the month of May (wherein I was told my cousin died) that I am on Cloud Nine.  Damn, this is awesome.


On a completely different note, how freakin' awesome was Doctor Who Saturday night?  That was an awesome piece of TV right there.  And here in the US, we Americans will be treated to the series one finale and will be forced to say goodbye to Doctor #9.

Following that line of thought, I just watched my first arc of the old series.  And that would be the first arc of the Fifth Doctor, "Castravalva".  He's cute and I think I'm gonna like him.  And I think I'm liking Tegan and Nyssa.  Right now I'm in the middle of "Earthshock".  I'm not really liking Adric.  After all the people hating on him, I really am seeing where they came from.  But I would like to see more of him, just to be a more proper judge, of course.  

So, advice.  For those with similar taste, since I love Nine so much and I'm pretty much really liking Ten, besides the Fifth Doctor, what other Doctor should I try?  Any suggestions for episodes?


And taking another turn, I have a load of icons to post tomorrow.   They will most likely be Battlestar Galactica bases.  From the miniseries, which is the best place to cap icons.  It was filmed so beautifully.

OMG, I love this icon *points up* so much.  Oh, Scrubs.

I will be posting an actually review of BSG's finale "Lay Down Your Burdens Pt. 2" this weekend. Yes, an honest to goodness review. I'm taking so much time because I needed the time to see others' points and to see the episode a couple times. As one can see, I was quite harsh in my early "reviews", so I will be quite calm and very reasonable with my review. So, this weekend, probably Saturday or Sunday, please come back and read and ENJOY!

please please please, I need more people on my flist!  I don't mean to beg

Um, on a slightly different note, did anyone else find Leoben (in my icon) creepy hot?  I don't know why, but it's weirding me out that I found he hot.  I guess they needed one male Cylon that wasn't an ugly Kevin Spacey-lookalike or a great-grandfather.  Anyway, ahem.

School fucking sucks.  Work after work after work, remind me to actually read class descriptions before I sign up for them!

So long since I have posted. Anyway, I just wanted to post that I have finished my first week of school. I have these classes: Gen. Biology, English Comp. II, British Lit., Algebra (what a joke for myself), and a virtual course-Understanding Visual and Performing Arts. I think this semester will be easier and harder than last semester. Harder for personal reasons, because I don't like my roommates and the one I did moved. Easier because I know basically what to expect from my classes and the course work.

Other than that, I am enjoying TV. I have never been so involved with TV as I am now, and never so in love with a show as BSG. Speaking of BSG, it makes me think of this past Friday's episode, which I will post my thoughts on tomorrow, promise.

Also, check out my icon! They are one of the only OTP that I will always ship and never waver from. In case someone reads this and doesn't know who they are, it's Wash and Zoe from a show a few years ago called Firefly. I also have another one of Sydney and Vaughn from Alias.

My default icon, which can be seen above, is from BSG, and what Lee is doing reminds me of something I would do. The quote is what I would be yelling while covering my ears.

I got a flipping 92 on my stats final, which gives me a B+ in the class, overall. How awesome is that? I mean, I didn't think I did bad, but I really did not expect a 92%. But thinking about it, I know that I knew what I was doing on that exam, and I could probably tell you what I did wrong without even looking at the test.

The icon I used with this post is one of my own, the only one that I like from Photoshop, and it's Lee/Kara (Apollo/Starbuck), so of course I try to make it good. The text is lyrics from Damien Rice's song "Amie" and I just liked it. I also have a very pretty icon of John and Aeryn from Farscape, made by syliasyliasylia, and I also have another new icon made by her and it's my new default.  It's Lee/Kara.  I think I'm going end up with all my icons being of them and that's just sad. 

I hate that I didn't know how to schedule classes for my first semester at FGCU. I was so happy that I didn't get 8am classes, that I stuck myself with classes at 5pm to 8. And I scheduled three classes in one day, classes that should even be near each other, let alone 15 minutes and 1 hour apart. I wish I didn't feel the pressure in my classes because it freaks me out. It sounds weird, but seriously, when my european history professor was talking about our exam next Tuesday, I came back to my dorm and was like what will happen if I drop that class? My mom was pissed, so that subject was dropped. I hate feeling this weak. And this, all this that I'm writing, so not helping.

Oh well.

Maybe my userpic will cheer me up some.
