halfway through

The exams are finally over. And I'm halfway through my honours year. Sigh. At least I'm now away from all the readings and work and theorists, and able to welcome the spirit of Christmas! Not...I know that this will be the holiday which will feel most unlike the holidays when I have to slowly start researching for my HT (well, maybe not that slowly). But ever since the exams have ended, I've taken the time to really relax. Not much work done, and I pretty much rushed through my PMB proposal, which I will have to frantically edit tomorrow, since I only have a day to finalise everything before I hand it up to the department. I hope I get the grant. :P And how have I been relaxing? TV!!! Tons and tons of it. I still love my Detective Conan, but after watching an episode of D.Gray-Man on the telly, I decided to watch it online, and it's very different from Conan. D. Gray-Man is so gothic, dark and out of this world. Something I wouldn't think I would have liked, but it's very compelling and allegorical. I'm just blown away by the staggering creativity of the Japanese. And Mobtv has it for subscription, so I think I will just treat myself by purchasing the subscription for a month, and hopefully I finish all the episodes. Yar...I'm that crazy. And I think I will find it hard to do work when there are so many parties this month. Haha. Well December is always the month of merriment, and it's about time I start spending my Border's gift card. :P I'm just trying to enjoy myself before the exam results get released.
