don't be dull, be fannish ([personal profile] katikat) wrote2005-11-21 09:18 pm

What a day :(

Today was the first day of my school practice - me as a teacher, not a student. I don't know... I kinda liked it. To teach I mean... But... I think it's simply too much for me. The students were really cool and I taught really interesting subjects but... I went to school at 7 am, returned home at 3 pm. That would be all cool and stuff but then I had to translate a bit and prepare stuff for the classes tomorrow... and suddenly it was 8 pm and I still haven't eaten my dinner. And now I feel tired and cranky and I know that even though I teach only 2 classes tomorrow, the first one is at 8 am, the second at 12.30 so there will 4 hours that I will have to kill somehow. And then I have to go to my Japanese class because I can't afford to miss any time there anymore - I missed 5 classes already when I was in Germany. And so, I will return home at 4.30 pm (hopefully). And then I will still have to prepare myself for the classes on Wednesday and since I will have to give an oral exam to one girl, I will have to study the stuff I didn't teach her too... And then there is still the stuff I need to do for my own classes at the U because in three weeks, I will have to take my own exams there...

Sorry, folks... I just feel really cranky. I haven't felt like this for months. But I took magnesium which should calm down my nerves... hopefully, because I don't think I could fall asleep in this state *sigh*

So, please, my dear friends, could you rec me a story - in any fandom - that always makes you feel really good? I will offer one too - [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock's Conflict of Interests in the Smallville fandom. It's a really LONG story told from the POV of Lex's son Conner. A really cute fic.

But at least I can show you my new icon *points*

*hugs you* Sorry to hear things are feeling a bit overwhelming at the moment. I don't have one fic that I always go to when I'm down, but right now I'm reading Pretty Electric by Raletha (http://serendipity.fanworkrecs.com/surrender/au.html) and I can't say enough wonderful things about it! I don't know if you're a 3x4 fan but this is a really original and deeply philosphical fic and the way she writes Trowa and Quatre is just marvelous!


I hope things start to look up for you soon.

Thank you so much! Is there angst in the story? Or some h/c? I have been unable to find any stories where Trowa would be hurt. I found only one where Dorothy poisoned him but that's all :(

(Sorry, just got this ^^;; ) Yup, it's quite angsty! Each chapter really grabs your emotions. Trowa especially just makes me want to give him a hig with the way Quatre treats him. I definitely, definitely recommend it. ♥ ♥
