Hikago Deathmatch + Life

laneroseFor anyone who's missed the competition, although I think most of the people who would be interested on my f-list are also participating, I'm taking party in DW's Hikago Deathmatch. Round one works can be found here. I... will avoid commenting on the fics for the moment. ^.^;;;
Also, took the bar exam. Really freaking hope that I passed. Because not passing would suck. The two questions I remembered because I had no idea WTF they were asking (one for each day, which is clearly a great record, lol, and I really did write WTF?! next to the one on Wednesday), I later managed to determine that I got right through dumb luck, so hey, good sign! But I also completely missed half an essay question and am pretty sure I screwed up the MPT, so hey, who knows? Results aren't out until November, so I've decided not to worry about it in the mean time. Have had a wicked headache all day, too. When I got on the train last night to head home, I'm pretty sure the conductor thought that I had been drinking or doing drugs or something because he told me to "get home safe." Which just isn't something one says to a person on a rush hour train in NY. Such is my life. @_@ But it made me laugh, so hey, win for him. ^_^
Anyway, I'm on vacation for the first time in forever until I start work in October. Fic will probably get written, although I'm working on an original thing, too, so we'll see which wins. I'm also planning to travel a bit - haven't decided on a destination yet, though, so if anyone's got a recommendation, do let me know! Tentatively eyeing the U.K. - maybe do a run through the major cities in each country? I like the idea of doing Wales and Scotland since I've never been, and of doing England at a time of year when I'm not freezing to death. May pop over to Ireland. Alternatively, I've been looking at doing a cruise, either from Barcelona and seeing most of Italy, or from Vancouver and seeing Alaska. If anyone has actually done any of these things and has a recommendation, that would be kind of awesome.
Nice to see you all again! ♥

Date: 2012-07-26 10:33 pm (UTC)I've just got through the first battery of accounting exams so believe me I sympathise. Very painful having such a long wait but I suppose it's at least long enough you can put it out of your mind for a bit? (I feel like a hypocrite saying that).
Also congratulations on work. What are you up to?
Also, UK. I am in the UK, specifically London. Let me know if you do make it over. Other than that, Edinburgh is great, and I had a lot of fun in Barcelona.

Date: 2012-07-26 10:57 pm (UTC)Eeek - accounting exams! Interestingly, the place where I took the bar was the same as the place where my dad took the accounting exams here. Such is life? And I'll try, lol. No need to feel like a hypocrite, since that's my usual advice, too.
Lawyerly-ness. XD It's a bit weird that you can get a job as a lawyer before the board actually certifies you as one, but that's been the practice for a bajillion years, so we're stuck with it now. I'm going to be working for a firm in NYC, though, so I'm pretty stoked. (Assuming I don't fail the bar and get fired. X_X)
And I will!!! Because we should totally meet up if we're in the same local! =D
