Decided to ditch the previous format of my headlines for these things, and instead go for Loki’s solution.
Also, I provided some links here, seeing as it would be silly of me to expect you to have any knowledge at all about South African drama. Especially as I hardly know shit myself…

Actually I think my soultion looks odd and unaesthetical, but it was the best I could do…

And my way, of combining the date and “quote of the day” — both equally redundant — was beautiful to behold? I prefer it your way. Of course, I suck at coming up with clever headlines/titles, but I guess that’ll sort itself out eventually…

Also: Waaaah! My second to last exam starts in just over six hours! What the Hell am I doing up!?
Gonna go start on “Old Man’s War” now, and read on that until I fall asleep with my glasses on, the light ditto, and the book open in my hands. Cya.

Don’t know, I managed to get too late to the exam-results-list, the building was locked up for the weekend when I got there 17:15…
Felt like it went shitty the first 20 minutes, then decently for 5, and then very well the final 15. So I’m hoping for a B… but I really fear I’ll get a C.

One might pray, if one was into that kind of behaviour, that university professors have failed to shed the habit of remaining in the state of mind they were in last when grading. Alternately, one could pray for their success in looking beyond first impressions. :\

Well they felt like that too, it wasn’t just me. The censor showed me with his hand the quality progress of my exam before Ieft - straight forward and then right up.
So they’re aware I did better in the end. Of course, that also means they’re very aware I did poorly in the beginning.

Here’s to hoping you did well enough in the end to earn a B, then.

I did. I just hope I didn’t do so poorly in the beginning that earning a B is impossible.
