Lazy days

This week I didn't do much of anything. Not strictly true: I drove again (I can now start and stop the car without problems almost all of the time!), did a lot of work for the OTW and made minor progress with other things. But that's what it feels like, because I didn't do the things that were most necessary, e.g. studying (except a bit of Russian) and working on my Bachelor's thesis. Same as always.

I got all the courses I wanted, but I didn't get a place in the special program I applied for. That means I have time to sing in the choir, but I spent two weeks telling myself that not being able to sing wouldn't be so bad and now I have a hard time being excited about singing.

[livejournal.com profile] sga_santa sign-ups are open! I like reading people's wishlists, some of the prompts sound very good. I hope someone writes Sora&Ford having adventures.
I never participated yet and I'd like to, but I'm not convinced I could finish a story. On the other hand maybe having a recipient would be added motivation? I'm currently trying to write a fic for [livejournal.com profile] sga_saturday and I told myself if I finish that one I can do [livejournal.com profile] sga_santa too.

Today is an "eat chocolate and watch TV" kind of day, with a bit of statistics in between. I almost forgot that this is actually interesting.

ETA: I actually wrote a (short) story! \o/ The first one in ages! It's "only" a retelling of "The Rising" with a few details about Pegasus culture changed, but still. It looks like a prologue to a larger story to me, but I strongly suspect that I'm never going to write that one. (Although it would give me an opportunity to write a lot of competent!Elizabeth... hm.) Would anyone be willing to read through it and tell me if it's actually interesting?
