Re: Chit-chat
My final exams are finally over! (Except violin but it's another school so it doesn't count...) 
And now I will have to decide on my future >.< The most difficult decision ever. I have no idea what I want to do... xD

Me neither. However, I have enough time left to make a decision. Maybe it's easier to think of something you're good at. Good luck!

Re: Chit-chat
Oh...what a shame! We have had a lot of rain in the past few days but yesterday, today and tomorrow are fine, warm days. About time too, I must say. Fingers crossed for better weather for you soon!

Thanks, Davina! Just watched Reichenbach with my family. I'm upset because they refused to watch it in english.

Maybe they wanted to understand what was being said, lolol.
Hey, I'm a native speaker, and I still didn't get all the dialogue in Reichenbach until I bought the DVDs and put on the English subtitles. Lots of Brit mumbling and Brit slang and very very fast speaking going on, so I missed maybe 10% of what was being said until I finally was able to read it while watching. I sympathize with your German-speaking family! *smile*

We Americans mumble and talk too fast, too, but we do it in our own accents, so we can understand ourselves, lol. Funny how it takes a while to get your ears acclimated to a different accent-- same language, but the inflections and rhythms are all different. I can watch Sherlock now and not be quite as clueless as I was in the beginning.... or maybe I just have all the dialogue memorized from frequent viewing!

That might have been their intention! 
Anyway, I've just registered to another Sherlock forum, though it's not as popular as this one of course.
But hey, I've already seen some of our members being registered there too.

Re: Chit-chat
I've been busy lately (so you can imagine the joy of being able to properly raid the forums now I'm on a break... still working but, just not as hard on some things 
)
Currently properly at home. I'm house sitting whilst my parents go away for a bit. I was here anyway but they just thought I was convenient (j/k). I was offered the chance to come with them but who honestly wants their adult child with them on holiday? Bless them for offering though.
Anyway, 'resting' though I might be, some people are keeping me put in case they want me to travel at a moments notice. Which probably won't happen but you never know my luck (people have a habit of calling my phone the second I step into the shower. How are they managing that?!)
Just calling in; I'm not dead and I've missed you all x

Re: Chit-chat
Urghh, it's nearly Sunday already!! Where did the half-term go???
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was wondering if you'd like to have coffee...
Hmm. I really don't know. Oh, I'm sorry, did I say 'know'? I meant 'care'. I don't really care.

Re: Chit-chat

Re: Chit-chat
4 terms, which I actually prefer: matching the seasons.
But we go back in August, which I don't like.
Some areas of Scotland(like us) still have the tradiional 2 week ' tattie' hols in October, which I don't like.
We don't get proper half terms.
We just get the odd 1 or 2 days, added to in-sevice days.
