So, I take the GMAT tomorrow and thank everything because I seriously ran out of steam for studying it last Saturday and the guilt at not cramming this week has been crippling (but productive because I've written two chapters of These Four Kings, one posted one not, and started a new Suits fic, and demanded more Incline from Laura).
Anyway, I took today off to ...well, I had much more of a vague plan seven weeks ago when I requested the day off, plans I should have formalized. At the moment, I'm planning to grab coffee and have the brakes replaced on the car before having a nice lunch (at this little local place that does rather divine Southern Cuisine), grabbing a spinach feta croissant from a bakery in town (I will be heartbroken if they've already sold out by the time I get there. I was told once that they only make three a day), and then a late yoga class tonight. Yoga helps me sleep.
I'm going to take my study materials to the car shop and convince myself to remember that negative exponents means taking the reciprocal and how to find the circumference of a circle, both of which I missed on my mock test last week. I'm not going to study, not really. Part of me actually enjoys answering the questions. And then on Monday morning I'm donating all my study materials to a needy business undergrad :D
Unrelated to the GMAT (kinda except in the bizarre way in my head), I ran across a couple of conversations someplace else on LJ from a few people who are experiencing the pain of fandom not being quite as entertaining for them any longer. They were, in some ways, farewell speeches. I remembered that feeling, and those ("fandom is dying") speeches, from several years ago with Lotrips. It upset me then where it doesn't now with Remus/Sirius, and not because I love them less than I do bb/dm. I know (I KNOW) it's not true for everyone but I've discovered that while I might move on to something new (Hello Mike and Harvey)(and possibly Clint/Natasha if they don't get out of my head soon), I still write in my old fandoms. More than that, I still delight in writing in my old fandoms. I'm glad for that. People (and friendships) move on and in my old age (God so old :D), I find myself less upset by that, too. I can be happy for them and I can let go of old resentments (and new resentments--I'm attempting to live resentment free), and I'm glad for that, too. I just want everyone to be happy (and write me Natasha/Clint stories--I really want that, too).
I feel like I should say "namaste" here. Yoga, get out of my head :D (Actually don't because I'm happier (and inversely more frustrated) now than I have been in years. I'm working through the frustrating parts.)
To the car shop (and coffee omg coffee)
