Spring break at last! *is so grateful* Finishing papers and studying totally destroyed my sleep schedule last week. Ugh, I was pulling semi-all-nighters and then taking obscenely long afternoon naps. I was a hurting unit, but I finally got proper sleep last night. w00t!

My Victorian Britain midterm was actually somewhat fun. My teacher told my class to write two two-page essays (one on imperialism and one on Victorian liberalism) and to hand the papers in on Friday. The imperialist one was moreso an analysis of Bernard Porter's Absent-Minded Imperialists. (<---Interesting book, by the by.) My pro-capitalist tendencies kind of leaked out a bit for the second essay, but all in all I'd say it was a good essay. I was very pleased to find that I recalled people and policies without having to look them up. Apparently I'm learning something after all. XD

I finally managed to cobble together a resume so that I may possibly get a shiny summer internship at Liberty Mutual that I don't really want but kind of need. It's only been a week since I've submitted my resume, but already a man in Software Development is requesting an interview. *grins and keeps fingers crossed*

Yesterday I also met with [livejournal.com profile] last_archangel for caffeinated beverages. She's so fun to hang out with, and she also told me about this really awesome tea called Red Rose (which I'm drinking right now!). Besides being very yummy tea, it also comes with a little glazed porcelain figure (animals at the moment) that was made in England. It's like those cereal box prizes but better. X3 Since it was right across the street, we actually went to the downtown grocery store to buy some tea. We tried to get sugar cubes too, but they were all out. ;__;

So for spring break I'll be trying to get some art, writing (at least 400 words a day), and work finished. Today is Personal Finance Organization, Classical Mythology Homework I, and Comic Reading Day.


Also, since I actually have time for a change: drabble requests! Fandoms I will write for are the Bible, history (French Revolution, American Revolution, French and Indian War, WWII), Masters of Their Field, Sherlock Holmes, 1776, Hannibal Lecter books & movies, Underworld, and Constantine/Hellblazer.

If you would like a 100 word drabble, then feel free to comment with character, pairing, prompt, quote, or whatever floats your boat. ^^

You have this thing called a 'spring break'? Damn, why can't I have a spring break?
As for sleep...well, there's no such thing as free time and sleep for students, mah dear. ;___; The system is a slave driver and we are education's bitches.
I had 6+hrs of sleep in the past 50+ hours. Dun mind me.

OMG, hannibal. Yes, please do. <3

The mention of Red Rose as an obscure, esoteric tea very much amuses me, because that is pretty much Canada's national tea. Almost every house in the country had a box of Red Rose;)

Enjoy your holiday!

What kind of figure did you get? I got a turtle, who has officially become my sidekick!

how about a Lucifer/Lilith drabble? I wanted to write a full story but haven't had a chance yet. Maybe this could help.

Oooh! Drabbles! Julien/Nathaniel, fencing. *grin* It's something I've been working on, but I want to see what you'll write.

Enjoy your break! *waves*

Hahaha, yeah, school is completely killer at times but it sounds like you're having fun, so that's cool. Good luck with the interview!

And I seriously cannot resist the offer of drabbles - could you do a little segment on James Wolfe and the siege of Quebec? That would rock my socks off! XDD

ooooh, drabbles. >.>
<.<

May I request an American Revolution drabble? Hamilton/Lafayette has piqued my interest over the past week or so. Whatever comes out of your lovely self, I'd love.
