Haven't been on LJ since December and I really missed it. I needed a break to study for my exams (which are in two days). I have been moody for months until I finally understood that I really didn't want to become a teacher. I'm still going to take the test but only because I have studied hard since September and by respect for my professors, who have encouraged me and put a lot of faith in me (I'm one of the best students and they really wanted me to succeed). And because it's fun to think on a subject for 5 hours.
History will still be a passion, but I don't want to teach it.
So now, I just have to find what I want to do. It's the first time that I don't know where I'm going and it's kind of unsettling. A few ideas here and here, so we'll see.

In a totally non-sequitur way, I haven't read BTVS fics since December and I'm sure there is a lot of good ones to catch on.
BTW, I received Firefly for my birthday. Wow. This is what TV is about, people. I need a Jayne icon.

Damn, it's good to be back.

Happy birthday toantennapedia !
May this day be full of good things -cake, presents and friends singing loudly and off-key cheesy birthday songs.

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of disappointed shells that dropped behind.

GAS! Gas! Quick, boys!-- An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And floundering like a man in fire or lime.--
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,--
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
