House, and school stuff

[ria_oaks]

My brain's rebelling against me giving a detailed review, so suffice to say that I really, really enjoyed this episode. I've been looking forward to it for weeks, and it didn't disappoint. It was great to finally see House's parents and get that insight into his family life. I've got some so-far disjointed thoughts about his father and their relationship, but I haven't really formed them into any kinda of coherent argument yet. Maybe later, but prob not cause I'm lazy. *ahem* Anyway, there were definitely some touching moments in there, as well as a whole ton of humour. LOVED the motorcycle, all the ensuing scenes (the ducklings seeing it for the first time was priceless, esp Chase's reaction and House revving the engine), and of course House in a leather jacket. I was so, so happy that he actually bought it - I've been hoping he would since 'Autopsy'. Needless to say, I also loved all the House-Wilson so-texty-it's-not-really-subtext-anymore scenes. They're so canon. ;p "But unlike your wife, I can make [taking you out to dinner] worth your while". Oookay, House, whatever you say. o.o And aww for Wilson's wife not speaking to him. Poor guy. :( She's probably mad cause he gave $5000 to his best friend to buy a motorcycle. Speaking of Julie, I wonder if we're finally going to meet her this season...? I want to see more about Wilson's marriage...



(Copy-pasting the next 2 paragraphs from an e-mail I just wrote, cause I don't want to bother writing it out again for this post...)

I've been thinking a lot about my program recently. Somehow in spite of having spent monthes and monthes thinking about my IDST program, I'm now not sure about it. I've really been enjoying my History course, and I'm thinking it might be a better idea to Major in something. Problem with IDST is that it makes the possibilty of getting into Grad school that much slimmer, since the application requirements are usually a Major or even an Honours degree. *sigh* Not that I necessarily want to go to Grad school, but I don't like the idea of having that possibilty closed off, at least without having to take a lot of extra courses down the road. And I don't even know if I really like what I'm supposed to be studying. *eyeroll*

Thing is, it looks like it would be really hard to switch into the History Major program now, since all I have is 6 credits of first year History and these 6 credits (300-level). I'd need another 6 100-200 level credits, and it's not really feasible now without taking another year. And I honestly don't know if I even want to, though I do really like this course and I do find History interesting in general. Just considering it, I guess. With a Lit minor, since I already have a fair number of Lit credits.

Meh, anyway, I don't know. My brain's imploding from this, and I don't have much time to decide. I should probably go to Arts Advising, but I really don't know if I even do want to switch. It'd be a big hassle, and I just don't know if I actually care that much. I'm taking several History courses in my program, anyway.

random comment: I've got an annoying urge to re-play FFVI, thanks in part to today's RPGamer column where several people wrote letters about replaying it, and in part to having listened to the soundtrack today. Nooo, I don't have time and I need to actually finish my other games *coughSH2cough*. /random comment

Nothing more to say right now, and my wrists are killing me. Bed now, finish reading "As You Like it" tomorrow morning, then class, then work, then LOST! Woot. What I know about this ep has me nervous, but other than what's been said in the official promo/description I'm basically unspoiled. Eeep. *crosses fingers that Sawyer will be okay and will have teh hawt mansex with Jack upon their reunion*.

ETA: Oh, forgot to mention - rainbowpegacorn, in case you don't know, chapter 16 pt 2 of Draco Veritas is up. ^__^ Give me a shout sometime and we can talk - we need to make our GoF plans! I'll give you a call sometime later this week if I don't hear from you. I still need an HP-themed t-shirt for the premiere. *muses*

Tonight's episode was brimming with gay subtext.

Lol, even you noticed it? It really was that obvious, wasn't it? I like episodes that make me feel justified in being a slasher. XD

Sure, talk to you Monday. Good luck on your midterm. :)

I thought about it, but those kinds of things tend to make me sick. <_< I'd prefer the normal one... Yeah. I'm so happy that everyone survived. ^_^ Though Gareth's death was sad. We knew of course that he'd eventually die, but I never expected to see it.. You mean my Shannon one? It's not my new default one, anyway, I just wanted a Shan icon. ^_^ And you know I can't comment on rumours, don't you? ;p Tuesday would be good. I have a term paper due Friday. ;_; We'll talk about it on Monday...
