My claim to fame is that on one of our English Literature exams which was about a Wilde play, I got 100% marks 8D I knew the subject matter so well that I wrote an essay about a subtext of it we hadn't even been taught so the examiner was super impressed haha.

Or maybe it's sad that it was literally 10 years ago and it is still a big thing to me XD hahaha~

It's impressive knowledge of a subject that you learned for your own enjoyment and ended up being useful in another setting (academic) -that's a cool thing, worth celebrating and remembering!

Three cheers for a healthy sense of accomplishment! :qwhee:

I finally got hold of the last couple novels in Tanya Huff's "Peacekeeper" series. Now I just need to find time to read them!

Akili, yay for being able to get them ^.^

I am guessing that my amount of reading will decrease from now on as I started to work on my term papers. :(

I'm still working on The Victorian Fairy Tale Book. I can't renew it anymore, so I will probably be returning it unfinished. I might ask if I can take it out again though. I'm still not really getting into it, but it's not bad, and I'm more than halfway through, so I would like to finish it.
