Dude...where IS everyone?!I totally posted a review of 3x05, updated the spoiler section, etc. And nobody's around replying! The other day you guys were flooding my inbox with reply notifications. Today? Nada!
Wah.

Sorry, I'm a little short in time today. And I'm not too good in episode reviews anyway. But I'll definitely read that new spoiler tomorrow.

Aww, you mean you missed us?  That's sweet!
I was feeling extra crappy yesterday. Spent the whole day on the couch. Guess I was recovering from Halloween. (No, I didn't party or get drunk or anything. I'm too tame and mild for such things! I did, however, stay up later than usual and consume A LOOOT of sugar! I'm chronically void of energy, anyway. So, it doesn't take much to wear me down.)
But I'm back now, was happy to see your review, replied to it and am gonna jaunt on off now to check out your spoiler update! Yay! Speaking of upcoming episodes, next week's looks seriously intriguing! I hope it's as awesome as it looks! I hope Miss Bela wins me over. Here comes her second chance!
P.S. Please forgive any disjointedness, typos, etc. (you know, more than usual, that is!) in tonight's posts. I've posted them while keeping one eye on the TV, watching my other biggest celeb crush, John Rzeznik, on that crappy Great American Band show. (Stop booing him, people!) Damn him, he's making me watch reality TV! What's next? Jensen hosting a golf game?! AAAARRRRGGHH!!!

Ahahaha Jensen hosting a golf game.
I'm perpetually exhausted right now. I have way too much on my plate. Pulled an all-nighter to write an essay. Then fell asleep from 2:30 - 8:30 after classes. Opened my email at 9:45 and discovered a reminder that there's a debate party tonight. Sigh. They sent it at 8:00pm and named the theme. But even if I'd remembered or had gotten the email in time, I wouldn't have gone. I'm a) too tired b) too swamped with things to do. If I went, I would lose precious hours of work time and I'd end up sleeping in tomorrow and losing even more. Alas! But I feel like I've been left out of a lot of debating stuff lately. Sigh.

Looks like this thread needs reviving! Where's everyone? Nobody's even reviewed the latest episode! o.O

Hello!
I was busy preparing for my exams and trying to keep my panic in line (which was a tough job). I made it through my first exam (In public, and to my huge surprise the audience didn't bother me at all. Maybe I get less shy with age?) and then got sidelined by a nasty bronchitis. I had to delay the second exam and spent the last week in my bed, mostly coughing and sleeping. Now that I feel better I'm bored to hell and back to my computer.
I suck at episode reviews but I'll see what I can do.

Hey, Jule! Was it a singing exam? I don't like presenting things in front of people, which is weird, because I don't mind talking in class in front of them. You must've found your courage somewhere!

No, no singing. I'm probably one of the worst singers in the world.
I'm a law student. When you take your final exams you have six written examinations, five hours each, and one essay which you write at home over one month. When you passed your essay and your written examinations you are invited to two verbal examinations. So far, that's fine with me. And now comes the unfair part: While you have your verbal examinations, everybody who wants to listen can come in and watch you sweat. You end up sitting there in front of a bunch of people, which I thought would be pure horror for me since I avoid being in the spotlight at all costs, but it wasn't so bad after all. I just forgot about them. That's what I meant by audience. There's most certainly a better word (and I'd be happy if you could let me know which).

Ahhhhh. I feel like I probably already knew you were a law student. Good ole memory. She's like a sieve sometimes!
Law, though! Wow. So this whole thing...it's your Bar exam, right?
Very impressive. I've never even considered trying for law school. It's too hard to get the marks at my school anyway, but I always wanted to teach.
I'll be rooting for you, though! Good luck!

Hi, Jule! Glad the exam went well and that you're feeling better! Bronchitis SUCKS!!
As for me, Sarah, I just haven't been in a computer mood for a while. See, what I usually do is, instead of regular smaller doses of the computer, I go for infrequent but really long doses. I'll stay online for hours and hours, then I don't want to go near a computer for about a week.
But, I've dropped by and spewed my usual rambling review (hey, trying to interpret rambling probably keeps the mind sharp! I make y'all WORK for it!) Saw a couple other reviews there too, so the place is now revived! Yay! You have not been abandoned!

Ah, see, I'm just an addict. It's tough having a computer in your very small residence room. It's always THERE. Just WAITING to be used. Alas.
I saw and commented on your review!

Thank you!
I don't know what a Bar exam is. Might be it. Here it's called 'Erstes Staatsexamen' (means 'First Stateexam') After I'm done with it I'll have to work for a judge, a district attorney, a lawyer and in an office that has something to do with law for 21 months and then I'll have to take another exam, the 'Second Stateexam'. It's a pretty stupid system in Germany. It takes ages to get it done and become a lawyer (or a judge/district attorney). Not that I want to be one anymore, but it's too late to do something else, so I'll somehow have to pull through. I'll go for an office job when I'm finally finished, that'll suit me better than being a lawyer. Standing in a courtroom every day is so not my cup of tea.

Oh, wow. That IS a different system. I mean, as far as I know, here you do your LSATS during your undergrad, and they help determine whether you get in to law school. Law school takes 3 years to get your diploma. And at the end of it, you have to take this big exam, which I'm pretty sure includes an oral exam. Often, people end up working in law firms with older, more experienced lawyers, but sometimes they don't. And eventually you can be asked to become a judge. (REALLY eventually...) And in that instance, you have 24 hours to decide, and once you've made your decision, it's done. If you become a judge, you are forced to drop all your cases, etc without notice. And you can't touch them again.
Teaching, on the other hand...the hard part is getting in. And then it's one year and you're sent out on your own to get a job. Lucky for me, I'm pretty sure that if I can get in and get my BEd, I'll be able to get a job with the school board in my hometown. It's not ideal by any means, but if I have to live with my parents for a bit until I make enough cash to move somewhere else, I'll deal. Might go for international teaching, too. It's all so up in the air. Leaving school terrifies me.
