ya so how about a real life update under the cut cause I know not everyone cares (but to everyone who I hope I was once important to here I hope you do)

so yeah of course I kinda wanted a break post-Sherlock because of the drama and everything and I just .. ugh I know it got real toxic here for a while and I didn’t need that in my life. so I took what I thought was a break. I needed it, tbh. and I’m glad I got it. recently a few lovelies over at twitter (where I had taken refuge) said it’s died down and is much quieter. just a quick scroll through my dash tells me that’s true. and honestly if I’m going to return like I want to, I don’t need the extra drama lol

that said.

I know I said I was going to Toronto. AND I DID. AND I MET BENEDICT. He talked to me <3 and I got my copy of How To Stop Time signed, so that was fun. me and a few of the friends I met up with there also ended up in the press photos! what a night to remember! you can see all the good stuff here:

The Current War was fabulous and my heart is torn in two as TWC goes down in flames, pushing the film back to next year. :( and I’m hoping HW didn’t destroy it in the process… it was nearly perfect as it was at the festival (despite those stupid critics’ reviews)

In real life….. I went back to school!!! I never talked much about it here but I dropped out of college in 2007, just 2 years into a college degree. I wasn’t making my grades and I had no money to pay tuition. fast forward to this spring a friend tells me her hubby’s gov’t workplace was looking to hire but you had to be a student. long story short, I ended up applying and taking just one course for the fall to get myself started. Just a Composition course, since it was required. also going in, I had to have a degree I was working towards with that job if I got it, so on a whim I chose Global Studies. I honestly think I made a good choice, as I just went to a course counselor the other day and I am EXCITED for all the required classes I need for this degree. They are either things I’ve studied before or things I’m highly interested in. I decided next semester I’ll take Math just to get it done (but that’s another story in itself as I’ll probably need 2-3 math classes to get the single course credit I need) and start over again in French. French was my first foreign language at the age of 4, and it was drilled into me by my high school teacher for 2 more years in a fairly immersive environment. But this was 15 years ago and I’m really rusty lol but it’ll be nice to have a class I’m good at while taking on a class I know I’ll struggle with.

going through all this though, I still haven’t gotten the gov’t job. it’s very specific and no one knows when it will be posted. so I just have to stay on alert and it’s an excellent reason to stay in school (besides the fact that I really want to do school for me now. and for my well being and my future)

I guess that’s really it though. I look forward to reconnecting with you all, especially the friends I’m so sorry I feel like I’ve left behind or abandoned. It wasn’t something I wanted to do at all. I just couldn’t be around the drama as it wasn’t good for my mental health or my emotions. 

I hope to see you all more and hit me up on here, would love to catch up with some of you as well!! <3
