 I applied to Bayreuth, Erlangen, Heidelberg, Konstanz, Mannheim and Tübingen.

As of now, I got prematurely accepted into Konstanz which is like ... whoa, how the hell did that happen? And while I'll only get the official acceptance in August, I have an email that says that it's binding and that they can't just take it back if they find people who are more awesome than me. This is not a usual thing but I sure as hell won't complain. I was having this mopy "they're not going to accept me anywhere anyway and I'll be lucky if any of those schools takes me" attitude and then, boom, about an hour after I applied for Konstanz on Sunday I get that mail. I was .... I have no idea how to describe it but it was the best confidence boost ever.

Now I'm done with my applications and it's basically wait and hope. My dad is pretty confident that they'll all take me although he is a bit disappointed that I ended up not applying to Freiburg, another really good school that my uncle happens to teach at. I was going to but dropped it from my list because there was nothing remotely interesting for me to apply to.

Also, we've been joking about what I need to do in my first week of university once I get there: find a male student who is good at math and preferably bad at languages and latch on to him. I was telling a friend about  this yesterday and he immediately asked why it had to be a guy. Obvious answer: The likelihood of a guy being bad at languages and good at math is a lot higher than with a girl.

I still haven't seen Transformers 2. I tried on Sunday but I was too tired. Nevermind that Luke then kept me awake for ages. i have however watched Torchwood: Children of Earth Day One last night and it's interesting. There's the whole conspiracy angle to it with this, the notion that they will recruit new members and Jack, Ianto and Gwen work really well together even without Tosh and Owen but it's not like they pretend they were never there. Also, there is this really interesting concept of Jack and Ianto being a couple now and there's something really interesting about it because there are pairings that I feel get stale once they get together but at this point, it's not all lovey dovey (yet), so it's cool to watch that. Let's see if it lasts.

I need to catch up on my smut challenge really badly. I still have to write affection (Tim/gf), doubt (Zach/Janna), anguish (Wes/Hobbie), ambition (?), enthusiasm (Kev/Lara) and suspicion (?). And I have to catch up on JulNo. I don't know what my current WC is but with applications and such I'm probably behind by now. But I want to get some writing for both the smut challenge and JulNo done today along with my other prompts I still have.

happy hour + evening + pint
too much information + it's about time + tablespoon / teaspoon
solid gold
primordial
historic
bedtime
dab
pinch
dash
scoop

That's basically my to-do list for this month. I just want to finish those, hit 50k on JulNo and post as much as possible.

I just watched the season finale of Torchwood and it felt like the actual finale with everything that happened. I just don't see it continuing and that is kind of sad because while it didn't start out too good, it became something really great as it went on and really found its voice when sex stopped being the main subject and became one of the themes but not the only thing the series dealt with.

I can't find anything on this being Torchwood's final season and I hope it isn't although I can't see how it would continue. John could join the team but I just don't see that happening. Martha was a gueststar in season two and I could see her becoming a main character in season three. But I just don't know how it would go on.
