Happy Halloween! Apparently this is going to be my second post of the month. XD

It's not so much that things haven't been happening as that nothing particularly interesting has been happening, and I've not been posting because frankly I've bored myself at the idea of rambling on about how I'm pleased with my grades.

Study abroad stuff is coming along well, though. Last week I turned in a packet of forms and information, and I got my International Student Identification Card, so I think what's left for me to do is pay the deposit and figure out plane tickets. Which is actually turning out to be something of an ordeal, because England's gonna want me to have a set departure date when I first arrive, but I want to do some traveling after the program's over, but I don't have concrete plans yet. Since I don't want to travel by myself, I don't really think I can have concrete plans until I make friends with people in England who might want to travel with me. It's becoming a bit of a mess, and I've emailed a student travel agency to see what advice they can give me, but I haven't heard back from them yet, gah.

(Though heart_of_man, still interested in me coming to Germany for a bit after the program's over? The program ends May 15.)

In terms of fandom, Waters of Mars is beginning to fill me with dread. I want new canon, but on the other hand, I'm scared it's going to be something I won't like. Of course this applies even more to the last specials, but aadskgl. Getting scared. :p

I haven't been watching Sarah Jane, mostly because I haven't seen S2 yet. That'll be out on Netflix November 10, so I'm sorta torn between waiting for that and them moving to S3, or just starting S3 now. I think I'm patient enough to wait, though. For now, at least. XD

Also, somehow I got back into reading epic Harry Potter fics. *sigh* I do this every few years, since that makes time for good stuff to build up again, but now I've got an idea I like for an epic Harry Potter fic myself and I feel like staring at my brain in disbelief. It's been three or four years since I've written a HP fic outside of Remix, and I couldn't even finish the one long fic there I started. WTF is up with my brain now?

Well, there are at least more DW fics I'm going to try and write, hopefully soon. It'd be nice to get them done before Ten's run is over so that I can just be Jossed rather than writing AUs.

Definitely! Glad to hear school's still going well.

All right! I'll email you soon so we can figure out some details and then I can get my plane tickets! :D

Yay! I'm glad your trip stuff is going well. This is the final week for me to submit paperwork and payments to ISV for my New Zealand trip so I've been doing a lot of that stuff. Did you have to buy traveler's insurance for your trip? Who did you use? I still need to get some but I only have tomorrow to purchase it. *facepalm* I could go with the people ISV reccommends but I wanted to shop around. Just wondering if you had a suggestion!

yay for epic hp fics. We just did a gigantic mailing at work and all I did while stuffing papers was read 40+ chapter fics. Not bad. ;)

My program is giving me insurance, so sorry, I can't really help. You should probably go with recommendations, but I can talk to Beth and see what she used when abroad if you like.

Thanks, but that's ok. I have to have it done today so I'll just use the recommended vendor. They're not too bad, but I was hoping to pay a little less. Hope you had a happy Hallowe'en!
