Guess who's DONE with her MA assignments? That's right, THIS ACADEMIC ROCK STAR RIGHT HERE. The celebratory soundtrack in my mind sounds a lot like this.


Anyway, let's do a writing meme to celebrate. Because reasons. The first line of the last 20 fics posted, newest first.


Contrary to all expectations, Monroe falls asleep the moment his head hits the pillow. - not your average lullaby

John doesn’t know what else to do so he does what he does best. - Courtship

The way Dean sees it, it’s going to happen one way or another, and probably sooner than later. - Full Tang

“I can get out of this,” Sherlock says. - your frayed ends all tied up

Nick is running. - Catch of the Day

“The scumbag’s never going to show up,” Doyle grumbles. - Birthday Stakeout

What did you get a Blutbad for a birthday? - Birthday Gamble

“You’re spoiling him rotten.” - Birthday Treat

It’s always like this, or at least they feel like always; these middle-of-the-night, heart-in-mouth, blood-rushing-rushing-possibly-literally visits. - sing no songs except of restless blood

The dreams start gradually. - All Things Mortal

Robbie remembered being a fresh faced recruit, attending his first week at the training school and being told that being a copper meant you had to be prepared for anything. - Life's Sweetest Reward

Another day, another tedious industry party. - Caricias

The hospital smells like pain and disinfectant, all the things Patrick associates with the last few months, all the things that tell him he’s alive. - i know i’m bad news

“Oopsie-daisy. There we go,” Danny says, hoisting Steve out of the car. - A Hard Day’s Night

"You're late," Robbie says. - is not the past all shadow

“No,” Danny says firmly. “Absolutely not.” - Ready to Rock, Ready to Roll

The thing is, in their line of work they eat a lot of biscuits. - Jammy Dodgers Are Not the Only Fruit

There are no prophesies about Sam Winchester because no one sees him coming. - what rough beast, its hour come around at last

Lewis chooses to have this confrontation in the hotel where Williams and the other NDA agents are staying. - Prophesy in Part

Sam is bored. - Summer of ‘73


Well that covered 12 different fandoms: Grimm, Lewis, Hawaii Five-0, Strictly Come Dancing, Great British Bake Off, Masterchef, Supernatural, Harry Potter, The Professionals, Bandom, The X-Files, Sherlock. Wow, I really do get around :D Also I clearly have a thing about dropping the reader right in the middle of action/dialogue which isn't that much of a surprise.

Well that killed some time. Goes to contemplate dinner now.

It was quite interesting to do, didn't realise just how much 'mid action' starts I used :D And yeah, I really am promiscuous :D

I am relieved and only hoping that the tutor comments won't add a lot of work... Holiday soon though!

Onneksi olkoon! :)

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2014-08-06 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
Kiitos!

Hei, olen tulossa pariksi viikoksi Poriin, 9-22 elokuuta. Haluaisitko vaikka kahvitella joku päivä?

[identity profile] monkiainen.livejournal.com 2014-08-10 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Sopii mainiosti :) Mä olen tosin ma-pe koulussa 9-15.30 joten tapaaminen menee pakostikin iltapäivään. Laitan sulle yksärillä kännykännumeroni, niin voidaan vaikka tekstailla tarkemmin asiasta.

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2014-08-11 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, got it! Kiitos, tekstailen huomenissa kun meni myöhäiseksi tänään :)

That's great :) Congratulations and well done!

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2014-08-06 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you very much! I'm happy that's over mostly...

[identity profile] citrusjava.livejournal.com 2014-08-06 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
YAY for getting all of that done!!!

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2014-08-06 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! Tutor comments were largely positive too so not too much to add/change.

[identity profile] citrusjava.livejournal.com 2014-08-07 07:54 am (UTC)(link)


That's really really awesome!!!


Um, I'm not sure I understand how this all works, for you, so if you feel like explaining, I'd like to understand. But if not, that's cool :)

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2014-08-08 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
I assume that by 'all of this' you mean my studies? I'm atypical in that I'm doing my current MA (in Education, focus on Higher Education) very part-time alongside and paid by my job. So I've done all my higher education degrees in the UK, and have BSc, MSc and a PhD. Then I got my first job as a lecturer and as a part of that you need to do a Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching which I did last year. That is essentially 60 masters level credits. You can then apply to continue on for the full MA (which is 180 credits altogether) and with Head of Department approval you get that paid for. So that's what I'm doing at the moment, at the same uni I teach in. The 3 modules and assignments I've just finished covered another 40 credits. So I have 1 20cred module left, and then the MA dissertation which is the final 60creds.

And yes, in case you were wondering, I am clearly mad for doing this! :D

[identity profile] citrusjava.livejournal.com 2014-08-08 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
Holly shit, that's a lot! Wow! What does crating a module involve?
And wow, dong that *while also working*! ahh...

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2014-08-08 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Crafting a module? Depends on whether I'm taking it or teaching it! :D The former involves sitting on seminars and debating and talking, and then doing the assignment and readings. Actually planning one and teaching it is hell of a lot more work, having to consider learning outcomes and pedagogical issues, session content, assessment, then actually marking the assessment, dealing with students emails and questions and general whining, being depressed and excited in equal measure :D

[identity profile] citrusjava.livejournal.com 2014-08-08 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, you use academic words I don't know :)
It does sound like a whole lot of work!

[identity profile] teithiwr.livejournal.com 2014-08-06 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoohoooo congrats on the MA assignments!

[identity profile] kat-lair.livejournal.com 2014-08-06 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Woop, thank you. Just got comments back from my favourite tutor (I want to be him when I grow up, basically) which are largely positive and the points to consider are actually well thought out and helpful.

[identity profile] teithiwr.livejournal.com 2014-08-14 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It's so great to get good feedback from people!

Thank you very much! Just need to do tidy the references and do a few small alterations now... :)
