Huzzah, sort of.

So, Neuro exam was today. On the plus side, no more exams, huzzah!

On the minus side, I have recalled that there is a reason I don't do medical subjects (aside from the whole "I freak out at the sight of blood" thing): Namely, I am terrible at remembering that is the X is damaged the pathway between Y and Z is broken, meaning someone has N disorder. All those medical terms, especially the parts of the brain just... blur together for me.

*sigh*

So, after I was done I went an celebrated by, erm, going to the second hand book shop. Got a a few books:
- The High Lord. Third in Trudi Canavan's Black Magician Trilogy. I've read it, but I wanted to actually own all three.
- Smoke and Mirrors, by Neil Gaiman. Only read a little of it, but I'm coming to suspect I prefer Gaiman's short stories to his novels.
- And two of Diana Wynne Jones's Chrestomanci novels. One more and I'll have the complete series. As you might have guessed, there is a slight fondness for Children's stories here.

In other news, Doctor Who wank! Though I personally think it's more someone poking fun than actual wank, but what the hell.

Also, it is damned foggy out tonight.

Bloody Dementor orgies.

ETA: And now I'm all asquee because of the BIG HUGE MASSIVE DOCTOR WHO FINALE SPOILERS.

I'm re-reading the first Chrestomanci book at the moment. It's still really good.

The first one I read of them was The Many Lives of Christopher Chant.

So I may have a mild obsession with Christopher (especially when he's grown up and Chresomanci)

I just finished reading that one today. I feel the need to try and pick up some more.
