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.

The Black Magician trilogy is awesome! I love those books. Haven't gotten around to reading her new trilogy yet...I just imagine it won't be as good because I got so hooked on the first one :(

I had a look at the synopsis for it, and it didn't sound quite as appealing to me.

That said, according to the author's website, there may be sequels to the Black Magician books in the works.

A sequel, eh...it's such a shame that Akkarin didn't survive, though. I'd enjoy a sequel much more (I feel) if he were in it as well. I might check the website, though, see what's going on.
