The Boast Post

[dramasnot6]

thanks pensive!

[SleepyWitch]

I've started writing a short story.
It's a whopping 15 A4 pages already.
It's got a beginning, a middle and en end.
All the characters are entirely ficitve, except some little mannerisms I copied from RL people.
Maybe I'll finish it by tomorrow or the day after.
= *great success*!

on the downside, I haven't done much else than write on the story *lazy Witch*

Yay, that's great ! Come back when you're published, 'kay ?

Nej, seriously, congratulations for having written such a great deal already .

PS: It is scientifically proven and approved by many experts in the field that eating lots of chocolate cookies has positive effects on your creativity .

[SleepyWitch]

hehe
Schoko: It's come back to publish, not when you're published
I want to put it up on here

grrrrrrrr, i have to translate Kant into English. I wish I could boast I'd already finished the translation

PS: You have just volunteered to read and criticize my story

OK, I forgive you for not starting Antony and Cleopatra.

Are you going to submit it to lit net competition? Are we still doing that in 2007? I hope so. I've got a new story running through my head that I was going to try to write over Christmas time off.

Awwww...thank you to everybody for all the congrats! I don't get a trophy because my uni is a little too poor for such extravagant spending, instead I get a t-shirt that has my name on it and says I won. Hey, free clothes that boast for me, I'm not one to complian!

I haven't been around much lately because of final papers and exams, this semester was a mess...

wow, that sounds like a lot of mess!
when is your director coming back?

(another swimming boast: did 2000m the day before yesterday and another 2000m last night; I'm taking a few days "off" after the exam, so I had lots of time to go swimming)

The director comes back next semester, which starts next month, thank God. My goodness that is a lot of swimming girl! I bow down to you....

oooooh boasting is GOOD for you? And all this time I thought being modest was a virtue.....

Well I aced my BMAT (bio-medical admissions test) which automatically shortlists me for entry into UCL for medicine - I scored in the top 5% for one of the sections!

Wow! Congratulations! That is really cool, you must be good

[Shannanigan]

Heehee...side comment...that's the same kind of bow that I used (recurve bow)...sorry, that amuses me

I just took my LSATs on Saturday, and I'm almost certain I've scored high enough to attend the law school of my choice.

(The only downside to this is that once in law school I will not be able to read as much literature as I like.)

it's way above the word limit unless we launch a long short story competition

Congratulations! I'm sure youll be able to read a bit on the side, and maybe learning about law will enhance your reading experience? Knowledge about almost anything helps in appreciating a text.

i stayed at univ till ten with a friend last Thursday to finish off an A0 poster about our London field trip.
when i came home i couldn't sleep till 2 a.m. and then I got up at 8, went to univ again to have to poster printed.
in the afternoon i went to a linguistics talk and it turned out i forgot whatever I knew about linguistics because my Education exams dragged on for half a year.
so i didn't know what the guy was talking about and felt miserable
then I felt even more miserable and felt miserable about feeling miserable and then I kicked my own *ss and decided to do something about it and do some revision

[Shadowsarin]

Told I have a good chance of getting three A's this year in College. Though I doubt I will, I'm too laided back to get such good marks...

[mir]

i . . . uh . . . am almost finished with my book? got a good PSAT score? i don't know what to brag about . . . ooh, yes i do know - i'm a good boaster!

[Jean-Baptiste]

I want to add my boasts to the grand and commendable ones already on this thread. Congratulations everyone!

I recieved A's in all of my classes this term. I got 100% on my math final, as well as 100%'s on a couple of the regular tests. (My dad said I was in the wrong major. ) I got 100% on my biology test. I got 100% on the portfolio for all work completed in my fiction writing class. And I did pretty well in speech class. It's so much fun getting perfect scores! Perhaps that's only because it doesn't happen all the time. It would surely become very dull--any drawnout period of perfection.
