blamethewizardFINALS=DONE. AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING THROUGHOUT THE LAND.
Now I can read (and possibly write, if I get the nerve again) fic and other non-school related items sans-guilt. Woo-hoo.
NOT SO FUN: I have to be at work in 1.5 hrs, because I don't have a "normal" job that a MASSIVE SNOW INCURSION means you don't have to go. Honestly this snowstorm is not that bad, but the timing is freaking awful.
OH AND MERLIN SEASON FINALE (I watched, rather guiltily, while polishing my term paper yesterday). There is so much that could be said but like always, I get hung up on the little stuff. Stuff like this:
We find out Merlin's dad fled for Ealdor after escaping from Uther. This means that Uther had probably just begun his "War on Magic" as Balinor probably wouldn't have gone to Camelot had mass magic-user executions already taken place. THEREFORE we can assume it was relatively shortly after Arthur's birth/Igraine's death. Since Balnior's flight and arrival in Ealdor took place after the fact, we know that Merlin is at the very least ~1yr younger than Arthur, and that is being very conservative. Given events transpiring and other factors, its probably more on the order of 2-3 years. I know that Merlin being younger is already sort of "canon", but I like to nail these little details down. My brain is strange.
