So, definitely don't recommend killing one's immune system. :p At least it's a kind of sick that leaves me able to function, I suppose. :p Small favours and all that. :p

Yesterday's big discovery: INvigilating midterms is a good way to get fic written. I had to invigilate the intro midterms, which mostly just means sitting in the room and handing out scrap paper. For the first hour or so I practiced kanji for Friday's quiz, but there's only so long that can go on. :p So for the next two hours, I worked on my Zoe/Wash ficathon fic. I took it from only having one scene to being about 3/4 done. Early Zoe/Wash is so much fun to write, incidently.

Yay fic! Also, I learned a new word. I have never before heard or seen "invigilate" though I did a great deal of it in grad school. Thank you!

Fic is fun. Especially when it's doing what I WANT it to. :p

Hmm, you're the second person who didn't know the word. I'm starting to wonder if it might be a Canadianism or something. :p

Maybe a New Brunsiwckism because I don't recognize it either. Still, a word I don't know... *adopts it, loves it, cuddles it, and calls it George*

Strange. Very strange. :p

I'm sure it isn't a Yubsieism :p

Surely not :p

No, because it's definitely the term my high school and university use. :p

Sure it is :p

You don't believe me?

to put it nicely ...

Not especially :p

On the other hand, you've defended 'ickle' before :p

If I were going to make up words, it would be for something sillier than invigilating. :p

I still don't even know what invigilating IS :p

I mean, let's see - sitting up all night inside of something rather than outside of something? like if you could do a PS3 release vigil, except INSIDE Curry's? :p

It's supervising an exam. :p

Well THAT doesn't make any bloody sense :p

You have to be vigilant to make sure no one cheats. :p

Don't know. When I did it, it was calling "proctoring." I once spent a memorable four hours doing my take-home Comparitive Linguistics final while proctoring an undergraduate history final.

I've heard that other schools call it proctoring. :p

If you're stuck there for ages, might as well do work. :p

woo! New word for me!

maybe i should get a word a day calendar and try to use it in a daily post or somethin...sounds kinda fun ^_^

Okay, you went to Mount A. How do YOU not know this word?

I was a commerce student? :P

You still had exams!

I dont remember that word anywhere. :P
