FML, My New Hero, and The Latest Chapter.
So today was… oodles of fun. (That was heavy sarcasm, people.) First I took my biggest, most important exam for… oh, about five hours. Five boring, excruciating hours. My god. Then I got upset with one of my friends. And cried in the car on the way home. I’m an idiot. BLARGH. *sighs*
On the other hand, OMG SATSU-BASU IS AMAZING AND I LOVE HER AND <333333333. *SQUEALS* ZOMG. GO READ HER FIC RIGHT NOW. NOW. *shoves* PERFECT. It's everything that's best about Shunsui and Ukitake, yaoi or gen. Their friendship, that bond, is what draws me (and most of you, I think) to them.
WOW. Dude, I’d read the spoilers and I knew what was going to happen. But woah. I actually liked this chapter a whole lot more than I thought I would. Barragan’s speech to Soi Fon was much more powerful full out and with illustration. Holy crap. I’d just gotten comforted by Hitsugaya’s ‘don’t underestimate us!’ and then Barragan had to come out with that. CRAP. Now I’m really worried, much more so than when I thought Hitsugaya was injured. I guess because Barragan is more intimidating now than Halibel was? There is now more to this than physical power, than someone’s arm getting cut off with a blast. This is… something we don’t understand. I don’t know how this is going to be defended against.
And then Barragan’s release. OMG. That is… not just a little bit frightening. O_O And he’s only third in power level (if you count Yammy)?!
…yeah. *clings to Shunsui-kun*
Then again, Baragan saying that old age was the most powerful aspect of death threw me a little. Hrmm. I mean I guess it kind of is, but what was he trying to say about the other Espada’s powers? Hmm. Could just be being arrogant. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it...
Other parts of the chapter:
Halibel: What do you think Halibel was planning on doing to Yamamoto? I was leaning toward the theory that she was going to do some Sacrifice thing to injure him for Aizen. But… What she said was similar to what she said to Hitsugaya.
“You’re next. I’ll make you pay for taking their lives.”
I’m now getting the impression that she thought she could take him. I mean, “you’re next”? She’s thinking of him like Hitsugaya. I think she was just going to attack him. Any thoughts?
I’m kind of fond of the face Yamamoto gave her though. It was totally a sideways 'WTF? bitch you're going to attack ME? haha, there's an alive shorty behind you!' look. Or maybe I’m just juvenile today.
Renji: RENJI IS A PIMP. XD …yeah definitely juvenile. XD
Hitsugaya: I still haven’t decided what I think of his fight. The ice mirror isn’t that lame, and he said he can only use it once, so it must be a special power of his, or something like that. Which would explain why he never used it before. Then again, I already rather suspected that this was only the beginning of his fight, and Baragan pretty much confirmed it for me. As in Shunsui’s fight, I don’t think they’ve been fighting seriously yet. I think the real fight starts now. And it still might not end well for Hitsugaya.
I have the urge to say to Hitsugaya what he just said to Halibel- don’t underestimate her either, short stuff.
The themes: still trying to get a handle on what exactly the themes mean.
SleepyFan's translation: The Espadas each embody an aspect of death. Those are the ten reasons people die. Each Espada’s powers reflect that…
SleepyFan's translation doesn't use the word 'control' like Annie's did several times, but Baragan still refers to the aspects being a part of the Espada’s powers. So... I still think Stark going to have a power relating to Loneliness. Probably screwing with people's emotions/friendships. Halibel's is probably going to be something similar to her fraccion's.
The Espadas each embody an aspect of death. Those are the ten reasons people die. Each Espada’s powers reflect that… and my aspect is ‘old age’. ‘Old age’ means time.
It is the most powerful and inevitable aspect of death. Everyone must face it sometime.
Look. With nothing more than a touch, I can age your very bones… you don’t understand. That is what death is.
And from now until this battle is over there will not be one single thing your mind can fathom.
ROT, ARROGANTE.

All my Uni ones so far have been either 2 hours or 3 hours
Most of the GCSE ones (Except graphics) were 1 hour 30 I think... A-level varied between 1 hour 30 up to 3 hours. Oh and I think business studies might have had two 2 hour papers back-to-back.

Have two of those at my high school this year, and then calculus I'm actually taking at the local college.

An AP class is a high school class that uses a college textbook, and you get college credit if you can pass this crazy 5 hour long test at the end of the year. I'm taking two of those this year, so that'll be fun.
What I'm also doing this year is joint enrollment, which is an actual college class I take at the college. It counts as two periods during the day, so I don't have a first period or a last period. I get to sleep in! All the other years I had to be at school by 7. Now I don't have to be there 'til 8ish. Mwahahaha.
