Skins and an MSc

So I made the mistake last Monday to sit down while my brother was watching Skins and I’d heard about it and knew I’d probably like it, so kept telling myself I have no time for a new show. Well one episode and I was hooked, instead of revising I ended up watching all the episodes and I love it. It is odd, and I think very much a fannish characteristic to get really easily obsessed with things, once you are in fandom and a fan of something, this enthusiasm gets transferred to everything else you like. Normal people that like Skins would probably watch it once a week and occasionally discuss it with friends. A fannish person would watch it in a day, watch all the extras/interviews/etc, join the LJ comms dedicated to it and probably read a fic or two. Oh dear, I don’t have time for this.

Do any of you watch it?? What do you think?

In other shiny news, I got an offer from my second choice at the LSE, which is an MSc in Theory of International Relations and which I would love to do, the actual difference with the IR course is very minimal, and it comes down to a compulsory theory paper, all other options are the same. And I only need a 2:1! (though had a nightmare the other day that I got a 2:2) Now I need to work during the summer as the LSE is crazy expensive.
