Which Discworld Character are you like created with QuizFarm.com | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| You scored as Carrot Ironfounderson You are Captain Carrot Ironfounderson of the City Watch in the greatest city on the Disc – Ankh-Morprok! A truly good natured, honest guy, who knows everyone, and is liked by all. Technically a dwarf, but only by adoption. You’d rather not be reminded that you are the true heir to the throne, but that does explain why people naturally follow your orders…

Foppish Victorian Outfits
May. 2nd, 2008 12:08 pmMonday is the Myld Hunt, a HRSFA tradition in which we dress up in foppish Victorian clothing and "hunt" a "fox," defeat it in a battle of great cunning, and eat the transubstantiated fox, which now seems to be a feast of normal food.1
The Myld Hunt starts at 1.
My German qualifying exam starts at 2. We are given an hour, which should be fine especially since I'm taking it on the computer so I can easily type definitions of words and then copy and paste everything to put it in English word order. Technically, I get time and a half, but I'm probably not going to use it, since I feel like I don't actually need or deserve it and it would give me an unfair advantage. In most exams I finish early, if anything. I took time and a half for the Machinist exam of doom, but that's because it was particularly doomful.
Anyways, the hunt will probably still be socializing until 6PM. Maybe not that late, but definitely up through 3/3:30PM
So my options:
1) Skip the beginning of the Myld Hunt, (perhaps even study German!) and come after the German exam. Change at the party.
1a)Skip the beginning of the Myld Hunt, (perhaps even study German!) and come after the German exam having changed in Div Hall.
2) Go to the beginning of the hunt in normal clothes, and leave at the necessary time for the exam, go back after the exam, change at the party.
2a) Go to the beginning of the hunt in normal clothes, and leave at the necessary time for the exam, go back after the exam having changed in Div Hall.
3)Go to the beginning of the hunt in foppish Victorian outfit (which is not Victorian, but rather my Chinese dress of awesome, which I will incidentally be wearing the day before...) and take the exam in said outfit, and then go back to the party.
I'm thinking 2 sounds most reasonable, but 3 is looking rather shiny. Thoughts?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm still writing the paper. I am also sick. Tea is nice, though.
I realize that I've been overly ambitious. This is evidenced by the fact that I have a preamble. A preamble! It's nearly a double spaced page by itself.
( Preamble, as it currently stands )
1No actual foxes are hurt in the running of this hunt.

A natural 20 in finishing papers
May. 2nd, 2008 05:11 pmMy paper is finished. If you want to read it, comment here or e-mail me. I would just post it under a cut, however, it is 15 page paper, and also, the members of the Saturday Party cannot read my paper until the campaign is over, since it contains information about our characters which is not known to the general public. Also, if you read my paper, don't go giving it to the Saturday party.
