So we have a summer campaign, which has been running for 3 weeks now. There are 4 players and one DM. dsKC is DMing (I've mentioned this before) because he is made of awesome. Also in the campaign are JTB (adding a middle initial so as not to confuse him with either JB of swing and salsa dancingness or JB from Penn who gabbais CJC) JM (who is a different JM than JM who is in HRSFA and was in my last campaign. Actually, that JM can be JTM now. Why does everyone have to have the same initials?!?!) and N. N was a relatively late addition, in that I was visiting him during swing dancing the Wednesday before the campaign started, when I asked if he was interested in joining the campaign, seeing as we hadn't started yet, we only had d3 players, and there was still plenty of time for him to come up with a character. He was very excited by this, and joined our little campaign.

( D&D! )

The session went for almost 8 hours, and afterwards JM, N, dsKC and I went to see the Batman movie, which JTB had already seen but highly recommended. We all enjoyed it.

We might not be having a D&D session next week if the Greek midterm of doom destroys dsKC and I. I messed up a few things on the quiz on Friday, despite the crazy amount of studying I did. Though I do better on midterms because they also have translations in addition to the paradigm memorization, and I can get translations right or mostly right.

And I'm meeting with the professor tomorrow, so hopefully that will help.

Monday 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.
