Sep. 8th, 2009 10:08 pmHad all my classes today (I know, my head will explode), so I can safely say that things seem good. However, my Japanese vocabulary has dwindled to near-nonexistent and needs serious help. On the plus side, it's not like I have anything to do tomorrow other than homework!
So, I have Japanese first (study study vocab kanji help), then Latin (where did all these people I've never seen before come from?), then French (wheee Chretien de Troyes!), then Greek (heheh Medea heheh). A good assortment, I feel, as I'll alternate English-speaking and not. Plus, good teachers all round, I think. Not sure about Japanese yet, as I've never had her before, but otherwise win. So that's a bonus.
Also, finally finished up my character sheet for the Judea game. After thinking about it, I realize that I may have created a variation of True Neutral I've never seen or heard of before. See, she's a druid priestess...of Cybele, goddess of caverns, nature, fortresses, earth, and some of the wildest parties in the ancient world (and that's saying something). And she's a lot of what you'd expect of a priestess whose initiation involved a bull's-blood shower. But also a fair amount of what you'd expect of a provincial woman who's very aware of the benefits of the Roman system.
The thing is, most True Neutral goes in hardcore for the Buddhist thing--moderation good, excess bad. Either that or just apathy. Whereas this character's philosophy is rather Ecclesiastes, when I think about it--"A time for living, and a time for dying; a time for going to the public baths to relax before visiting the library to study the serious tome, and a time for drunken revelry and possibly orgies; a time for laughing, and a time for opening up a can of whoop-ass in a fashion most violent." She refers to it as "the drought and the flood" aspect of nature. And
