October, week 1
- The first two days of the new job were very interesting, which is promising. My coworkers are nice too.
Four days of office work in a row is more than I've done in months and it was tiring. Next week it'll be five, and also classes start so it'll be even worse! But I can do this. I'll have to go to bed earlier (at the new job I start at 8am) and become more efficient with the free time I do have, which is a good idea anyway.
- We sang in the mass today, it was nice, and then our choir leader told me that I should sing first soprano from now on. !!! Singing soprano did get easier every week, and I enjoy it, but I feel like I'm still adjusting. It's good to know that he thinks I can do it though, and I look forward to trying.
- We finally have proper fall weather. We had 25° on October 1st, which is just perverse. And now not even a week later I'm tempted to turn on the heating in my room.
- Yuletide nominations are open: I'm nominating "The Inheritance Trilogy" and "Echoes of the Fall", but I'm still undecided on the third one.
- Our D&D party adopted! 19 rats and a kid. The rats were the idea of our runecaster, they're intelligent and are supposed to help her with spacesuit development. …she already killed one of them because she was worried it would turn against her. Yeah, this will go poorly.
And the kid is a 13-year-old streetchild with a few ranks in trap finding, and half of our party immediately decided that hey, we need a rogue anyway. MC thinks taking her on our next quest is way too dangerous – but she couldn't stay where she was, and finding somewhere else to take her on short notice is not that easy, and she does want to stay with us, so it looks like we'll actually take a 13-year-old level 1 rogue on a quest with us. *facepalm* MC agreed to train her, and we found a scouting school where she can train until we have to leave on the quest. I find it highly likely she'll be more a burden than a help, so hopefully we'll find an alternative.
