Game was fun. Very fun. I forgot just how much I missed real role-playing. And the makeshift-ness of costume did not hamper getting into character as I feared it would. I love Layla. She's getting increasingly bad-ass, too.
I missed out on the main Sabbat plot, which was too bad, but I spent over an hour doing nothing but soft roleplaying with my packmate, which was really cool. I really like Josh's (the player) style. His character, Ronnie, isn't stupid, but he's very...impulsive, low wisdom sort, and Josh plays it so well. He's very devoted to doing what his character would do, even if he OOC thinks it'll screw his character over. And I respect that a lot. I felt bad for our overworked ST crew, whom we kept harrassing to run the scene for us; I'm pretty happy with current ST crew. They're very devoted to keeping the game balanced and making sure characters are well-developed. And Josh keeps making his own plots, some of which are horribly bizarre, and the STs are really working with him, which I like to see.
It was also nice to be back in Oberlin. Well, odd. I felt like someone took all of the people I know and replaced them with little kids parading as frosh, but whatever. What was really nice was seeing all of the people I knew at Oberlin and feeling like I had friends again. And, like, people who were excited to see me :) Justin and Anya gave us a ride, and it was nice to see them. Nice to see someone else that I knew in Oberlin and came here to go to grad school and talk about what that's like.
I won the election for CBSR (our student government), which is good as I can't imagine what my life will be like without student government and I can only handle so many changes at once.
My SAQs (Self-assessment multiple choice question. These questions are never seen by anyone except me. These plus the anonymously marked essay CAPPS (concept appraisal) essay questions replace exams) were...okay. I technically got below the 80% mark, which means that I *should* go talk to Dr. Stewart, but I was only below 80 by one question, and they were our first set, so I think I'm not going to. It's a self-directed program and I kind of feel like I have the right to make that decision. Also, I scored 100% in molec, cell and pharmacology, nearly 90 in physiology and ... 35% in anatomy. So I think I know what I need to work on. I.E. being able to concentrate on something besides throwing up in Anatomy class. *sigh* It's just...sticking my hands into a corpse's thoracic cavity and having them come back out dripping blood is a little too much for me (our cadavers aren't embalmed.)
