MOOD: battle-worn :-!
MUSIC: Somewhere over the Rainbow (Israel Kamikawiwo'oli, Finding Forrester OST)

it is the second hour: a horde of final exams writhes and teems on the black horizon of night. At my command is a legion of knowledge, sharpened by the trials of this age. We engage on the field of battle, at the eighth hour.

"And so, like a thousand other generals, on a thousand other battlefields, i wait for the dawn."

it is the tenth hour: the frozen rain cleanses from me the carnage of the battle this morning. the legion of knowledge at my command has stood up to the seething horde. today, i still need only to bring down the forces of my major c.s., a former comrade-at-arms, turned arnold at the first test. We engage at two.
