Masters Degree homework with some jack Daniels.

by **Lady Corrine Marsten** Fri May 08, 2015 1:07 am

Hmmm, if I was a sensible person, I'd say do the essays. But I'm the person who sits on this forum, clicking refresh over and over while watching Netflix.

I only have an ordinary MA for a reason. Laughing

Whats your degree in?

by **Dyana Marsten** Fri May 08, 2015 1:09 am

Well, to be fair, I am doing them. I'm just not doing them as fast as I could.

Wish there was some more RP to do... just waiting on Fendrel on one thread, and there's another with Daveth but he won't respond before tomorrow, so...

Nice. I've just recently finished up for the semester, so tonight it's pizza and beer with random stuff on hulu while I do laundry and pack for my (short) summer break.

Bachelors in Business Development
Masters in Business Logistics

Ahh, I understand fully.

If you have late afternoon free and want to come to the feast, I'd be happy to rp. It's ok if you don't though or aren't interested. It's the only slot I have free on day 3 that isn't night time. Corrine will likely have trouble sleeping though, so I'd not be totally averse to interacting in the Mid-Night or Late Night slot, but I think I'd have penalties to rolls on day 4.

How pragmatic!

I left my (second) successful career to study Philosophy. An MA for now, and in a year, a PhD program, I hope.

by Athelstan Fri May 08, 2015 1:24 am

Well I started with the BA in Business Dev., worked as business/political consultant, military, now medically retired and doing my masters. It is a very fun life, until I take like 7 pill and feel like a truck just hit me and eventually pass out.

by Dunstan Tullison Fri May 08, 2015 1:24 am

Oh a colleague (sort of)- I study Sociology.

Edit: was talking to Baelon:)

by Athelstan Fri May 08, 2015 1:27 am

Sociology sounds like some kind of psychology derivation. What does it actually do?

Ouch.

It's not that bad, but half my medicines have the drowsiness side effect lol

It's the study of the development and structure of human society. I've studied it myself, and it does have a high degree of intersectionality with psychology, but it's very much its own thing.

My anti-panic meds are like that. At least I only have to take them if I feel a meltdown coming on.

I have a friend like that - ex-military, trying to get a degree in criminal justice, but his injuries and medications make it tough.

Nifty. I'm more on the mind/language/psychology and metaphysical end of things than the political/social/ethics part of philosophy, so a bit different.
One of the neat things about philosophy thought is that if you can think about it there is a philosophy of it. It's a dilettante's dreamland.

by **Dyana Marsten** Fri May 08, 2015 1:39 am

What is going to happen once we get to day 4? I mean, there's a schedule, but what are you guys eagerly waiting for?

Corrine: LA is taken, unfortunately. I'm not against doing something in the midst of night - we could say they woke up to do whatever, met, then slept again ASAP.

No idea what that'd be, though.

by **Lady Corrine Marsten** Fri May 08, 2015 1:42 am

Yeah, hmm, she wouldn't be doing much of anything, just being restless, getting up and wandering because she's too worried to sleep. She'd not be enacting any plans really.

Reader has us wrap up the majority of one day's events before moving on to the next day, just for neatness' sake, as it's already tricky at times, having a whole day go off simultaneously.

1) The trial by combat between Athelstan and Baelon
2) Negotiations with various parties, hoping to get a chunk of business wrapped up.
3) FIrst day of Jousting!

Side note, just got my grades for the semester, perfect 4.0! I didn't think it was possible!

by **Lady Corrine Marsten** Fri May 08, 2015 1:44 am

Well done!

by Athelstan Fri May 08, 2015 1:48 am

Congrats on the grades

I hope we are both capable to do Jousting when we are done fighting.

Whats your armor anyway so I can start crying.

by **Dyana Marsten** Fri May 08, 2015 2:17 am

Congrats!

And we better wrap up our RPs and go sleep, I think. 8 hours is a lot of hours.

by **Lady Corrine Marsten** Fri May 08, 2015 2:20 am

Yeah.

Reader said Friday or Saturday for Day 4, though as much as I want it to be Friday start, they usually give notice the day before, so may be waiting a bit longer. Boo. Sad

I'm going out ofmy mind with the waiting. Laughing

by **Dyana Marsten** Fri May 08, 2015 2:21 am

Oh I really hope it's Friday, as I will probably be able to post through the day tomorrow, but not at all on Saturday - and then fall horribly behind.

by Athelstan Fri May 08, 2015 2:22 am

That makes a couple of players that have high stakes on that day to make it work.
