Mondays

I hate Mondays - last week it was that utterly stupid bike ride in the snow, today we had seven inches of snow out when I got up, and it was still coming down. So I ended up leaving early, even though I felt sort of guilty about skipping my last couple of classes.

Other than that, things have been moving along. I got a perfect score on the Calc 2 retest, and my History and Genetics class are shaping up to be pretty interesting. I've been playing more Resident Evil, although I think that probably deserves a whole entry to itself later when I'm not dead-tired, as do a bunch of other things.

I also finally realized the other day what it is about Braska that always throws me off when I try to write him - he has, in a word, religion. Post-game, when I play him, he's been disillusioned by Yunalesca as to the true nature of Yevon himself (Itself? I'm not sure), but he still believes in ideals, in the precepts of the church. And none of my other characters, or myself, have that degree of faith. Hopefully that revelation will make it easier to write him.
