November 21st, Year 1, Institute of War, Champion dorms
Today was the first day of snow for the year, not the first time I've seen snow, but it always amazes me to see something so light and fragile, yet paint the most beautiful landscapes.
The arrival of snow means that arrival of ice, which means people start slipping all over the place. It's always funny, sometimes, to see people flail their arms to try to stable themselves. Of course, there are always snowball fights. Even if most of the staff at the Institute are adults, they still act like they were children and throw snow at each other. I find it distasteful, but people seem to enjoy this kind of activity.
I saw a summoner who seemed in a hurry, as she ran across the Institute outside. Then, she slipped. I wanted to laugh super loud, because she was running so fast, she basically flew into the air when she slipped. I wish I could describe it better, but I was laughing too hard.
It wasn't just me, people were having a laugh all over the place. I didn't think too much at first, but I never actually thought about the people who fell down. Now that I reflect back, it seems like it wasn't the best thing to do.
It was a very relaxing day, I wasn't summoned for any games. I did however get to talk with several champions who were contemplating on how to jungle effectively. It seems that most champions would kill either the two golems, then do their red buff, or they would kill Gromp, then proceed to do blue buff. It seems the easiest way to reach level 2.
I payed close attention to all these details, since I knew that it wouldn't be long until I was summoned to jungle, since not many seem to let me mid. I listened to the stories, many seem to think that the crabs wandering in the rivers are pretty useless since it takes too long to kill them. However, when they die, they do spawn a ward that is very useful for dragon control.
The summoner spell has also been changed, it now depends on items. This was a very big change for me, since I was always used to having smite do one thing. It appears that smite can now be used on champions. I was already starting to think what items I should build.
This gave me a thought. I wanted to get some practice. I always wanted a sparing partner, and I thought it was time to start looking for one. I thought of all the champions that may want to practice with me, but the only one who came up was Azir.
Azir was really the only champion I felt comfortable talking to, but its been a while since we even saw each other. I felt kind of awkward to approach him, especially after my behavior that game, which seemed like ages ago. I don't know, its hard to describe this feeling. I don't want to see him because I feel like he will just ignore me, but I do want to talk to him.
I don't know what I'm writing at this point. Too many jumbled events, even though today was relaxing. I don't really know what I'm thinking, maybe I'm just tired from that whole week of training and adaptation to the new Field of Justice.
