Day Three--12:22; Cafeteria backroom
Okay.... Already I hate my gimpy ankle. While the bacta healed most of it, the medic says it is still too weak for daily routines and stuff. So, no running, no hiking, nothing that will cause over exertion of the joints. That didn't include KP. So, even though I am in pain, I am still stuck washing these dishes. To top that off, I had to be here at 05:30 to make sure breakfast was ready. Who on earth can operate with 4-5 hours of sleep??
And now all I do is hobble around, read books on defensive fighting techniques and a manual to build a lightsaber. The diagrams are so confusing! What's a power cell anyways? Should I have known this ahead of time? Maybe I should have taken Electronic Construction instead of Intro to Pre-Imperial Political History at school. I would have at least had something to use later in life then. Do I have to make this lightsaber thing on my own or can I pay someone? That is how I passed on my term paper in school. :P
And at the rate I am going, I'll be 50 before I advance to lightsaber construction anyways, so I really shouldn't worry about this right now. Why is this required reading then?? Maybe Master Skywalker and/or Tionne randomly grabbed books of the shelf or something.
Roanie came into the dorm for a couple of minutes before her Jedi Meditation group met. She informed me once I get to a proper stage in my Jedi training I could join. Wow... sitting around for 5 hours... fun times there. At least she was nice enough to bring in some flowers she found during the return run from the morning lecture. They added color to the drab room and it was a kind gesture. The wookiee never shows anymore except at night. I think 'it' and Raonie had a fight or something. Should I ask? Or would that be rude?
Hey... did you know this book says that Jedi don't attack--just defend... didn't Luke attack Darth Vader on the Cloud City? Or did that part of A Jedi's Path; The Luke Skywalker Story lie? It was an unauthorized biography after all... Remind me to look up the author and find out.
Anyways, I just finished lunch KP and got tired of my dorm, so I have been hanging out in the cafeteria's backroom since everyone else got out. They were hiking up to see a demo on lightsaber dueling. As intriguing as it is, they decided needed to get some exercise in as well and are holding it at the temple where morning lectures are held. Or else they just didn't want me there... Conspiracy! :o
*sigh*
Hey... Master Skywalker just walked in... why isn't he lecturing?!
