Day 3 16:57; Far Off Distant Jedi Temple
Well, that was the most unfair thing EVER!
Okay, apparently, there was no lecture after lunch today and I missed out on one-on-one training on levitation with Master Skywalker while Tionne took everyone else on a nature trail and discuss nature's balance or something like that. Well, I am sorry. No one felt like telling ME about this little schedule change. Oh god no! Tell the new girl ANYTHING? Of course not! We like her being in the dark on everything. Just as long as she serves our food. "Oil Girl! Fetch me some more hot chocolate!" Really! But yeah, everyone was waiting for me to show up, and even hung out while Master Skywalker chewed me out for not being prompt. hello? Maybe if someone told me what was going on, I would be there! Maybe if I wasn't cooking for all these bloody students I could hear the latest gossip. ARG!
"A Jedi feels no emotion. Just serenity"... Calm down Avie, it'll be okay...
So now, not only I am stuck sweeping out the dorms while everyone else is on their afternoon break, FOR A WHOLE FREAKING WEEK! I have to apologize to the class for my thoughtless actions. Whoo hoo. Everyone gawk at "Jedi Loser." And now I have gone from being Princess of Ralltiir to waitress/house keeper. My parents will so not approve. And I am now having to have my levitation lessons right after lunch KP, so there goes that goof off time.

And people like doing this?? And I like my schedule better when all I did was attend an occasional lecture. I am still very bitter about being assigned KP. There goes break time every day just to feed these inconsiderate... 'commoners'! And I have private lessons with 'The Master" himself. Whoo hoo. Apparently they way Raonie described it, its like I am dating the guy, not being taught by him. Sure, he's good looking for his age, but come on. he is like old! But she still was like, "You are SO lucky! When I learned my basic techniques and stuff, I had 3 other students with me. But since you came all by yourself, you get him to yourself! I am jealous!!!!" Okay, this kid needs some help...
But in reality, the class was pretty cool. Master Skywalker built a fire and asked me to push the flames with the Force. Believe me, it takes a lot more concentration then you think to accomplish that. And it didn't help that I was tense and frustrated from the episode earlier today. But Master Skywalker was kinda patient with me too, which helped. Especially since it took me an hour before I made any real progress. And I was rather proud of myself. (Hey... can Jedi be proud of themselves? remind me to check that out. I am sure there is a book on it somewhere.) I can't wait until I am good enough to weave the flames into plaits!
Now I am writing in the solitude of a distant Jedi Temple. Its kinda pretty and quiet. I need to remember this place. :) And I took just enough of the afternoon break to record this. Now I have sweeping to do, and some more reading on fighting techniques before "Personal Study Time" ends.
Oh and I forgot: 30 days until I am Homeward Bound on a break. :D
