AN: I'm very tentative about the times, so on, but...
January 19, 1825
7:15
Woke up. Washed, dressed, etc.
7:46
Am eating breakfast while recalling that I, unfortunately, have Professor Evil today. Cannot recall his real name.
7:47
Am slightly perturbed by this fact.
7:49
But it will not do to dwell on such things.
7:51
Am dwelling on it.
7:55
Wonder what will happen if I inform Monsieur Inspector with the heavy sideburns that Professor Evil is an escaped galley slave.
7:56
But then he might recognize me as the one that pasted his shoes to the ground last year. And I would hardly enjoy that.
7:57
But it was rather funny.
8:15
Must leave for class or risk Professor Evil's wrath. Class starts at 8:30; I have plenty of time.
8:23
Ooh, who's the pretty blonde?
8:41
Am suffering Professor Evil's wrath. At least I actually completed last night's assignment. Idiotic useless composition.
8:42
Seem to have misplaced said essay.
8:43
DAMN YOU, BAHOREL!
9:30
Professor Evil's nose is very ugly. Must draw a caricature. If I am discreet, it will simply look as if I am taking notes.
9:35
Oh, shit.
9:43
Have been forcibly removed from class. Next class is not until after lunch. Thus, I am free to drift towards the Musain.
9:56
Must remember that I have a date this afternoon with... Um... Fleur? Nicolette? Marie-Suzette? One of the above. Today at 3:30.
10:07
Sometimes I wonder if Grantaire ever goes to class.
10:09
You know, he has a wonderful tolerance to alcohol.
10:13
I wonder if he'd give me a few lessons.
10:47 or something
Cannot seem to see straight.
1:19
I have just been woken by a somewhat irate Enjolras. He demands that I not receive any more 'lessons' from R.
1:23
Have just returned from depositing my breakfast in the gutter. Bahorel says that it serves me right.
Must concur.
1:30
Have replenished stomach.
1:37
Enjolras is giving a speech.
2:43
Just woke up.
2:49
Bossuet kindly reminds me that I have class this hour.
Screw it.
3:14
Have departed for date with... um... Have departed for date.
3:17
Recall, suddenly, that said date is to meet me in the front room of Musain.
3:18
Am turning around.
3:19
Catch reflection in store window.
3:20
Is that a gray hair?!?
3:24
Have removed offending hair.
3:25
I am turning into Bossuet. There's more of them!
3:42
Have removed all offending hairs.
3:43
...I seem to have created a bald spot.
3:47
Joly walks by and reminds me that this particular window is tinted and therefore distorts light, and by extension, color.
3:48
DAMN IT.
3:49
Borrowed Joly's hat and now venture, again, to meet date.
3:52
Arrive at Musain.
3:57
It appears that I have been stood up.
4:02
Combeferre and I have the same class in the 2:00 hour. Must visit him to discover what I missed.
4:13
Have been heavily berated by Combeferre. It seems that education is important to him.
4:14
Protest ardently. Point out that Enjolras had been giving a speech.
4:15
Combeferre apologizes. Says that he sympathizes.
4:16
And now points out that I should listen to our leader and that, had I not been drawing... Unintentionally unflattering portraits of our professors, I most likely would not have had to listen to said speech in the first place.
4:32
After much effort on my part, Combeferre coughs up the assignments.
4:34
Combeferre points out that I have 5:00 class with Enjolras who, if I miss said class again, will be unsympathetic to my plight and will not turn over assignments.
4:45
Arrive at university.
5:17
Why do I even bother coming to this confounded class?
6:45
Managed to relieve my agony by sleeping. Was fortunate enough to wake in time to copy assignment.
7:14
Dinner at Musain. Realize that my handwriting is illegible and cannot discern my assignment.
7:15
Ask to borrow Enjolras' notebook. Receive glare especially tailored for R but do not mind because he relinquishes notebook upon seeing my scribbles.
7:19
Combeferre is shooting me a suspicious look. Sometimes the pair of them infuriate me.
7:21
But that's okay because it's evident that I do the same to them.
7:32
Enjolras calls meeting to order.
7:35
Meeting commences. (Grantaire calls said meeting to disorder.)
8:43
Enjolras calls meeting to order and delivers a speech.
8:47
Speech was relatively short; am still awake.
8:48
Must wonder what exactly Enjolras means by "cut the fat ones down to size." There I was thinking that he was vegetarian.
8:49
Muse that if Enjolras' speeches were shorter that they would actually be borderline interesting.
8:52
Take back previous comment.
8:54
Share above musings with Combeferre. He seems less than amused. I wonder sometimes how he stays awake. Perhaps he props his eyes open with toothpicks. Should investigate.
8:55
Though that would involve staying awake during the speeches in question.
8:56
Combeferre says that the speeches are rather impassioned on occasion, and that I should listen, regardless, because he says some important things.
8:59
Combeferre assures me that he will wake me the next time that Enjolras says something interesting/important/impassioned.
9:26
Discuss mistresses with Joly. Assure Joly that he will not contract disease from her if he exercises abstinence. He looks rather put out but agrees.
He can be so gullible.
I love my life.
9:32
It seems that Joly is repeating what I said to Bossuet and Bahorel. Bahorel winks in my direction. Bossuet gives me an interesting look and advances to my corner.
9:32
Damn, I had no idea that Bossuet could hit that hard.
9:34
Enjolras tells Bossuet that he is no longer a child and that though he has no doubt that he means it well, violence is not the answer. Grantaire, Combeferre and Prouvaire seem to find this amusing.
9:35
Enjolras launches into a speech regarding the above. Feuilly curls up for a nap.
9:36
Combeferre cuts Enjolras off and sums up what he had been about to say in a few words (as opposed to a few thousand words). Feuilly looks rather disappointed. He relieves said disappointment by launching into lengthy diatribe about the sewers of Poland. Who cares about sewers, anyways?
9:42
Joly sends me a hurt look. I give him the innocent puppy eyes.
9:44
Notice that Grantaire no longer seems to be with us. That is my cue to leave.
9:58
Reach home; ready myself for bed. Plan to complete essay tomorrow at lunch.
10:03
Seem to have misplaced assignment...
10:04
Waaaiiittt...
10:17
DAMN YOU, BAHOREL.
