Day 4, still Not King. But having a good and motivating time, even in the Grip of the Green Goo Grippe.
Ok, the cold isn't that bad. The sessions are all of interesting, intimidating, and boring; the subject matter is interesting (and some of the speakers--Richard Barbour speaking on The Order of the Garter; a session on Dwarfs and Giants in Mallory; the period descriptions of troop movements); intimidating in that the assumed backround education level is MS (basically) so if you don't know the source material, don't whine; and boring in that most of these people read straight from their papers, some without looking up--no interaction, no visual aid.
I'm sure I don't want to be a college professor. But I'm rooming with Dave O, a high school teacher, and he's a cool guy. Mimic that I am I want to be more like him. Hmm. MA in education required to play, basically, but hey, that's not that hard...
decisions, decisions. Like, what route to take home?
...and whether my friends need to be introduced to a cross country cold...
