Book 1, Part 6

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Pan and I have been looking around the areas around the dome. My schoolwork is a lot easier than I thought, and I can't pick the classes like I could when I was at Jordan; so a lot of the things that they're teaching me are too easy. I wish they'd go into something more difficult, all of the sex studies and the normal studies they're teaching me I've learned before. Don't any of the college students get bored here? Maybe we should start our own college, it'd be better than the one I go to right now, anyway. Ken, Naminé, do you get bored too? I reckon we can find something more interesting to study.

The west side of the dome was pretty interesting, so I think I may go back there tonight for another look around. Dean, I'm going to bring your mini-anbaric light, okay? Thanks.

The school system here does leave a lot to be desired. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

When I was at Jordan, there were a lot of things that I could study; and even more Scholars who knew about them, and had studied them before I did. Here, no one seems to know much of anything. It's annoying. Not even the books are good.

Most of the teachers at Welton didn't know what they were talking about either, so I can't say I'm not used to it.

You could just stop going.

I've thought about it; but I want to know as much about this world as I can if I'm gonna be living here.

[notwalking]

Good point. I've figured it's better to learn through experience than sitting in a room, listening to the old folks drone on.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I think it's always good to listen sometimes. But I'd take the experience over that.

[notwalking]

I listen to the folks who deserve it. We'll put it that way.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

You've found someone like that here?

[notwalking]

Of course.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Why don't you come exploring with me?

[notwalking]

I'd like that, Lyra.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Pan and I will come by.

[notwalking]

Don't mind the face. Or the hand. Still healing up.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, there was a time when Iorek Byrnison knocked the jaw of the Bear King clean off. It doesn't bother me.

[notwalking]

In that case, I look forward to our adventure.

It does get a little boring. I haven't studied all of it before, but I think I catch on faster than some of the others in my class, I guess.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

We could get together and study things that are better than what they teach us in college.

[forliving.livejournal.com]

I think I'd like that.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Maybe Naminé will come too.

[ofoblivion.livejournal.com]

Why would you want more school?

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

Because they don't teach you anything of value here. The Scholars at Jordan College were much more well-versed.

[ofoblivion.livejournal.com]

All school's stupid.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

That's a convincing argument.

[ofoblivion.livejournal.com]

Who cares?

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

I thought you would, you're the one making it.

[memorially.livejournal.com]

A little, sometimes.

[truthmeasurer.livejournal.com]

We should all study together. Me, you and Ken.

[memorially.livejournal.com]

That sounds like it would be fun!

[spentmytime.livejournal.com]

Have fun, kiddo. Try not to get into too much trouble.

I'll see you in the morning. Are you going to make breakfast? I want some eggs.
