Musical adventures in a far, away land

I have finally been able to write in my journal, the first entry for several days. I have spent the last several days in the far off land of Pari, half a world away from the school. The travel itself was arduous, and time itself seemed to warp. I entered in a music competition for solo lute, but unfortunately the judges did not care for my interpretations, and I did not advance the past the 1st round. Despite this setback, I was able to take advantage of the opportunity to explore a new city. My explorations entailed several hours of walking around various parts of the city, most notably a large metal spire piercing the sky. I ascended to the summit of this spire, and could see in all directions as far as the eye could see. A truly breathtaking experience, to say nothing of exhausting. Also on the plus sude, they do not have fizzling ales here, and alas I was forced to drink several glasses of water during my journey. I now am preparing for the return trip to the school, to begin boss battles and fitness training with a renewed vigor. Looking forward to seeing all the new members of the health school, maybe to do a boss battle in the coming week

Equipment for training

Had a good walk a few days ago and met one of the other new students here, Biirna. She is very kind and I enjoyed getting to know her as we explored the grounds of the school. After 20 minutes or so we went our seperate ways, but I told her I'd like to walk with her again.

An armory festival passed by the school, I decided to walk over and browse their selection, which took about 30 minutes. I'm always torn between the temptation to "upgrade" my equipment and weaponry, and the feeling that my current weaponry and armor have served me well thus far. "If it doth not break, doth not fix it" so to speak.

Looking forward to meeting more students as the weekend comes to a close, having a glass of water before I head off to practice some music :)
