[the entry is roughly written, frustration seething from the pages, then gone back over and crossed out in big swirly scribbles]
I'M SO DAMNED BORED HERE I'M SO SICK OF BEING HERE ALL I EVER DO IS SALUTE THE DAMNED RIDERS AND DO THEIR STUPID CHORES I WISH THE EGGS WOULD HATCH RIGHT NOW OR THEY'D JUST LET ME GO HOME BECAUSE THIS IS ALL SO SHARDING STUPID WHY DID I SAY YES????
I wonder if I could get sent home for saying that.

It's been a while since I wrote in this thing. Chores continue, as always. The babies are getting so big, Nexia's hard to hold onto since she figured out how to between. I guess I should be training her, but I just don't have time.
On the exciting part of the news, I actually -- finally -- got to go out onto the sands and touch some of the eggs! It was really, really neat. I like the one with red on it, and black that you can't see from the Stands. They're really hard, too, which I guess means they're going to hatch soon? I hope so, I'm really getting sick of these chores. If it weren't for the chance to Impress a dragon, I'd have been back at the Hall a loooooooooooong time ago.
I miss Laulerren. :( I miss her alot. I guess she's still trying to get pregnant. Yay for her, I guess. I won't be able to see the baby if/when it's born if I Impress, because Weyrlinghood probably takes just as forever as Candidacy.

12:46 pm - OOC: robe desc.
|
For my own personal storage-ness.
No weaver wove this white-washed cloth; inexperience hands have attempted to form a loose-fitting robe, stitching together with thick, slightly yellowed thread several large pieces of fabric. The terry-cloth has been hacked into somewhat square sections: two extra-large ones in the front and back which hang awkwardly down to the Herder-Candidate's knees, and four smaller ones which make up each half of each sleeve, though the seams are puckered and double-stitched to make up for a mismeasurement of material. Nobody said his robe had to look /good/, right?

I got another firelizard! A GOLD! :D :D :D [exaggerated happy-faces follow and line the margins]
It's so funny, just the other day I met someone named Isabeau, and she helped me bathe Niyul and Nyaia and Nenias and Neevy, and she was telling me that if you hang around long enough at Ista, you're bound to Impress more firelizards, and sure enough, I found a clutch on one of the beaches (it's certainly hot enough for them), and took the biggest egg there (and gave the rest to some of the other candidates and weyrfolk) for myself and it hatched today and it hatched a gold!!! I named her Nexia, she's so pretty.
I guess something good can come out of this Candidacy at Ista thing. The other day, Master Aimee sent me back to the Keroon Hall to see if there were going to be any runners in the Weyr tithe this coming time, and even though it was crazybusy (some journeyman from the istan hall was running the apprentices around with cleaning tools) it was soooooo nice to be back at home. I didn't want to leave. But I had to. :/
I'd forgotten how hungry little babies are. I mean, Niyul is 3 months, but he's big enough to catch his own food (usually out of my plate) now. Nexia just creels and eats and does some crazy wobbly flying and eats some more. Little flit.
current mood: excited

Bored bored borrrrreeddddddd... [the dots dissolve into random scribbling]
This boring. I hate waiting for things. Why can't I go be a Herder, and they come get me when the eggs start to rock?
I got to do riding lessons the other day. It was great to be back on a runner again.
Bleh. I'm so bored here. Nothing ever happens. Salute this, peel that, yes ma'am, I'd love to wash your dragon for you. NOT.
I mean, some of the Candidates are cool. Tesconnar's a little .. nervy, I guess. A twitchy girl. Lanti and Laeri are just stupidly brave and defiant, but I like them, as long as they don't get me into trouble. And of course it's nice to have Sage here.
I want to go home, just until the eggs hatch. I'm not doing anything special here except be a drudge and get behind in my classes.
current mood: homesick

Still a Candidate, here. It's so hard to be a Candidate -- every day we have to wake up early, and we've got something to do basically all day. It was really hard for me to sleep at night, the first week or so -- the time difference, and just the feeling of being asleep in some place strange. It threw me off, and for a while I was sleeping during our free time, because I couldn't sleep at night and I was so exhausted from it all.
Now it's better, though. It's the last Turn of the Pass, now. It's pretty exciting -- I don't really want to do something as dangerous as fighting Thread, though I certainly won't object to doing my duty.
Only 11 .. I think? .. eggs. Not very good odds. More Candidates come in every day. I want to Impress so badly. Me! A dragonrider! Laulerren would be so proud. She's already proud of me; she wrote me and told me so.
The Hatching's still a few weeks away, though. I guess I have to be patient. I mean, it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't Impress. I'd be really sad about it, but still, I like being a Herder, too.
Speaking of Herders, another Herder from the same hall as me got Searched, too. Sage. It's nice to have a familiar face around.

Oh my goodness I have the most exciting news EVER!!
[scribbled wildly]
I'M A CANDIDATE!!!!
I got Searched! One minute I was offering to give a riding lesson, the next I was at Ista Weyr!
It's so strange here. I mean, not really, but I'm not used to being a Candidate yet.
What if I Impress a dragon? Wouldn't that be awesome? I'm so excited. I can't wait for the hatching ..
current mood: ecstatic

My sister's getting handfasted. I don't even really know the guy, except for what Laulerren's said in her letters about him. What's his name? Trober? Troulen? I think that's it. Troulen. Anyway. They're getting handfasted in a couple of months. He already has a kid, a boy, by some other girl, I guess. Now Laulerren wants to have a baby. No luck so far, she says.
Do I even want to be an uncle? I'm only 15. I guess it'd be okay, though, because I like babies.
What about me? I hardly even ever talk to any girls, unless they're Journeymen or Masters. Except for Tirania, but I only just met her, and she's a little tiny thing. I dunno -- a lot of the other guys are all about who looked best at this Gather, and who is "going out" with who (even though we're apprentices and we're not supposed to "see" anyone), and I don't really care about any of it. Maybe I'm just immature.
Anyway, Laulerren wants me to come to the handfasting. Of course I will.

I got promoted! Dalaynia came by out of no where, the other day, and said that she'd been watching me and that I've been doing really well so there's no reason why I can't be a full Apprentice! I'm so excited! Right after I finish here, I'm gonna write Laulerren and Mama and Dad!
