Sally Anne's right, most of this week was just review and sorting out people's 'strengths' when what they were really doing was finding out what you're weak on and then pounding you with drills on it.
And then there was this epic whatchamacallit test--oh, yeah, an inventory of tactical and defensive manoeuvres--I had to go get the parchment they filled out for us. It was a big course thinger where you had to hex a bunch of targets first, and then moving targets, and then moving targets while the floor shifted under you so you'd fall down and then targets that weren't just targets, but they threw hexes at you.
And then you had to run into this maze and sometimes you were crawling under stuff or climbing over it or running round corners and anything could be there waiting for you--like more hexing targs or even live MLE blokes waiting to throw dire stuff at you. And they told us you'd get more points if you didn't always just use the same hexes and parries. And they timed it, too.
And then later we had another test on brooms, which I thought was loads better, but for some people it was just hilariously terrible, I guess. Li looked like she was ready to vom when she got done.
So, yeah. They sent us home with a mountain of stuff to read. Plus we have to be massively better at all that tactical stuff before we come back in August.
