  1. I always plan on staying up until 8:00PM but end up going to sleep around 10:00PM. I have to wake up at 4:00AM every day for work before a full day of classes so I need to sleep early.
  2. Replica 16th century scholars cap. It was the most popular hat during the reign of the house Tudor in England. Now nobody can say that I do not look like a scholar from 16th century England! I am going to wear this every day next semester, I am pretty sure it grants me +1 Int. Pic: http://www.nicoleensedena.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Thomas-Cranmer.jpg
  3. I would have to agree completely. Applejack, particularly with her honesty, is a pony I admire although she is not necessarily my favourite (close close second)
  4. "...διότι δὲ πολιτικὸν ὁ πῶλος ζῷον πάσης μελίττης καὶ παντὸς ἀγελαίου ζῴου μᾶλλον, δῆλον. οὐθὲν γάρ, ὡς φαμέν, μάτην ἡ φύσις ποιεῖ: λόγον...." Schola thinks to himself before he looks up and sees, to his shock, everypony is gone! "Would that I paid more attention to my surroundings, perhaps I would actually have friends!" He says as he begins to leave and wander home alone, head hung low. "This is probably why the Dean of Equus meant when he denied me acceptance into the graduate program. 'You lack any life experiance to speak of, we could never accept such a non-well-rounded pony' He remembered the Dean telling him. "What worth does all of this knowledge have if I am all alone?" Schola laments as he slowls plods home.
  5. “Thank you very much” Schola says as he puts back on his beloved cloak, a great seemingly lifts itself off of his shoulders, even if some was added. He then turns to Rose, saying: “We should all celebrate here, I could think of no place warmer, in regards to ambiance, fellowship, and temperature.”
  6. "In my college back at the University, 'College Equus', we used to have a huge gathering for all 'students and well-wishers' on Hearths Warming Day." Schola recalled happily, bringing back happy memories. "We would for at least that day put away all of our studies and worries and gather together in friendship and hospitality... This will be the first time in seven years that I will have not been part of it..." Schola paused in a momentary self-lamentation. "Well at least my apartment is full of university texts, it be like attending the gathering but without any friends" He thought to himself.
  7. "Ridiculous, we are all friends here my friend, it is Hearth's Warming Eve!" Schola calls out to Rose enthusiastically, turning to the group. "Today is the day to celebrate what ponies everywhere can achieve if they just come together in friendship! Just look up at the sky." Schola points up. "Thousands and thousands of heavenly spheres turn in perfect harmony throughout the firmament in circles eternal, just so should we!" Schola's eyes sparkle from all the Hearth's Warming spirit rushing through his veins.
  8. Replying to Draco: "Yeah, but I had not earned any money yet so I account it as naught. I thank you for the job and potential bits you have given me. I have only been here a few weeks and have not really seen the town, I just wanted to give my patronage to this very nice pony here" He says gesturing to Diamond, "Who let a beggar such as myself seek shelter from the cold here, she also gave me a cup of tea and coffee on the house! This would have never happened in Canterlot."
  9. "Well if I had a job I would be able to buy coffee" Schola started to reply "..I would probably buy it here." He then turned his attention to Diamond. "Sorry about not having money, is there any I could open some sort of tab? I swear I am good for it... well... not right now. But I will be good for it.. well I hope I will." he ponders for a moment, hoof on chin "Now that I think about it I would not give myself a tab... but that should not stop you from giving me a tab!" He said, smiling sheepishly.
  10. Schola drinks the coffee very slowly, taking time to enjoy the taste. "Sweet coffee, 'tis thou hast ravished me! Bene pacire est finis coffee. Is, to be pleased, coffee's chiefest end? Affords this beverage no greater miracle? Then drink no more; thou hast attain'd that end." he repeats to himself. "But a greater matter presents itself" he says to Ace, "You, good pony, still have my cloak! May I please retreave it?"
  11. "πάντες πῶλοι τοῦ εἰδέναι ὀρέγονται φύσει. σημεῖον δ᾽ ἡ τῶν αἰσθήσεων ἀγάπησις: καὶ γὰρ χωρὶς τῆς χρείας ἀγαπῶνται δι᾽ αὑτάς, καὶ μάλιστα τῶν ἄλλων ἡ διὰ τῶν ὀμμάτων…" Schola thought to himself, lost in thought. When suddenly a wonderful smell reached his nose. He snapped out of his trance to see the aqua vitae, liquid ambrosia, magnum opus, coffee! Schola eyed Draco's coffee greedly. "Alas alas, I have but one bit!" He lamented inside. "Uhh..." He stammered, "Can I get as much coffee equal to the value of one bit please?".
  12. Schola answered "I do, I have a small place I am renting, but it seems like I am down to my last bit." he looks down at his all too light coin pouch. "But with this work you are offering it seems like I will be just fine" He smiles genuinly as he says this last part. "Thanks for paying by the way."
  13. “A valiant pursuit!” Schola exclaimed “I myself and from Canterlot you know, I attended the university until just two weeks ago.” He then paused, recalling unpleasant thoughts. “I was there you know…” he finally says in a quiet tone. He then was silent for a full minute.
  14. “Your delivery service seems to service a wide area, quite the achievement…” at this point Schola remembered that he had been served tea. He picked it up and started to drink. “This is pretty good, and doubly so when considering its price, thank you” he says to Diamond. “Where was I? oh yes, deliveries. Why do you feel the need to focus on Canterlot?”
  15. “’You can never overanalyze’ is my motto. If I had let my feelings dictate my actions I would not be in the position I am at today” Realizing the irony in his own statement I regards to his own circumstances Schola chuckled sadly to himself. “Would that I did, I may very well not be in my position” He thought. … “I can understand trying to spread happiness though… I never caught your name, mine is Schola.”
  16. “I suppose I assumed the hypothetical pony to be unconscious or under some other sort of physical duress. But it is relevant neither the possibility of her planning it nor any future feelings towards her. I am also going to assume that for this pony to be my special some-pony I would have positive feelings towards her.” Schola replied. "I would like also to think that bodily sensations would be a secondary concern.
  17. “Hmm…” This took some thinking… “Ah” he said with a spark of inspiration “I think I would use myself the ‘talisman of high resistance to impact’, throw the rock to get the attention of the manticore, try to get the ‘talisman of healing’ to the hypothetical pony, and have us both run I opposite directions and hope that he gave up before killing me”
  18. Schola observes the scar closely before speaking. “In your case it was better to act, but not so if I was there. If I attacked a Manticore I would surely die, quite swiftly and unceremoniously I might add. Then both myself and my hypothetical special some-pony would be dead. Nothing would have been gained by my recklessness."
  19. Schola furrowed his brow “Well I have no loved ones per se, but if I were to have one I would think that it would depend greatly on the circumstance. Only after weighing all possibilities and what they entail could that decision be made… But all things being equal I should think that I would not run”.
  20. “Hmm…” Schola pauses to think… after a few moments I quite concentration he came to a decision: “I will do it, I will take your job. I am rubbish when it comes to danger but I am so good at paperwork I think it may balance out”. "First sight of danger and I am out of there" he thinks to himself.
  21. Schola looks at Draco suspiciously, finding his lucrative offer hard to believe. “Why is such work merit such high pay? Also, I am not a particularly fast or athletic pony. Perhaps there is some office work available?” “There has to be something wrong with this picture, it is far too lucrative”
  22. Schola snaps out of his thoughts and looks up at Draco. “Yes, but I don’t want one” He thinks, but says: “Uhh… yes… I suppose I do” “If I don’t my funds will soon run out”. “Why?” At this point he looks over and sees his beloved black cloak. “You there! You look alive and well now don’t you?” he calls to Ace.
  23. Schola furrows his brow and rests his head on his right hoof. He continues to ponder, largely ignoring what is going on around him. He hears what is said but does not cognize it. "Perhaps I have a conflict of values, I value food but also learning... but are these commensurate?"
  24. "Thank you very much, this is very much appreciated." Schola replies, putting the coin back into his pouch. "I think I will stay here a bit before moving on, I am starting to like it here in Ponville" he ponders to himself He looks back down at his pouch with a frown "I shouldnt have purchased that book, I don't have a department to pay for food anymore" Schola becomes again lost in thought concerning his new temporary life.
