Two weeks to go, people.

I have no idea why I'm struck with this sudden streak of altruism - but just to remind people that finals happen to be week-after-next? If you're completely convinced you're going to ace everything without needing to study quietly, can you at least refrain from turning into a caffeine-fueled dervish while some of us are attempting to finish their Flight research project?

Huh. And I thought it was just because people are annoying.

Well, there is the whole 'going mad and losing track of what you yourself are feeling/thinking' if you're strong enough and completely without shields. Speaking as someone who had crappy shields and undeveloped telepathy for better than twenty years, it's not a particularly good way to live.

Yes, but you're insane. It's a chicken/egg scenario.

Oh, hah.

Seriously, you should ask the Professor about some of this stuff. Having been the beneficiary of one of his crash courses in psionic ethics, I can speak from personal experience that it's very interesting. For you it'd be an academic exercise, obviously - maybe a new context in which to frame your understanding of the science behind it all?

And now Moira's threatening to throw my laptop in the pool.

Interesting. May look at it for next year's class load.
