    Whew. Computer screen flunked out on me; just got a replacement. I was overdue anyways.

    Anyways, wow. In the space of 4 comics, you've introduced ~400 new questions.

    That's why I like Murphy's Law.
    I'm mostly here for Warframe and a tiny bit of RWBY.

    Finals already? I may not be in college, but mine aren't for a few more weeks!

    You too? I swear everyone I know is either done with finals already or are having them this week. Everytime I get on Facebook there's a new message about how someone is so glad to finally be home and I'm stuck here for three more weeks. Guess this is karma coming back to bite me for being all kinds of smug for starting like, a month later than all of them. Good luck on your own finals though! Don't only do half the thing because you didn't realize it was double-sided or something! (I know someone who did that... baaaad day.)

    Nope! My UC is on the quarter system, my finals are on the 13th and 14th of next month. I can't wait. Coming from a college that did semesters I would be done in a week or two, and the 3rd quarter really beats you up the first time.

    Anyone who needs a plausible source of a sound that isn't plainly magical or illusionary.

    Or anyone who's paranoid enough to save two spell slots per day for the following:

    Protocol: Before resting at the end of the day, cast a future-telling spell (in one of the saved slots) and ask "what spell would be most useful for me to prepare in my situation slot (the other saved one) tomorrow, named according to the list I am holding?"

    The list would chart all spells as root words, and all metamagics as prefixes or suffixes, so that the correct spell can be given as one word. Once one has more questions availible, save more than one slot for the situation spell.

    Well, as it still fits within IC logic (paranoid, but still), it works.

    I wouldn't want for any of my own finals to be canceled really. For most of my classes the final will mean a difference between a B and an A. Mostly in intro to digital systems as the TA who grades my lab reports seems to have something against all human beings everywhere.

    One of the great parts about my college is that I literally started my vacation in mid-April. Not only does my vacation literally take up one third of the year, but because my college gets off a week earlier than most other ones, I was able to snag a summer job fairly easily.

    Also, a very weird coincidence: I just realized that one of my engineering classmates was named Caroline Kramer. Same spelling and everything. She obviously isn't Coffee, but I thought it would be mildly entertaining for Coffee to know that she has an evil twin here in Michigan.

    Also, in regards to the "what kind of person would prepare that spell" question, we already have evidence that Miles is heavily suspicious of Rust and probably completely paranoid. It wouldn't be unlikely to assume that Miles would prepare that entire three-spell combo every day so he would be prepared in the event that someone catches him snooping where he shouldn't be. Heck, he might have Readied that Quickened Invisibility spell in case he fumbled a Move Silently check while eavesdropping on Rust.

    I wouldn't put it past him to prepare a wide variety of spells for emergency situations.
    After all, he is unlikely to need to need to use damaging spells (Rust is unlikely to do something so foolish as to attack someone), and he can do that with a wand of magic missile or something.

    Exactly! Miles has always been a rather suspicious fellow, but now he's completely paranoid! Also, dun, dun dun with the other me...Though no. I am not an engineering student. At all. Physics... *Shudder* I AM prevet though, which is like premed but with even more grade obsession because there's only 28 vet schools in the US and I've got my sights set on Cornell Vet School, the best in the country. And I'm taking organic chemistry next year.

    To get back on topic, I really don't know if I can get this update in before finals end and I go home; my first final is tonight and even though I'm confident in gen chem, I'm not nearly as confident in statistics and physiology and I have to get a LOT of studying in. I can do it, it's just not going to be fun. At all.

    But if I can't get the comic up before I go home, I am getting a tablet as an early birthday present within a couple days of heading home, so would you wait a few extra days if I can't get it up by Wednesday for me to get a hang of the tablet? The comics won't be completely tablet-drawn, but it'll make a bunch of details and stuff a lot easier, especially since I'm a lefty but I've kinda been trained to use a mouse/touchpad with my right hand.

    Of course we're willing to wait.
    It's better to take as much time as you want than to rush it.
    Not like you're getting paid to produce Murphy's Law at this time.

    Your evil twin was in my programming class. One of the things I love about studying engineering is that you don't need a twitchy-eyed obsession with your GPA to continue along your career path. You essentially just have to pass your classes and make sure everything you learned in college doesn't leak out your ears the moment you graduate. Then again, you'd need to study physics. And four terms of calculus. And somehow cobble together the degree requirement of 128 credits (16 credits/term, on average). It's not for the faint of heart, let me tell you.

    You should also be happy to know that being a good drawer makes orgo much easier to handle, especially at the beginning. Also, the class will teach you how to draw regular polygons with both speed and accuracy. You might be able to get away with drawing comics on your tablet as structured procrastination.

    So, yeah, don't worry about posting a new comic until after your exams are over. If you put up something and failed a class because it cut into your study time, the ensuing guilt would far outweigh any gains we might achieve by getting the comic a few days early.

    Guys, my last final's tomorrow and hopefully it'll go as well as my first two did. Assuming I'm not sleep deprived, I think I'll do okay. Physiology's going to be my hardest final, but I actually get the material, or at least enough of it to do well. Now here's hoping I do well enough to get an A- in the class; I'm right on the A/B borderline.

    Anyway, I'm posting this because I'm headed home Wednesday, which means that there WILL be an update by Saturday at the absolute latest; even if I don't get my tablet by then. So hang tight, and I'm sorry for the delay!
