Top Ten Tips for Surviving to Squirehoodby Keladry of Mindelan, with annotations by Nealan of Queenscove 1. Don't bait Lord Wyldon. Only bait Lord Wyldon if you think you can get away with it.2. Run. Run to build endurance and strength, over broken ground and up hills. You don't have to run at university. They discourage it. I should have stayed there.3. Make friends with your horse. If your horse is not evil. SOME HORSES ARE EVIL.4. Study math! This is more helpful than you think, especially if your knightmaster likes to make you do supply lists. Find a friend who will help you with math. Your knightmaster will find more creative ways to torment you then supply lists, believe me.5. Don't worry. No one looks good in red and gold. I do!6. Know the Code of Chivalry. It's not the worst thing you'll have to memorize, and it can come in handy. Mostly it means holding doors open for people you don't like, I'm just saying.7. Stay on Master Oakbridge's good side. ...and he'll turn a blind eye when your friends batter you with baguettes. Hmph.8. Read about old battles. Tactics and strategy can and will save your life some day. According to Lord Wyldon, so will playing Capture the Flag on the summer trips.9. Learn how to put up a tent. This one I agree with.10. Don't waste too much time reading books of philosophy when you could be training. KEL HOW COULD YOU I TAKE OFFENSE TO THAT HOW ARE WE EVEN FRIENDS-- well I know what I'm getting YOU for Midwinter this year.
