Oh, that's excellent news, that you get a change of scene. As to the tiny little pockmarks - I had a bout of being miserably ill when I was a student and did much the same thing, though of course, once I'd counted them, I started making them into little tiny constellation groups. (It at least extended the distraction a little...)
As to my doing something horrible - well, I admit, I am not practiced with that sort of thing. As you say, pushing someone off the stairs is not my style, but I have had fantasies of making the examiners have to pass their own tests and trials at wandpoint. Or having to sit through interminable meetings about the fine points of some topic that has no lasting value. (Perhaps I am too wrung out for any good plots, so I welcome your far more inventive mind...)
Oh, Merlin. They're starting up again on the arguments about what the color choice tests reveal about loyalty and leadership ability. I must look thoughtful and attentive. I'll come by tonight when everyone's off and away, at least.
