It's a common misconception that Cinco de Mayo is the celebration of Mexican independence.

It's actually the celebration of responsible drinking.

If you're going to pretend to be Mexican tomorrow, don't forget to drink water and pace yourself.

[Ferdie & Nia]

I heard a rumor that you guys are just itching to write a reminder to the prefects that it looks very bad if someone gets killed and/or maimed on their watch. Because I have some great news for you if so.

[Senior Pre-Healer Kids]

I got two at breakfast. [...] King's and State Normal.

Any other acceptance sightings?

[Sy]

Got three letters this morning.

Teens are surprisingly good at getting out of baby leashes, so if someone really wants to die, I guess there's not much their prefect can do. But who have you heard is speeding up their inexorable march towards death today?

Tales from the Junior Class. I'm not sure at what point "joking" about catching mimics and doing experiments on them turns into "serious consideration", but I'm not eager to find out.

Shit's sakes. It's May. Can they not chill for a minute and come back to this plan in September? And this is on the tails of them telling everyone hexes don't work anymore. God, whose to say it hasn't already happened?

They don’t chill a lot, do they.
God I hope they don’t have a mimic.
Probably not, if they were disclosing all this to everyone but [...] that certainly paints that adventure in a whole new light.

Scientifically-minded children cannot be contained by calendar years.

One of the prefects was concerned that some of the other student authority was on board this train of thought. I know trying to stop that class from doing anything is basically asking to be run over by a very enthusiastic train, but playing conductor isn't, like, better.

Responsible drinking? Doesn't sound right at all.

The Mexican army defeated the French army in Pueblo by being less drunk than them. These are facts.

Possible. Doesn't sound fun, though.

Prudence is a cornerstone of my cultural heritage.

[...] I've one from State Normal, but I haven't brought myself to open it yet. Remind me where King's is? (I imagine congratulations are in order?)

New York. If it was a rejection, I would have pretended I never even applied because who wants to go to that dumb school anyways.

Let me know if you want anyone to open it and/or write a strongly worded letter for you.

I figured as much. Congratulations. I never doubted that you'd be accepted. [...] That's quite far from LA.

~~I'm not sure I want to know what it says. I really shouldn't have applied in the first place.~~ Don't worry about me. It's all just a lark anyway.

[...] I think the only one further is St. Mungo's. ~~Maybe I sh~~ But maybe I'll end up right at home. Wouldn't even need to get a place to live.

If you leave it in the middle of the cabin, you might find it open anyways. That's both a warning and an offer.

From New York?

Edited (actually freaking out about this but trying to be chill bc rosy's trying to be chill) 2018-05-04 15:44 (UTC)

[...] Yeah, New York, LA, and Lavender. Maybe the third one is a rejection.

Shit, she's still set on following you to NYC? You know that Alistair told me he was gonna stay in California after grad?

[...] You wanna talk about it, or you wanna burn it?

Of course he is. No coast is safe.

One from King's sitting unopened on the corner of my desk, acceptance from Colorado Healer's College and a free ride to some place in Wyoming, but abso-fucking-lutely not. I must've applied there while drunk.

Everyone knows Drunk Daniel loves dinosaurs and geysers.

My not-so-secret shame. You apply anywhere else?

All the California schools, McGill, McMaster, Baltimore, Penn. I think the only places I didn't apply to are Nunavut and Salt Lake City. I'm good on Utah.

Nothing yet. But I'm hardly the catch you are, so that's not surprising.

Congratulations, by the way!

Anywhere you're hoping to hear from?

Thanks. It's [...] weird to think we're so close to graduation, isn't it?

I'm not picky. Anywhere's a start. Though, being near the water is always better.

[...] Yeah. It's definitely weird. Thinking that things will never be quite like this again.

So no Wyoming? I hear they're handing out scholarships.

I don't even know what I'll do with myself when I'm not allowed to take points from Coppertale anymore.
