[WARDED TO RIBBONFIN SENIORS]
Oh, I know what you're thinking, but there will be no scolding or lecturing from your local prefect today. I promise. Actually, I've just been struck by the realization that 2013 has barrelled by shockingly quickly, and only promises to get busier, what with exams and Drama rehearsals and Winter Formal. Everyone's trying to keep our heads above the water and not drown from the stress (not Ras, obviously, he's a strong swimmer and stress-impervious), but... it's the holidays, and we should remember to cherish the time we spend together. We've been rainbow trout for three years and three months now, and in June, we'll be graduating and leaving Ribbonfin forever.
Thank god, you're thinking to yourselves. Soon I will escape the suffocating boa constrictor hold of Ravi's fussing. Ah yes, but until then, might I suggest we have a little get-together, just the ten of us? This weekend's going to be exceptionally crowded, so next week, perhaps? Please let me know what you all think. It can be just a few hours in the boys' cabin, catching up and relaxing. We can have hot chocolate, and I'll clean out Event Committee's supply of pastries.

December's always an odd month, isn't it? I feel like I haven't seen you very much lately, with [...] everything going on. How are you handling your classes? Worried about exams at all?

Definitely into this idea - the year really is going fast, so it would be nice to have some time all together. Ideally this won't be the last get-together of ours though! Next week is a fine idea.
Also your fussing isn't so much a boa constrictor as a seatbelt secured a little too tightly. :)
[RAVI]
Normally I don't do this but I'm going to have a moment of weakness here.. I petrified about graduating. I don't want to leave.Let me know if you need any help planning this thing!Ribbonfin Seniors
And yes, thank you, Asher. That's a far superior visual. Uncomfortable, but still made to protect you all from the dangers of this cold, cruel world.
[Asher]
It's alright, Anuhea offered her help already. Which I'm thankful for, because as it turns out, I know nothing about "parties" and "having fun."
And you're welcome about the column. I know I should contribute as well, but I reached the second question and it just made me remember
when I realized I couldn't become a doctor like my parentshow I'd never be normal againI don't know if this is what I wantthose old muggleborn anxieties I had when I was much, much younger. I'm sorry, I should sit down and write something for them.Ribbonfin Seniors

Really, no pressure. It's just a pet project anyways - keeps me distracted and focused towards my goal of journalism. Don't be sorry for
taking care of yourselfnot pushing yourselfdoing what's most comfortable.[...]
Let's have a coffee date soon? I feel like it's been a while since we've properly caught up. Might be good for the both of us. After all, the clock is ticking...
Asher/Ravi
talking to D. Did you receive any good contributions yet?But ticking to what, Asher? Graduation, or something rather more ominous? (You know we go to a strange school when that's not even really a joke.) But in all seriousness, that would be great. Sunday night, maybe? There's too much happening, too fast.
Asher/Ravi
I mean, real life as an adult is ominous enough, even without the craziness of Gooseberry... But yeah, Sunday night sounds great. I need to take a break from the newsletter and my project and studying and everything else.
