[Warded to Senior Coppertale Boys]

I am [...] concerned that some of us are not sleeping enough.

With exams approaching, it is very important that you take care of yourselves. No one here is going to flunk out, especially not because they didn't sleep the night before a test. What can I do to help? If your answer is "Nothing, just stay out of our business, Ramirez." then I will not argue. But I also feel like I need to try.

Meditation before bed? (I do not know how to meditate.) We could have our own study group before we sleep? I could even talk to Healer Mufferaw discreetly if you are suffering from insomnia.

Earplugs and silencing charms have worked wonders, but a study group before we turn might not be a bad idea. Particularly if it's something boring.

What class do we all have in common? Hmmm. Charms and potions. Everyone but you is in transfiguration. Everyone but Ty is in DADA.

With Elmasry grading more on participation I'm not too worried about the final, personally, but it's a lot of information to digest. Might not be a bad subject to tackle.

I'm not in DADA, but I can be the Quiz Master? Rafa and Dimi vs. Chris and Robin! BATTLE OF THE BRAINS!

[...]

Or we could focus on Potions. (What a drag.)

i vote for the drag i'm halfway fucked in potions if I cant ~~learn to fucking read when the cloc~~ get the damn order of shit right on laughing draughts.

It sucks we can't be partners again. We were doing pretty well on that one! You know, before we got derailed by gigglefits.

That was a horrible day.

Horrible seems strong.

Slightly traumatic.

funny as fuck

That too, whether we like it or not.

Mandatory fun. Even I am surprised that I didn't like it more. It sounds like my kind of thing.

Mate, you would make the best primary school teacher.

Funny as fuck.

Physically painful.

My sides still hurt.

You guys need to laugh more, anyway. It's good for you!

The lit final has me laughing until I cry, I'm afraid.

Lit does? If you need some help, dude, that's one where I actually know what I'm talking about!

Honestly, I could use some assistance.

Count me in! Let's get nerdy and talk literary analysis.

Let's get nerdy.

Seconding the vote for potions. Not that a battle wouldn't be fun, but [...] I can see that going poorly. We are all so... driven. And ambitious. And slightly oversensitive. No competitions within the cabin.

[...] Good point. My bad. I get carried away sometimes? (Have you noticed?)

Fine. Potions, it is!

We all do. I am just gently intervening.

Thank you for being flexible, Ty.

Flexible is sort of my specialty. And Potions is my worst class, anyway.

Edited 2017-06-15 19:16 (UTC)

Alright. If we do not all get an A on the Potions final, I will take it as a personal failing.

I was aiming more for the B-/C+ range, honestly. But I'll see what I can do.

Unacceptable. Aim higher. Do not settle for mediocrity.

I'm exceptional at a few things! Potions just isn't one of those things. I've come to terms with it.

[...] I'll try?

Basically what I'm shooting for in transfiguration.

That stupid fucking deer prank was a learning lesson. I did not appreciate it.

Honestly? I don't need anything. I think I've got this. I'm not going to ace everything but I'm in a pretty good place for exams and my project and I'm not stressing. So don't worry about me.

Sleeping's definitely good. Let's all sleep! I don't know anything about meditation, but yoga works wonders for clearing your head and relaxing and stuff. If you guys want to try some with me? I'll even skip the fun stuff. Like the THE SCORPION. Let me know, I guess? And I'm totally down for a study group!

[Rafael]

[...] you doing okay, dude?

I am happy to hear that about you.

Oh, that would be a good idea. You know more about yoga than I do. Assuming everyone is interested, this sounds very... stress relieving? Do you think we could all swallow our pride and agree we might need that? Do you think being very bad at yoga will only add to stress?

[Ty]

Yes, of course. Just fine.

[...]

Maybe I am a little frustrated with myself. I go around and say I do not care, Wes was right, I give up. And it all feels like lies and here I am still worrying that offering to help was a bad idea, and this will become a fight. I wish I would make up my mind. I wish I were better at talking to people, staying calm.

Edited 2017-06-15 18:43 (UTC)

Nah, I don't think it'd stress anyone out. All the fundamental poses have adjusted versions for anyone that's not flexible enough yet and the rest is just deep breathing and clearing your mind and slowing things down for a bit. [...] I know how that sounds coming from me, but seriously. It's a good thing sometimes. And I can totally take the lead if anyone wants to try. Even if it's just you and me, Rafa!

[Rafael]

[...] No offense to Wes, dude, but if you gave up and stopped caring, you wouldn't be Rafa. If this starts to turn into a fight, let it go and take a step back and go from there. Because you've got enough to worry about. But trying to help still matters, you know? It's good yo know you've got my back, even if I don't need the help right now.

You will have to take the lead. I am unfamiliar with yoga as well as "clearing your mind" and "slowing down."

[Ty]

That is the whole problem, I am terrible at taking a step back. But I will try. I am a rock. I am in control. I can ignore things that anger me.

But I do have your back. Always. I will do what I have to do.

Leave it to me!

[Rafael]

[...] I know it's hard for you, dude. New plan: I'll ward you if things start to go sideways? 'DANGER. DANGER, RAFAEL RAMIREZ.' Or whatever. And we can just go somewhere and cool down. What do you think?

I know you do. Only reason I've made it this far, you know.

Yes. Thank you. I will listen to you, I promise. Thank you, Ty.

You do not need me that much. But everything is easier when you aren't alone.

Sure thing, Rafa.

I mean. You did literally pull my stupid drunk ass out of a snowdrift earlier this year. So. I might? [...] But. Yeah. It's definitely easier when you've got people you can depend on around. [...] It's going to be hard for a while after graduation.

I can try yoga.

Nice! Let's do this!

Dimi? Robin? Don't leave us hanging, dudes.

will it turn me vegan

No. It'll make your ass look good tho.

Accurate!

how much we saying is "enough" sleep & can I use the answer to tell tess to fuck off when she wants to go for a damn run

If we can all get seven hours every night between now and finals, I would be very happy. So yes, I think Tess might have to run without you. Sleep in, please.

Does it count as sleeping if I wait until noon to do it seems to be the important question here

If you are not sleeping for long enough periods and are just trying to catch up with naps, then you are probably not getting enough REM sleep.

Yeah

That sounds accurate
