How on earth did that racoon make it into my locker?!

I mean, fortunately Nate was on hand to help me out, but I swear to high heaven that I was so shocked I nearly fell over.

Still, at least it's not even close to being the weirdest thing to happen to me at Gooseberry...

I can't believe so many 'final' things are coming up. Last Quidditch matches/chance to cheer, last dances, final EXAMS of course... if you need me and I'm not around, I'm probably hiding in the cabin, let's be honest.

It looks like some people are getting very much into the spirit of Dyngus Day around here, but then, at least we in Ribbonfin are used to really cold water!

How is everyone managing today? Anyone get splashed?

I'm so glad we've got Into The Woods for the musical this year. It's such a fun story, and I feel like no matter who gets what part they'll have a great time performing it, which means it's going to be even more fun for the people watching.

And on another personal front, I signed up to live in one of the city dorms next year. All the students on the magical study course opted to, so they're going to spread us out so we're in the same part of the building, but we're likely to have No-Maj roommates and neighbours. That's going to be pretty different an experience for most of the students, I think, but I'm looking forward to something different!

I feel like Shakespeare would have been way into people being silly and having fun with his plays. I mean, some of those jokes are just MADE for people playing it as ridiculous as possible.

On the subject of gender-blind or casting, though, if you had to pick a Shakespeare work for that, which would you go for? Because I'm thinking Henry IV/V would be pretty awesome for an anything goes strategy, or something like Merry Wives if you wanted to go completely out of left field.

Ladies. I know we are all busy but it has been way too long since we got to hang out, and the gala reminded me of that a lot.

Let me know when is good for you both, yeah? I'll treat. <3

So, best thing about Spring Break? Sounds like a whole ton of stuff happened! I spent a lot of it in New York, for parties and stuff, but I was also checking out places to live next year! My choices are sharing an apartment, living in a dorm with no-maj students, or sharing a very small dorm they're starting with the wizarding class. So yeah, that's a decision I've got to make in... about a month. Awesome!

I was still in NYC for my birthday, so shopping and going to more things was a great way to celebrate. I only spent a short amount of time back in Philly, after all that!

[Nate]
I had a great time at the party with you <3

I am definitely confused about what's going on around here right now.

I mean, not that this doesn't occur on a semi-regular basis anyway, but...

I can't remember the last time a Quidditch match happened quite like that one. Talk about one for frustration!

I'm definitely going along to the mask making event, but mostly because I'm hoping for inspiration for my total ensemble, not just my mask. It'll be a really fun night, I think!

Hey you guys. While I'm trying out for the Gooseberry Cheer Squad, I'm not too bothered either way about the captaincy. So I'm just warding all of you guys to say that I'd really love it if one of you guys got it, because I love you guys. <3

Nate
Hey!

I'm so not touching the Ornery Oak! Last thing I need are broken bones. But I have to say, part of me is kind of impressed by people who actually manage to beat the thing.

Well, I really enjoyed watching the talent show! It was great to have a different kind of evening thing to do. There sure is a wide ranging bunch of talents in this place...

Well, I WAS going to write about the PTCs, but now we're stuck up here and people are seeing crazy stuff, it hardly seems like the most important thing.

I hope us Ribbonfins aren't going to get too used to sleeping in the lodge...

[ooc: forward dated to the morning of the 3rd, because I'll miss it being at stupid work. XD As per the plot post, Tabs got her acceptance letter at breakfast, screamed, and then blushed profusely and apologised to anyone she pissed off/shocked.]

OH MY GOD. IS THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENING

OH MY GOD.

I GOT IN!!!

Tomorrow, I'm going into NYC for my audition, and then whatever happens, I can throw myself back into the rest of the school year without that hanging over me, whatever happens afterwards.

It actually feels kind of liberating.

Drama Club

Turns out, they're also scouting for applicants for a wizarding drama major. Do I go for it? What can I even read?! Apparently most of it is to be prepared with a partner on the day, so they're giving people time to decide. But still.

Your cousin wrote to me and explained the ceremony. It sounds beautiful, but I have grave concerns about it being too intense to be something I am ready for, and also stuffing up something that appears to have great cultural significance I also want something that puts us on a much more equal footing.

Instead, I suggest we just talk. Just you and me, somewhere with no-one else around. But you have to promise that this stays between us, because I don't want half of Ribbonfin asking us about things that are incredibly personal.

Maggie & Cricket, Sun-mi/Ivy/Zoey, Levi - separate wards

HEY.


Party Ward (feel free to tag yourself in on the plot post if you know Tabs and she likes you!)

I sent you guys notes with dates. You're totally free to hang out longer if your travel plans need it.


So, I worked out the issue I was having with my project and now I don't want to completely change it.

That said, I still need to tweak my audition composition piece and now I'm having serious doubts about THAT.

Argh!
