A question

[Yes, it is rather easy to send one of these out when you have the internet back home. Connie was a little vexed that there was no network quite like that here, but she'd make do].

Ok, I know that most of the people here have a lot of questions about how things work and how to fight and all, and so far there have been plenty of you who have graciously given us answers and time (I'm very grateful to specific people here like Mr. Crackshell and Webigail and Princess Deetz, but many of you really helped, thank you). I have a different type of question though.

For those of you who live here and work, how easy is it to do all of your magical studies and keep a stable job? Back home I have to be attending college, but I'll be living on campus. That's different from working here and living AND learning about magic.

Basically, how do you budget your time? Any tips?

Oh, we've done bits and pieces here and there. Princess magic tires you out, so after we come back from a mission we usually have a day or so where we stay around here. Since we have the time to kill, we spend it painting and sewing and stuff. Or I frame the prints for my gallery.

[she was the very picture of modesty about it, too] All the spray paint art is Mal's - she's really good. That one over there, the big spider? That was her Christmas present for me. It actually glitters in the moonlight at night, she put magic in it. And she'll do murals for other people, too. My friend Rose is from London, and she did one of Big Ben for her off a postcard.

As for what you said earlier? Violins are absolutely cool. I mean - I had some opera records back home, right in with all the Cure and Bauhaus, and Adam's Harry Belafonte albums. How long have you been playing?
