[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?

Date: 2020-05-13 08:15 pm (UTC)I haven't met Kusa yet. I'm glad you're getting along, though! Do you want me to come up, or would you rather come down here? I'm in 3A on the first floor.

She's new, like me! I'm glad, so we can both puzzle things out together.
Oh, I'll pop over, I need to get familiar with places anyway.
[It takes a few minutes, but soon the girl was there, giving Lydia a wave].
I made it!

Great, come on in! Have a seat. You want something to drink? I have lemonade, chocolate milk ... and I think there's still some orange juice left, too.
[the two princesses had wasted no time decorating the apartment in their style: black, purple and red were everywhere, and their Goth chic was extremely apparent. Mal had done murals of spiders, dragons, and bats all over the larger swaths of empty wall, and Lydia had made curtains with spiderweb patterns and draping at the bottoms. Some of her favorite photographs were framed around the place, as well. her journal was sitting on the coffee table in front of the couch, and she raided a nearby drawer for some paper and a pen so Connie could take notes]

I won't tell anyone. Your friend sounds pretty protective about her secrets.
[At any rate, Connie has to go down to the first floor and walked down until she got to 3A. She knocked politely and Lydia let her in and...Connie just stares a minute. It was one thing to see college dorms in media: usually it was very bare bones, a few posters here and there, closets for secret liasons, nothing to elaborate,. Coming into the room was like stepping into a completely spooky aesthetic and Connie was just LIVING for it. It was an embracing of things that were creepy and spine tingly, spiders and bats and just...it was like stepping into another world, like finding a secret library nook only few people knew about].
This is so...creative! When did you guys have time to do this?!

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?
