I --

It's one in the morning. It's one twenty-three in the morning, which is apparently a lucky time? Except that I definitely did not give it permission to be so late. Oh god, where did the night go? I had plans! And they involved homework, and possibly reading, or dancing in the common room with the music very quiet to see if anyone came sleepwalking.


Can Sudoku count as calculus? They are both very absorbing, and involve numbers, and they are incredibly addictive, and ... I don't think that I am fooling anyone.


If someone could wake me up tomorrow, that would probably be a very good thing. It looks like I have a late night. After I close the Sudoku website ...

I just lost a staring competition with a goldfish. I just lost several staring competitions with a goldfish - I didn't know we had a goldfish. And aren't they supposed to only have tiny attentions spans? That isn't fair.

Finally, though! I am in one piece, and caught up, and not failing anything, I don't think? So I actually have time to get caught up on real life. And now that it's not snowing for no reason, maybe jogging? I'm so very behind on training, if I'm not careful I'll turn into a couch potato, all I've done is katas. So many things ideas, so little time, and a wedding!! I have never been to an American wedding.

Miss Lincoln, do you need anyone to help with setting anything up? I know it is last minute, and everything is probably already done, but if I can help, just let me know.

For now, yes, the running sounds like a very good idea. Otherwise I might get fat and have to have a fight with the fish, and I just might lose. Which would be incredibly embarrassing.

So ... I fell in a hole this afternoon and found treasure.

Down by the lake, somewhere a bit away to the right of the boathouse, I was going down to the water and not paying attention, and slipped and found myself in a hole! Not a very big hole, a few feet, perhaps? But I think it was covered with leaves and cardboard, and there was a metal box inside.

I could not open it without breaking the lid, so I don't know what was in the box, and I left it in the hole and covered it up as best I could again. But - well, that's what happened to me today! And I thought all I would have to do was piano, so, I feel like this was better.

Has anyone lost a tin treasure box by the water? It's still there, and I would love to know what it is!

From all of the screaming and chasing I heard, I think people were more concerned about paying people back for pranks than they were about worrying about me. I can't blame them. If I hadn't spent the entire day locked in the little basement study room because because there was no doorknob I probably would have been more worried about other things too. I guess I could have knocked down the door, but that would have been rude, wouldn't it?

We should invent a day-after-April-fools. Where all of us who couldn't fight back on the actual day can gang up and have our revenge. I had all of these things planned that I didn't get to do and one of them might go rotten it seems like a waste. Or something?

At least I'm now very caught up on homework.

All of these Easter things are so beautiful! I feel like I should have helped out, I'm sorry Artie, but it's hard to paint Easter eggs when you have to leave at six o'clock in the morning. I hope you still managed to have fun! We should have another artistic decorative party when things aren't ... exploding and falling down and going missing quite as much.

English might be less beautiful. =( It's hard enough to sound clear and 'effective and concise' when the world isn't spinning. Not spinning, perhaps, but not the way it normally is. This is what happens when I leave things later, I guess? I hope it turns out well; no, rather, I will make it turn out as well as it can.

Is it a bad sign, that I want to go outside and spin in circles for a very long time?

Isn't there anything that we can do?

I'm sorry, someone might already have answered this question before, but if they have, I've forgotten - the piano, can anyone play it? Or do you have to take classes, or be part of something? It looks beautiful.
