[Vanessa]

Rosaline: Don't inflict your pain on us.
Logan: That's not as exciting. :/
Me: XD Logan, go to your tower.

[Jo]

Me: xD Oh Logan. Go fly a plane.

I think Apollo and Marcee would be hypocondriacs. xD

[.]

Me: Hahahaha :P

THERAAA WHERE ARE YOUUUUU

[Jo]

Me: She did mention she was leaving, I think.

WHY DID I GET SICK ON SPRING BREAK. Seriously, back during tests everyone was sniffing and coughing and wheezing and I couldn't concemtrate but it's now that I have to get sick. >_<

[.]

Me: :(((( I know how you feel, Jo D;

[Vanessa]

Me: D: I'm sorry.

[Jo]

Me: I think I caught from my sister but she got sick two weeks ago. I don't even know what throat is anymore.

So I shall inflict it on Marcee.
Marcee: D: What?!

[Vanessa]

Me: xD

Guuuuys, I need some help/advice/input from you.

[Jo]

Me: Anything! :)

[.]

Me: Sure, what's up?

[Vanessa]

Me: In recent days, I managed to get my mom to understand that there is a possibility of me dropping out of the IB diploma. It's not because I'm scared I can't do it, but because the IB diploma is very limiting in terms of what classes I can take. I can't take creative writing/journalism because it's not IB. If I drop out of IB Spanish/IB Music Theory, I can take them. But dropping even one of those classes means that I'm not eligible for the diploma anymore.

I really love writing, but sometimes I feel like I just write teenager-y poetry that's a bit above average. My English teachers really want me to take creative writing/journalism, and they tell me I'm a talented writer, but I want you guys to tell me. Because they only read my essays and stuff, but you've seen more than them.

This mostly applies to creative writing - should I? Because I feel like I got better at roleplaying, and then just sort of flatlined. I feel like I'm at this mediocre level of half-developed characters and weak story ideas. I could get better, maybe. Do you see that in me? I want complete honesty, too. I don't care if you say no, I just need to know from someone.

[.]

Me: I think you could definitely get better. You have a lot of talent and a lot of potential, but remember, your writing will also get better as you mature and grow and understand how to better control your words.

That being said, what does the international baccalaureate give you that you would miss? If it gives you a higher chance of being accepted into the university of your choice, I'd say you should try take writing classes outside of school. If it doesn't do much, by all means drop out and take creative writing :)

Also, you're probably going to hate journalism. I sure know I did -_-

[Vanessa]

Me: I've heard from a lot of people that colleges just sort of glance over IB. :/ I don't know who to believe - because the people that support it are, of course, the IB coordinators. And if I go for it, it's not guaranteed. There are community service hours and extended essays required, and I think you have to pass all the IB exams with a 4. (on a scale of 1-7)

I just know that right now I'm not happy with the way I write and I want to fix it, not abandon it.

[Jo]

Me: Everyone has potential, Van, and you more than anyone. I have no idea what I should advise you to do because I am having similar trouble with school and music (I had to drop out of my second orchestra because of how difficult it was). But I will tell you this: would the IB diploma get you somewhere you want? I have a friend who had the same problem, and he took French instead of Chemistry, and now that he realizes he wants to study biomolecular engineering he realizes he should have taken Chemistry. If there is at least one thing you like the IB diploma could get you, then I would recommend not take CW. I'm the last person you should ever ask because a) in my school my class is the last one without IB, b) I'm not good at advice and c) I'm a freaking coward in terms of decisions like these.

Neil Gaiman once said there has to be a certain level of life and writing experience you should have while writing. Giving up your entire life for writing at an early age doesn't seem very smart, but if you do get lucky it will be very worth it.

[Vanessa]

Me: OK, thanks guys. I think I know what I should do know. :) I'll give it some more thought and then come back to it - I do have until June, so there's time. I just really needed perspective, because I have the advisers who are Pro-IB and the other teachers that are like, "IB NO WTF GET OUT."

[Jo]

Me: I want IB but it wasn't implemented in my school until later. :(

[Vanessa]

Me: D: Aw, that sucks.
I'm going to have to stop procrastinating next year. ;n; ughn. Speaking of procrastinating, I should probably start my Chemistry homework. xD

[Jo]

Me: I'm supposed to stop procrastinating this year. I have to keep researching Shakespeare but I don't want to.

[Vanessa]

Me: I don't want to do anything except Netflix. xD

[Jo]

Me: Bbl, getting my @ss to work. >_<

[Vanessa]

Me: Aw, bye. D:

[Jo]

Me: So I finished an essay, but I lost the e-mail that had all the resources I had for the Shakespeare thing.

[Jo]

Me: THAT'S FANTASTIC *glomp*

I'm 100% with the flu. I finished Math and English but I'm still sneezing my nose off.

[Jo]

Me: Seriously though, I am a strange mix of Courf, Prouvaire and Joly. Wait a second could Grey be Prouvaire

GOOD LUCK.

[Jo]

Me: I was kind of thinking the same. And Una should be the official Enjolras

BAI~

[.]

Me: I'm trying to find a Game of Thrones livecast, uuuuuurgh~

[Jo]

Me: Don't watch it, sorry. :/

[.]

[.]

Me: Where is Hobbitcon?! D:

[Jo]

Me: It's at Bonn, Germany. :(

And seriously I have got the biggest crush on Dean O'Gorman it's not even funny. Oh and on Jed Brophy for some very strange reason. xD

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]

Me: we're at this kind of sketchy Chinese place that apparently doesn't have a license to sell alcohol (which we found out when my cousin's tied to order some beer).

[Vanessa]

Me: I didn't know it was Saturday oh god guys I haven't done any homework. >_< WHY AM I SO BAD AT LIFE?

[Jo]

Me: You can't rate anyone bad at life until they're eighteen. <-My motto.

Guys I feel like I'm going to puke. But I can't, though.

[Vanessa]

Me: I don't think I'm going to make it to eighteen. xD

D: ehh ehh medicine? (as you can see, I clearly have the potential to become an amazing doctor and cure cancer)

[Jo]

Me: xD Van. I've already swallowed a truckload of pills by now.

I just can't stop singing Les Mis songs.

[Vanessa]

Me: Yeah, I'm of no help. :( I'm sorry.

:D Sing, 'tis good for the soul!

[Jo]

Me: ...One day more. Another day, another destiny. This never-ending road to Cavalry. Vacations end tomorrow night, but yet this fate I cannot fight. One day more... xD

[Vanessa]

Me: XD It's perfect.

[Jo]

Me: RED. THE BLOOD OF STUDENTS DEAD. BLACK. OUR WORLD THIS TERM IN SPRING. RED. THE STRESSFUL LIFE WE'VE LED. BLACK. THE SONGS WE NEVEEER SIIIING. xD

[Vanessa]

Me: xD WHY IS THIS SONG SO FITTING? (Isn't Les Mis about revolution?)

[.]

Me: Hold me

[Vanessa]

Me: *holds* Whimsy~`

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]

Me: guys it took the food an hour to come out. We just finished. ;n;

[Jo]

Me: xD I made that up based on Les Mis' song "Red and Black".
