Oh, marketing sounds fun! Are you interested in business or anything? We have fashion marketing at my school, which I guess is basically like your class, but they focus on fashion and do cool projects, like documenting fashion trends throughout the decades.

Yeah, I totally get what you mean. I didn't go last year, but I'm glad I didn't go this year because someone was going around spiking people's drinks, and a lot of people got really sick. It also turns out that most of the people I would've hung out with went home early anyway, so all's well that ends well, I guess haha.

Sorry I've been kind of absent, I've had projects to do, but I hope you've been well!

Good luck with Iris! Waiting for Elise sounds like it's going to be a pain, so I'll probably just not haha.

And yeah, it was kind of for graduation. The good thing is that it's over and done with now. I think I've gotten better at speaking in front of people I don't know because I did journalism this year, but it still doesn't exactly thrill me.

Have you guys had your prom yet? Did you go? Ours was last night and I wound up not going, and I was fine with it until this morning, and now I feel lame for not going. But I know if I had gone I wouldn't have enjoyed myself, so I guess I'm just being silly and indecisive.

I probably will just to speed up the process of viewing her heart events, if I hold out until then haha.

It's okay, I hope you do well on yours too! I hope you feel better, though. And my week was okay too. On Friday I had to go this banquet thing and speak, so I was kind of stressed, but I was really glad once it was over. I don't like talking in front of a lot of people, so I'm not looking forward to taking a speech class next year. :s

Yeah, I was going to see her really early in the morning because I also go to see Lillie and Angela then (and it seems like she eats breakfast later in the summer?), but it kept me away from my crops longer than I wanted to be and made my days longer than I wanted them to be, so I stopped. And idk if you know this, but her favorite gift is borscht (it was available in Winter of my first year in my last file), and it takes tomatoes and onions, among other things, so you could start stockpiling those if you'd like!

I've also been not really talking to Elise because I know I don't have anything to give her yet, and I won't even be able to see her heart events until Winter of year 2, anyway. The good thing is that her favorite gift, which I think is chocolate fondue, is fairly easy to make because you can get a seed for the cacao tree from the harvest goddess after you give her 75 gifts, if you'd like to go that route.

Iris is so hard to give gifts to that I've basically given up. If I ever decide I want to marry her, I'll give her the ring myself instead of waiting for her to confess. Agate comes in Fall year one, and Licorice comes in Summer year two! I'm almost over with Summer, so I'm excited for Agate to come. Where are you at?

I'm actually super procrastinating on my projects, so I'm gonna have to hit the books really hard tomorrow. I hope you've been well! How was your week?

And I totally get the homework thing, too-- I have two projects in chem, two more in English, and one in calc, and I haven't really started any yet ugh. Now that exams are over I'm definitely gonna get on them, though, and good luck to you on your homework!

Good luck on your finals as well! I only have the one in econ, which is actually like a certification test to say that were financially literate, so hopefully it won't be too hard. If you need any help studying (maybe more so for chem; trig was only ever a part of my geometry and pre-calc classes), I'd totally be willing to help!

Both of those are really cute names, especially Peaches! I kind of like different names for animals, as long as they're not too out there, you know? And omg, I named my cat "Skitty" when I was eight, so I feel you haha. It's actually a good name for her, and it was much better than the one I named her for like a day (Ribbon because she's a tabby, but that name sucked).

Thanks! I feel better now, and I guess it's been going through school, since a couple people seemed sick today, too. And omg, what do you think of SoS? I started my "boy" file a couple days ago and have already gotten through the purple flower events for all the available girls (minus Elise, but I guess she's not technically available yet). I'm really waiting for Agate and Licorice, but all the girls seem great, and I think I'll have a hard time choosing. :/

Omg yay I'm so glad haha. A lot of people don't seem to keen on pits, which I get because some have had genuinely bad experiences with dogs and maybe pits in particular, but then others who have never even met one just seem to listen to the generalizations and claim that all of them are bad. But uh, the plott hound/lab mix is named Thor, and Zoey is our pit bull. We got both of them from a shelter and I don't think either came from very good places (Zoey was in the shelter twice and I think it really messed her up), but they're very sweet dogs. I think Zoey's probably the sweetest dog we've ever had, actually. What are your dogs' names?

Sorry I didn't respond (also that this message is kind of lame lol) earlier, but I got pretty sick yesterday and am still feeling kind of gross. How are you? And I hope you have a good week! Do you have to take any finals this year?

And yeah, we've been to Tennessee before. They're really pretty, but there isn't a whole lot to do in that area, so I didn't enjoy it a whole lot. We also live really close to the mountains, so I guess being there didn't strike me as much as it would someone who didn't live near mountains, you know?

And thanks! I hope you have a good summer too, and a nice weekend.

One of my dogs was called a pitbull/ lab mix by the shelter we got him from, but I think he's definitely a plott hound/ lab mix. I guess the owner just wasn't sure? Our other dog is definitely a pitbull though because she looks like so many of the pitbulls I've seen haha.

German shepherds are so pretty! Growing up we had a dachshund and then a cocker spaniel, so these two are our first bigger dogs, but I think it's safe to say that I'd like to have a big dog from now on. I really like bull terriers, too.

I hope you get a chance to get closer to your brother! I'm glad that my brother and I are close, even if we do fight sometimes, and I'm sure that's a normal part of sibling relationships, so I think you probably will be able to get closer to your brother this summer. And that's cool! I've never been to Texas, but my parents lived there for awhile when they first got married, and I had a friend from there when I was in middle school. I hope you have fun. o:

That sounds like a lot of fun! I've never been to a wedding haha. Are you and your brother pretty close, then? And have you been to Texas before? Do you like it?

I'm not sure what I'm doing yet, other than orientation and band camp for my college. We're thinking of going on vacation, but my mom isn't sure if we're going to the beach or Tennessee yet. I'd really rather go to the beach than the mountains, but I guess it'll be nice to get away either way.

And I don't think you ramble haha, so don't worry about it.

Oh, nice! NOVA's like the most populous part of Virginia, so you should have no trouble finding cool stuff to do if you live there. I hope wherever you move you're happy there!

Omg, good luck with your textbooks haha. I'm sure your school will be happy to get them back either way, but it sucks that you have to replace one because of your dog. Luckily my dogs are out of the eating stuff phase, but I had to replace a fair amount of school materials before they got out of it lol. What type of dog do you have?

I'm thinking the reason no one knows when we get out is because we have a new principal this year, and she's really been restricting senior privileges and the like. Someone today told me that she doesn't want to let us out a week early, but tbh I don't think anyone will show up anyway, regardless of what she decides.

My last day is kind of up in the air, lol. Seniors get out a week early here, which should be May 29th, but some teachers are thinking it's June first for seniors, and some underclassmen I'm friends with are saying the underclassmen last day is the first, so I have no idea. I think I'll have to go back to take a test for my econ class, though, which kinda sucks.

But wow, that's really early! Do you have anything fun planned for this summer?

And don't feel bad haha. I like talking to you, so I definitely don't mind.

Oh, okay! Kind of lame that they don't let you put it in your transcript, though. The nice thing about Virtual Virginia is that they actually pay for the exam for you (you have to take a final for them, though), which I thought was really cool.

And oh, neat! I live about two hours from DC, so I'm not around there terribly often, but I imagine it'd be cool to live close by. Would you live on the Virginia side or the Maryland side? And I've only been to Boston once, but it was pretty nice too, so I hope you enjoy it if you do wind up living there!

I actually had another exam yesterday, and then I have one on Tuesday and I'm done! I feel like I didn't study as hard as I should have this year, but I think it'll be fine in the end. And wow, nice that you didn't have to pay for that haha. I've never owed my school a textbook, but I bought a new one to replace one my dog ate last year, just in case they keep up with that stuff.

Teaching would be nice. As a teacher you can make some friends with students, as long as you teach at a decent school and are one of the "cool" ones. :3 At school everyday I hear classmates/ friends talking about our science teacher, she's awesome. What kind of subject are you interested in teaching?.-.

Sorry I haven't been around much! I've bern kind of keeping to myself and chilling, but it was nice. I feel pretty happy.

Anyway, I hope you had a nice week lasts week, and I hope this one goes well for you too! Are you getting any closer to school ending, or nah?

Also sorry for the last short little message, my phone went ahead and submitted it when I was trying to paste the rest of it haha.

It turns out it won't be a good idea to take credit for some other exams, which sucks since it's basically a waste of money, but I am glad I at least got the experience.

Oh, okay! Is it kind of like a dual enrollment class too, maybe, or more like an honors?

I took Psych online through Virtual Virginia (which makes sense lol), but I know that there are people from other states that take classes on there, too, so I guess it really depends on what your school goes with. Do you get to choose the website yourself? And that's pretty cool, but I guess it also sucks since it'll be your senior year. Are you excited to move? Do you know where you're going yet?

Yeah, I totally get you on that. And my Calc exam was actually today, haha, and I took my chem one yesterday. I felt a lot better about calc than I did chem, mainly because I felt like I could bs my way through most of the calc, which was kind of hard to do with chem. Either way, it doesn't matter what I get on either of them, since I won't be taking credit for either.

I would like to be in the entertainment industry. As either an actor, or a makeup artist. I'm already studying in drama, but I have yet to have experience with makeup. What about you? What are you interested in as far as careers? ^-^

Well, let me reword that. I'm not getting stressed out about it, I'm just planning extremely in advance. Every day I think about it. I really want to be successful in my career choice.
