[ It's bright and early in the morning when Violet sends out this message – she's got unpacking to do, so it seems like the smart idea to get this up now and come back to it when she's got some more free time. Of course, Violet being Violet, what's supposed to be a simple "new school who dis" post ends up being, uh, kind of more verbose. ]

Good morning. I hope I haven't posted this too early for anyone to see.

My name is Violet Evergarden and I'm a new student here – I will be joining the 12th grade students once the school year starts up again. Since there's so many of us here and quite a few of us are away from the school currently, I thought it would be best to introduce myself through the network.

I come from Germany, so traveling to France has been quite a change for me, though I've done some traveling before. But this is my first time attending a school like this, especially with so many other magic users, so I'm looking forward to meeting the people I will be spending my time at school with.

Since I've just arrived, I'm not quite used to the campus yet, so I'm curious to know what the more interesting places in the school are? Or if there are any student clubs or organizations it might be good to look into joining.

Regardless, it's good to meet everyone and I can hope we can get along for the next few years.

Really? I suppose that isn't too out of the ordinary, there's homeschooling and there are some other things...

[shiritai]

I suppose homeschooling isn't too far off. It wasn't on any sort of formal schedule, but I've learned what I need so far. This is just my first time in a formal environment with other students.

[stavros]

Oh, more like unschooling! I've heard of that too. The idea that you learn better if you do it at your own pace and will, right?

[shiritai]

That's correct. It can work very well for some people, but certain individuals might find they require more guidance or assistance to be able to apply themselves to their studies properly.

[stavros]

So some people need to be told what to do, others need to... not that, I suppose?

[shiritai]

It works for some people, but I can't really say the same for myself. I find having structure to be much more helpful.

[stavros]

I hope that you find success here, then. Things can be fairly chaotic, but you will find the instruction you need.

[shiritai]

I'm looking forward to it. By the sounds of things, there are all kinds of interesting subjects to pick up here. Is there anything in particular you've been enjoying so far?

Phys.Ed appears an insurmountable foe, but I swear to you that this will be the year that I finally surpass the beep test. Twenty-one rounds of cardiovascular endurance. The average student makes it six or seven.

My record is classified.
