UN: STEADFASTSTANCE

[With midterms over, surely, study season is over right?

Wrong, particularly not for poor Gongenzaka, who had to take his midterms late. The timing of the supermoon was not kind- and it leaves little time to study for finals for that matter.

So what better way to put up a positive attitude than a study group! Or something.]

With only a few weeks before final exams, I think we could benefit from studying as a group! It gives tutors and staff a break from one on one assistance, and helps everyone to enjoy the study period!

[Y'know....if you're a nerd.]

I've managed to reserve one of the larger rooms, and with permission, will have tea and small snacks! We just need to keep the room clean afterward.

Let's share what classes we have exams for, and we can arrange to meet and help each other out!

[The message is initially posted in French. It is also repeated beneath, in English, and then Japanese (with some notably awkward linguistic nonsense going on.)]

I'll start; most of my classes are basic (though help for English would be appreciated...), though I am also taking classes in Cryptoliterature, and Runes!

[He does, to be fair, list all of those basic grade 8 classes though.]

hi hiiiiiiiiiiiii

i need help w/ everything, can't tutor anyone in anything but i can bring and eat snacks

can i come????

[betheman]

That is fine! Even if you can't tutor, you could possibly find yourself making an observation that brings someone a breakthrough! [Like when someone points out a weird street sign and you suddenly remember the stove was left on. Or something. Anyway.]

Though, what is 'everything'?

Do you have any specialized classes? [Which is to say...stuff that isn't high-school/middle school Core.]

[suddenlybees]

Bonbon~
I'll come over for drinks!!!
What sorta English help do you need?????

[betheman]

[Excuse him he's busy scratching a mental record-]

Did

Was that a typing error?

Why did you call me 'Bonbon'?

...

Also, English is my third language...so it is unfortunately my worst...

[suddenlybees]

Because you're Bonbon.
But I know English~!!
I'm pretty good at English, right!!?!?!
Conversation??
Writing????
Which do you need more help on???????

[ English is Kano's native language alongside Japanese, but does Gon really want to learn from somebody who writes like this and never shuts up? ]

[betheman]

That answer makes no sense!!

Why am I suddenly- No, why are you calling me this, suddenly!

[Mnnnnn....does he risk this...]

Frankly, I would say 'memory'.

I have to consider my word choices often, and it takes time to speak...not to mention, I suspect it confuses others...

[suddenlybees]

It's called a nickname!!
You don't question nicknames, Bonbon, you just accept them~
As for memory...............
That's like vocabulary, right?
Having trouble finding the right words?
There's a secret to that~!!
I could tell you my trade secret!!!!
But it'll cost you~

[betheman]

It sounds like something you would call someone you love though...

Auhh...yes, something like that.

...

Kano, that is not the point of a study group. The point is that we help each other with what we are struggling with in classes.

[suddenlybees]

Aw, you don't think I love you??
I'm offering to help you, right?
Asking for something in return, that's me asking for help~

[betheman]

I was not under the impression you wished to date, no.

And it is, but when you say 'cost' like that it implies something steeper than an even trade!!

[ Sorry, Gongenzaka, she didn't finish reading your post before logging in. She barely even got past the first sentence. ]

Hang on a second! What do you mean finals are coming up??? We just finished midterms!!!!

[betheman]

Yes!

And near the end of this month, Finals Week shall begin!

[notwithoutafight]

But that doesn't make any sense! We haven't even had spring break yet!

[ Someone's still on the American school calendar. If Videl had known semesters were gonna be this condensed, she might have put up more of a fight about coming here in the first place. ]

[betheman]

Oh! Spring break is after our finals!

It comes before the spring semester truly begins. [Y'know, April, May, June...]

[notwithoutafight]

[ If only you could see Videl's face as she gapes at her computer screen. When you're an American kid, you tend to assume that the whole world does things the same as you. ]

What the heck is the spring semester??? isn't that the one we're in????

[betheman]

Hah?

Of course it is not!

It is only now the start of March; the equinox shall not begin until late in the month...it is Winter, right now!

[notwithoutafight]

[ What does the equinox have to do with the school schedule? ]

Well yeah but that's because spring semester starts in January and ends in May.

Or does this school have THREE semesters?

[betheman]

Well...sometimes, students also study during the summer...

[gon,

gon no,]

[deafleppard]

What kind of snacks are we talking about.

Asking for a friend.

[betheman]

[Of course you are Gwen,]

I have candy popcorn, but in addition to being open for other's additions, I am taking suggestions!

Though I cannot guarantee that I will have everything suggested...

[deafleppard]

I do have a suggestion, not that you mentioned it.

[Don't worry, it's not gonna be corn dogs.]

[betheman]

What is the suggestion?

[deafleppard]

Okay, hear me out.

Corn dogs.

[betheman]

....

I do not know how to make those though...

[deafleppard]

We could always just Google it.
