Friday night. It's so close and I can't wait for opening night and our director keeps saying such good things about the performance as a whole. It's exciting, and I wonder if Zidane or Ruby felt so... so anxious about anticipating the first act. I should ask him when he arrives!
There are so many things to do before then. I should at least clean up one of the spare rooms or...see about a hotel for Beatrix, Zidane, and Ruby. Oh! Pearl Ruby wrote me a letter and said that I Want to be Your Canary is in two weeks. May 28th is opening night and she expects us to be there. If it's all right with your mother we could leave the day before? If not I will tell Ruby when she arrives we cannot make it for opening night.
Lily! I was going to put some tea on. Would you like some?

Our first full run through is this Monday. Working scene by scene has been quite interesting, but it's time to piece it all together. Everyone is so confident that we will perform well. I can't wait... and yet I cannot help but be nervous. I wonder if Ruby feels this nervous when she's going to be on stage? She always seems to confident when she's on stage. I should ask her if she has any advice.
I had someone ask me for my phone number today. I'm not entirely sure what they meant, so I told them I didn't have one. I wonder why they looked so surprised by that. He seemed very nice, thus we are going out to coffee this weekend. I'm looking forward to it at least. He was very adamant about taking me out.

There is so much to do and so little time. Perhaps I need to take a break for a night from practicing so hard to make sure my political science essay is completed. I might have bit off a bit more than I can chew (at least I do believe that is the phrase) but I must do my best to succeed. I do at least hope that I will pass this test that is coming up.
I did receive a letter from Ruby today. She mentioned that the first performance will be starting in May. I just hope this doesn't overlap with our schedule here for Into the Woods. I will write by immediately to request the dates!
I may have to take it easy. I fear I may be losing my voice from all of the practicing I've been doing. I can't help but wonder if there are other remedies outside of tea, lemon, and honey and merely not using my vocal cords as much.

Finally a letter from home! It seems it's just business as usual, but a small bit busier than normal, thus the delay in letters. Zidane seems to be excited to hear about my part in the musical, and he's planning on visiting. Beatrix also has told me good news that she is fairing well, which is what I was certain of. Busy, but well. She's planning on sending me all of our current affairs, which is a relief.
Though I wonder how much truth there is to these letters. Perhaps I could take a weekend trip back to Alexandria to check up on them. I trust them, and yet I can't help but feel I am slacking in my duties. Maybe the trip won't be so bad, actually, and I'll get to see all of my friends that I miss dearly. I wonder who will be coming to the performance?
I should finish getting ready for class. Oh and Lily I am so sorry for not getting to you earlier! I was busy but I would really enjoy going out to coffee sometime. Perhaps this weekend if you're available?

I have yet to hear from home, and I wonder if I should traverse back to Alexandria to check up on them. They could be busy but I fear the worst. Perhaps I am thinking too hard on what could be happening back home. Maybe I should just give them another week.
In the mean time, I will contiue practicing this music. This song, On The Steps of the Palace, is beautiful but I'm afraid I am hitting some of the notes flat. Perhaps I should go to the practice rooms and work on the notes on the piano. It's such a beautiful song too and I do want to do it justice. I shall make sure to work harder on getting the notes right.
Though I am deeply sadened by Mr. Rimmer's disappearance. I am positive, however, that it was most likely important to his work in space. I will miss him... like everyone else before him. I wonder if this is merely my own luck, and it reminds me to write to Abe when I get a chance. I hope that he is safe.
Hm, Pearl? Perchance if you are not busy we could practice together?

I have never seen so many numbers! My goodness these science notes I took for Lily are so full of information and I do hope they make sense. The homework doesn't seem to be too difficult but I am afraid I do not understand the subject matter. Perhaps next semester I shall take a basic science course to better understand what I was writing. I do hope I got everything that was important like the examples that they professor wrote on the board, but I did explain the situation to your teachers, Lily! They said it was perfectly fine to email them if you had any questions.
Or at least the ones I was able to attend. I am afraid I cannot say so much for the others.
I have been focusing on studying these lines for the musical. I will do whatever it takes to memorize them before the performance and even before that. I just hope that everyone can make it... I have yet to hear back from home.
I do hope everyone is all right. I know that moogles do not travel so fast, however I do find myself worrying from time to time. I do hope they don't get lost while trying to find where I am.

I still can't believe it. So many lines, so many things to do and so little time! I still cannot believe I've obtained the roled of Cinderella. I must do my best, however I also must remember to keep up with my work. With everything I feel so far behind already but I cannot allow that to discourage me.
Lily can you believe it? I can hardly contain my excitement and working with you Pearl has been nothing short but a joy. You are a wonderful actress!
Mr. Rimmer! Would you like to come see the musical come the end of the semester? I think you would greatly enjoy it if you are a fan of the theare.
I must send a letter home. I've been so caught up with this performance I haven't had time. I can only hope Zidane and Beatrix will come... Steiner too, and maybe Dr. Tot. It has been so long since I have actually seen anyone in a single place together, this might be a wonderful time to invite my friends from home.
I should continue to practice for now, as well as get some rest. I feel so nervous at times when I am on that stage.

Perhaps I was a bit too hasty in my work to succeed in this theatre class. That girl seemed upset with the musical of choice seeing as there are few parts of the musical itself, but I am looking forward to it as it sounds interesting! Into the Woods is such a lovely choice too...and I even hear they are holding auditions for the roll of Red Ridinghood with the theatre class at the elementry school!
How exciting is that? I must write to Zidane and Beatrix. Perhaps they will come to view the performance this year.
Lily, what to you think of the musical so far just by reading through?

These classes are much more... I believe intense is the word I am looking for. The further I go through this college, the more I learn about the world. While I have seen so much of it already I cannot help but ponder if this was the correct choice. Broadening my horizons in order to look for new idea's might be the key, but how to correctly utilize it is what I have yet to find.
Maybe I will write to Beatrix in hopes that she will be able to guide me toward my answer. I just hope she is not too busy with the duties I have left her with to reply in haste. I did get a letter from Zidane! He says that Ruby's theatre troop is performing I Want To Be Your Canary sometime in the spring. He tells me she wants me to be there to finally see her play the role of Cornelia without someone stepping in.
He also hopes that I do not mind her gloating about her starring role. I'm sure Ruby's performance will be grand.
Oh, which if that is the case - Pearl if said performance is during the spring break perhaps we could see it together? That is, if it is all right with your mother (it is your mother, correct?)
I believe I will go to the practice hall before musical theatre next week. Lily, would you like to join me?

I believe I am finally understanding this game! Risk has proven to be interesting to master thus far. Perhaps I should be more focused on my classes for the next semester but I am more interested in this game. If I keep myself disracted with this game I am certain I will not do well with classes.
Mr. Rimmer! We should get together very soon to play. I think I understand the rules much better now and I think it would be grand! I think it would be quite the challenge and I have been looking forward to such since you've offered. Would you like to try for tomorrow or perhaps Friday?
Oh! Pearl did you like your gift? I apologise if it was too worn, but I could not find another copy in the castle library.
I think, for now, I will finish signing up for classes.

This holiday is still quite the amazing one. It really seems to inspire the good in people and it is refreshing to see! Perhaps this sort of holiday is needed back in Alexandria. To help the people remember that we are but one large family despite race and what has come to pass. It is a slow healing process but everyone is starting to move forward.
Mr. Rimmer! I cannot thank you enough for the lovely present. This game is quite interesting, and reading the rules has been daunting, but fanscinating. Perhaps in the future you would like to play it with me? I do not think this is the kind of game to be played with a single person.
Lily I wasn't quite sure what to get for you, so one of your presents might be a bit late. Sending for such a gift is difficult considering that it is hard to find now days. How ever, I hope you are enjoying the staff! I figured the use of magic you would appreciate it.
Pearl I apologise as well! It seems your gift got here a bit late. Moogles seem to get lost delivering mail here. If you are free sometime soon I will be more then glad to deliver your gift!
[ooc: So, because I am late to the party, and I am far too lazy to type everything out in an OOC entry, I shall list gifts at the bottom as it seems easier for me. Rimmer got a full set of armor from the Knights of Pluto who helped protect Alexiandria. Lily got both this epic coffee you can only find in Dali in like...disc one of the game, and a thunder staff, and Pearl got a very nice, but very worn copy of I Want to be your Canary by Lord Avon. ♥]

Mr. Rimmer reminded me of this holiday that seems to be coming up. Christmas, correct? Last year I recall spending money on my friends, but those friends I do not see much any more. Are they still friends? I believe so as I miss them terribly. Perhaps I should attempt to locate them and send them a letter of the sorts for the holiday.
In the mean time I shall find some gifts for those back home, and while I am certain they will not understand the holiday they will appreciate them anyway. This last minute holiday shopping was not quite fun last year, so perhaps I shall go to the store this weekend. Lily would you like to join me?
Mr. Rimmer I would love to go out with you again in the future. I have never heard such tales before and they are quite fascinating! I do hope you do not mind my constant questions. The very ideas of space travel are nothing short of incredible and yet we are incapable of such a feat. I must tell my Uncle Cid! He would be curious enough to know more about how it is possible.
I wonder, though, how Abe is doing... It seems many people come and go from our lives that we either forget them, or they are forever a constant on our minds. I hope that one day we can meet again.

I suppose I was bound to recieve troubling word eventually. At the most inconvientent time as well I cannot return home as I must continue my studies until the end. I will write back in hopes that things will turn for the better. Beatrix, I am certain, will be able to handle it. I will have to have high hopes to hear nothing but good news in the future.
Lily have you decided on any classes just yet? I believe that we are able to sign up for classes very soon here and I would hate for you to be forced into classes that may not be of interest because others are full.
Perhaps this weekend I will traverse to the library to study, or perhaps somewhere a little more open. I am uncertain. Hmn, I've not quite found anywhere to study at.
Ah! That reminds me, Mr. Rimmer would you be interested in obtaining coffee or tea with me in the future? I was thinking it would be quite splendid.

I seem to be constantly busy with school and the work. Does this happen everyone or does it depend on the classes? I recall as a child that Dr. Tot would keep me in the library for hours at a time, but back then I was more willing to learn. I loved hearing about the world and the history of our planet and now my focus has become what I must do for Alexandria. It is difficult, I believe, to think about how much time has past when you are so far away from home. I just hope that the people understand what I must do.
Midterms are coming up for some of my classes. I should study harder to ensure I pass with flying colours. Failure is not an option. Though, perhaps when this is all over I can relax is only a small bit. I feel as though I have not had a decent night sleep since my professors announced their tests.
Writing always seems to calm my nerves though. Perhaps I shall see how Zidane is. We haven't spoken since I returned from visiting him. I hope he is all right...

School has been more hectic than I had thought! It isn't such a bad thing but I seemed to have forgotten to at least speak about my life. It is almost relaxing to just write down how my day or week has been whether or not anyone reads it. I suppose campus life isn't as calm as I remember. Deadlines for my classes seem to have gotten more tight and I must work harder to keep myself busy with my studies.
I have been busy in the library lately. Between there and my work in the theatre I feel as though I have little free time but I shall persevere! I believe I will be able to go out this weekend and do something fun. I am unsure of what but I look forward to it.
Oh, C.C. are you busy in the near future? I think it would be lovely if we could spend time together. I'd like to get to know you, better.

Going home was better than I expected! Though I am glad to be back and I was just in time for the new classes as well! I am excited for the new year and I do hope that I will succeed. Everything seems so calm now... Perhaps I should return home more often. It was almost like a vacation despite the work I had to do.
I should work on this homework and then send a letter home to Beatrix. I told her I would at least send work when I arrived home and...I just haven't gotten to it yet. Time certainly does fly, doesn't it?

The start of a new day has got me wondering and thinking about everything that has come to pass. It is not nearly as devastating, I suppose, as I would have thought, but I still dream at night in which those things sing songs I do not understand. Then I have no memory of that week... perhaps it would be wise to write home. I am certain Beatrix would be more than happy to receive a letter.
Maybe this is a sign I should return home briefly before the school year starts. I believe the term is home sick, and I think that is what I am feeling currently.
I shall make plans as soon as I double check the date of our first day of class. I cannot miss school as it is rather important to continue my education.

Those things... How could I even think that Zidane would...
Oh Mother. What have I done?
Perhaps... I should find a way to get my mind off of such things. It seems so faint now, that this week has been but a blur. Everything for naught and... I can't recall what I was thinking.

What a waste of time. If I didn't know any better he was... no I can trust Kuja. He promised he'd be honest with me and thus far as my adviser he has been nothing but. I need to get a grip on myself before things spiral out of control.
Now what was I going to ask... oh right.
Has anyone seen a man with long blond hair and a tail?
There. Ask a question outright so I can move on and return home.
