Okay, Gooseberry --

I think it's time for me to join a study group.

Really, this time, not just showing up one afternoon and then ~~ghost~~ disappearing
due to various distractions.

Please advertise via this entry! x

[Addy]
Have you ever thought about [...] a Potions Service?
Or Business, I guess.

	False advertisement. Do not join this study group. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's basically true. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is it really a study "group" if you just study by yourself near people? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We're in seven of the same classes, we could probably find a way? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Saira has a regular study group which I drop in on, but maybe it would be useful for us to start a new one? Especially for us seniors who are trying to stay on top of this year's curriculum, or don't have very flexible schedules. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	valentinez 2017-01-25 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	I'd be interested. Definitely. I've just finished writing in my planner up until the end of February, and [...] oh boy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I know. It's rather like the heads of the Hydra. Every time I cross off something on my to do list, three more things pop up.

It's a good thing we share most of our classes. That's... Hermeticism, Charms, Astronomy, Herbology, Transfiguration and Potions. We just need to find more people to cover your whole schedule. What other classes do you have? Divination?

	At least a lot of it's interesting? It's never that I don't enjoy the majority of my studies. There's just a lot of them. I also have Aesthetic Magic and Artificing. Mum says they should have had me sign a waiver, which is rich coming from her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I feel the same way. It's fun, but sometimes it's a lot to keep track of, especially when it comes time for paper deadlines and exams to pile up. [...] Are you handling everything alright?

Maybe we can ask Cecil if he wants to join a study group? He shares Div with you, and I believe he and Quinn are also in Artificing. Between the four of us, we can cover a lot of material.

	I'm powering through, I think. It's just a few more months, right? And then [...] into the world. That'd be lovely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a strange thought, isn't it? But I'm definitely willing to join a study group. I enjoy my classes too, but it can be overwhelming sometimes and I'm sure we could all work more efficiently together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	qnnc 2017-01-25 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	If by "strange" you mean ~~"distressing"~~ "unnerving." I'd also be grateful for the company and fixed study time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	choneychurch 2017-01-25 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	I mean a lot of things, honestly. Some days it's exciting, some days it's terrifying, and some days I can't even wrap my mind around it. But we'll all be fine, Quinn. Sounds like a plan, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	paladins 2017-01-26 01:04 am UTC (link)
	Will we? I'm starting to see the point of all those people who make apocalyptic pronouncements about graduation. It's definitely a plan. We're guaranteed to get A's. Not that we aren't already getting A's. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	choneychurch 2017-01-26 01:09 am UTC (link)
	Of course, we will, Ravi. One way or another, we'll figure out where we're supposed to be and we'll work hard and we'll get there. Try not to worry. Mostly. Mostly A's. I hope that doesn't get me kicked out of the study group? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Zoey/Addy adorbs 2017-01-25 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	Like, here at school to sell (LEGAL ONES) to kids for for pocket dragots or for a Real Person Job? I MEAN either way both, def both. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Zoey/Addy valentinez 2017-01-25 08:08 pm UTC (link)
	Pocket dragots! [...] Well. Both, peripherally. But mainly the first for now. I had someone approach me before Illegal Camping to brew something for hangovers. I thought -- since we sort of played with that other potion -- it might be a fun extra thing here and there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zoey/Addy adorbs 2017-01-25 08:16 pm UTC (link)
	Omg genius! I think that'd be awesome. We could like. Have a premade catalogue and stick to that so we don't become accidentally drug dealers? And if we did that and bought our own ingredients I'm sure we'd be in the rules!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zoey/Addy valentinez 2017-01-25 08:19 pm UTC (link)
	Yes! We could come up with little waivers, too, just in case? I think it could be fun (and helpful). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zoey/Addy adorbs 2017-01-25 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	Ooooh yes. A waiver would be really smart. And it'll be totally fun. I love making hangover potions. Like really between those and the antiseptic one and maybe light calming draughts and pepper ups for exams week and stuff, we'll be SET for business. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zoey/Addy valentinez 2017-01-25 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	Exactly! We could maybe offer like [...] options for infusing with tea or hot chocolate? That seems to go over well with people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zoey/Addy adorbs 2017-01-25 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	Yyyy! We'll have to adjust the formulas a little but lol won't be that hard. And I've heard you have legendary hot chocolate ALREADY. I bet we're gonna be begged to bottle this by the end of the year :D Tysm for thinking of me on this, this is so exciting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zoey/Addy adorbs 2017-01-25 09:10 pm UTC (link)
	ME NEITHER tbh ♥ Hmmm. We could start by MAYBE bringing samples to the next party and being like SURPRIIIISE THEY'RE FOR SALE? Or like ask around, idk what is smarter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zoey/Addy valentinez 2017-01-25 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	Why not both? I like the idea of samples. We could show people and get some opinions, and then start advertising on the journals based on how things go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It sounds like a crazy cartoon character that later turns out to just be in someone's head. Let's let people submit ideas, maybe? It could go on the waiver or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zoey/Addy adorbs 2017-01-25 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	Lol omg it does. But a very fun crazy cartoon character. IF the potion thing doesn't work out we could totes sell that idea. ANYWAYS. That could be fun!!! OFC we would get final say so we wouldn't be named something dumb. It has to be something that'll look cute on a label (we're going to have fun labels y?) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zoey/Addy valentinez 2017-01-25 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	Another potential back-up future career. Cartoon Conceptualist. Absolutely we'd get the final say, knowing some of the people we go to school with. Ooh- What color scheme? Should we do like school house stuff, house-inspired, or totally branch out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zoey/Addy adorbs 2017-01-25 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	Omg two careers. We're tycoons basically. HMMMM as for colors! I kiiinda like the idea of branching out? Maybe calling back a little to the school colors? But it's like, we're us, not the school? What do you think? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zoey/Addy valentinez 2017-01-26 12:23 am UTC (link)
	Geniuses! Hmm. What about gradients? We could do different shades of green and blue depending on the product, but compliment with weird patterns and illustrations and stuff, or pops of other crazy colors? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zoey/Addy adorbs 2017-01-26 12:41 am UTC (link)
	Omg so pretty. I love this. Every different kind could have ~themes but at least for now every label could be Unique? We're gonna be all custom and awesome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zoey/Addy valentinez 2017-01-26 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	And maybe rich! Comparatively. To today. Also, it'll sound really good in interviews. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zoey/Addy adorbs 2017-01-26 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	That's way rich enough for me, bb. Omg we can phrase it as SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS AT 17 it'll be fantastic. Oh. Is this a thing you think we should ask permission or beg forgiveness for, from prefects? I'm not asking teachers bc lol grotto parties, duh. And usually I'd say lol let's do it and hope for the best. But this year is so testy about rules so eh i'm not sure. (Reply to this) (Parent)
