Hello! I'm sorry that I'm posting this so late in the week, but as you're probably aware, it has been quite a busy week for everyone as we settle back into the halls of learning and begin the process of truly readying ourselves for the Regents Exams at the end of the school year. As a reminder, my classes meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and my office hours on those days will be 8-10 a.m. and 4-6 p.m. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I will try to make myself as available to you as possible, but please remember that I am also a co-director of the PTYC, and so may not be in my office all the time on those days. If you have any questions or need an adult to talk to, please, please, please do not hesitate to come to me! My cell number is [number], and I live in room 2501. Any and all of you are invited to text, call, or visit me at any time!

To my advising group: I would like to set aside a time to meet with each of you individually within the next week or two, to go over what you've done so far, and you still need in order to advance to the next level of your education, or to graduate. Please get in contact with me, or you will find me bugging you.

Is it too early to begin planning a vacation away from New York for this summer?

Johnny, Elsa & Anna are gone.

This day sucks.

I have decided this movie they're making about my life is pretty much the biggest piece of shit ever. I can't really make up my mind if the fact that the person playing me actually looks nothing like me and that fact that there is a lot of ridiculousness in that trailer that has no resemblance to what actually happened makes it better or worse.

Either way, it's fucking ridiculous.

When I first got here, it was hard to see how I could even be who I was meant to be. How could I be a Guardian on my own? Or if there wasn't even anything to protect like there was in my world? And then I tried to have a little fun, to do what I always did before and bring laughter into people's lives, and they get mad about my magic, instead of finding it joyful like it's supposed to be. Does anyone know what that does to someone like me? My entire existence was dependent on kids believing in me. In us. If they forgot us, we'd disappear. Poof. That's it. So it's awful to find people who don't like it, who don't think it's fun or a good thing.

But it is, and I know it's not childish or stupid or inconvenient to bring some happiness into the world. I know it's important. It just makes me angry that other people dismiss it as something annoying or stupid when there's already too much bad stuff in this world.

So I've been trying to figure out how to still be who I'm supposed to be, and I saw one of the Santas, the ones at the malls. And I got to talking to him, because he recognized me, and he said he visits sick kids for Christmas, too, and brings them presents that people have donated. So I'm gonna go with him, because the kids'll know me, and I can make it snow for them or whatever else they want. There are a lot of kids who don't have much this year, or any other year, and if all of us gave something - a toy, winter clothes we don't need, there are a whole bunch of groups that take donations, or you can go to the post office and get one of the cards a kid sent to Santa and fulfill their wishes - we could bring smiles to a lot of faces.

And that's really what it means to be me.

If Groot were here, I wouldn't need to buy a Christmas tree. Just let him sleep in the corner on Christmas Eve, grow some flowers, scare Santa saying "I am Groot". Wouldn't need lights, but we could give him some decoration. And Santa better not have anything Rocket wanted, or he'd end up in his own bag. Hey, anyone here from a world with an actual showing up meet him face-to-face St. Nick?

It's hard to believe we're heading into a holiday season and North isn't even here. Normally he'd be busy getting the toys ready for all the kids, checking and double-checking his lists, and shooing me away when I'd make it snow in his office. What do people do here without him around to bring gifts? It's not right.

The city always looks magical, though, with all the lights and decorations. That's still the same. I wish my sister could have seen this. She would have loved all of it.

ELSA:

Are you still mad Do you want to go ice skating?

ORORO MUNROE:

Hi. I don't have any questions about school this time. It's going well, by the way.

Say you made a mistake and hurt someone you liked. How do you fix it?

Congratulations to the winning teams! That was probably the most fun weekend I've had in a while.

It's no wonder that today seems to drag on forever. Not that my classes are boring, by any means. I'm just ready to be back at the room.

Did you all see that they're making Toy Story 4? As if the 3rd movie wasn't heartbreaking enough. I wonder what the odds are of any of them turning up here. I'd like to meet Jessie, she's my favorite. I should have dressed up as her for Halloween instead of going as myself. Oh well. Next year.

Now off to finish Genetics homework.

It's a little strange to think that if all goes according to plan, I'll be returning to school in January, after the Winter Break. There are, of course, certain goals that must be attained before then, but I'm entirely confident that the education I received before I was crowned will do me well, and that I will do credit to my tutors. Until then, I've decided to take some classes with the ESD, to help prepare me more fully for my upcoming foray into the world of modern education. I'd also like to choose a major before I enter into the world of university academia, although I'm told that it's perfectly acceptable to be "undecided".

I was fortunate to be able to walk through a neighborhood doing their trick-or-treating on my way to work on Halloween, and I counted at least four Elsas, and two Annas. I'm absolutely certain that they were much cuter than Anna and I ever were when we were children, and trust me when I say that we were completely adorable as children. I also saw an Olaf, and I think that I might have frightened the baby's mother when I squealed. But he really was too cute for words, so I think I was justified in my reaction.

We should have a conversation, Jack.

For a long time, I didn't get Halloween at all. We didn't have Halloween when I was growing up. I mean, we did, but it was different than what we see now, I guess. It wasn't as big. Or maybe I just didn't pay much attention to it. And then after I di I became I died, it mattered even less. A lot of things mattered less then. I used to watch kids get dressed up in costumes and go trick or treating, and trade candy with each other, and I'd watch them and try to get their attention, but no one ever saw me, so it just was one more thing that I hated.

I didn't get why everyone always wanted to dress up as something else, just for one night, to pretend to be someone else, to be special. And it's stupid, looking back, because I was just like that. I wanted to be anyone besides who I was and I pretended like it didn't hurt to be invisible or for people to pass me off like some sort of joke or to never belong anywhere, but I would've done anything to just be someone else. To fit in like everyone else.

So I get it now. And maybe it's not a snowstorm, but if it's fun... Well, that's kind of right up my alley.



I can't promise there won't be snow that night, though. Just fyi. Or maybe I'll wait for November. I mean, maybe the snow will wait. Right.

I am very confident that I am mastering the art of Google. I have discovered that there is a television show in which my sister and I are characters, but I have no recollection of any of those events happening, but perhaps I hadn't lived them yet?

But no, ( cut for spoilers ) And the Elsa in that program doesn't look anything like me. My blue gown is much, much prettier.

I finished the book this afternoon and I don't think I've been able to think coherently since. Did you say that there are more? It feels as if there should be more. And questions. I have so many questions and I don't know how to articulate them all, especially about quantam everything. I don't understand.

I feel the need for frozen yogurt. I've never had it and I just finished a book and the only thing I can actually think right now is that I need frozen yogurt. Will you come with me?

How do I go about enrolling in school here? I understand that there is a test I can take that will allow me to attend university, and I think I would like to do that.

Thank you to everyone who came to the small party Anna threw for me yesterday evening. It was truly wonderful meeting you all, and it eases those worries that seem to come along with learning to find your place in an entirely new world. I feel as if the only thing that will hold me back, for now, is the lack of a modern education. I'm, naturally, thoroughly educated by the standards of my time, but the truth is that there is so much more to learn and I don't really even know where to start.

I suppose the next lesson in my cultural education will be Halloween, which has a fascinating history, even though I am not familiar with the cultures that shaped it, from its earliest days to the present day. I do find it amusing that children are able to dress in costume and be rewarded for it -- but I wonder, what is the reward for adults? And how does one choose a costume and do so without offending any one culture -- that would be a terrible thing to do, and I wish to avoid it at all costs.

Hello, Ms. Munroe. I have been told that the last time I was here we had discussed my powers, and how you might be able to help me to better control them. If you are interested, I would be very interested in renewing this conversation. If it's not convenient for you, however, any suggestions you might have for someone who might be able to help me would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Despite having found my sister, and having everything I've been told corroborated by her, it still feels as if I've entered into a fantastical dream. I half hope I wake up at home, in my own bed in Arendelle, and will be telling Anna about this over breakfast.

Hello. I'm Elsa, and I was here before, although I don't really remember it. I'm told I had friends here before, and I do hope that those friendships can be rekindled.

Is it true that there was a story written about Anna and I, made into a... oh. Film. A film?

Ending up a century in the past wasn't how I was planning on getting out of that situation. It's also not something I thought was even remotely possible. I'm still not convinced this isn't some kind of fever dream or trick. Who's in charge here?

[ TRIS PRIOR: ]

My name is Clarke. I'm your new roommate. I hope they gave you some warning, at least, because I feel like I'm intruding. But for the most part I can keep out of your way.

Cassie is GONE! She's one of my best friends here and here so long but she's GONE!

I hate autumn How many other people here are the only ones from their world? Do you miss things you didn't think you'd miss until you didn't have it around anymore? People you knew? I even miss Bunnymund and he was really annoying. I just want to go back to being a Guardian. That's it. I can't do that from here. If North was here, he'd know exactly what to do.

ORORO MUNROE:

I don't think this school thing is for me.

Please, everyone, share your Halloween hopes and dreams with me. It's time to start planning.

I was really interested in checking out the free museum thing, but I kind of can't go around in public with a tail. I really don't want to be stuck with it, but I am until it heals up.

Anyone have any ideas for hiding it or camouflaging it? I can't curl it up much while it's broken and it would hang out of a coat :( Wish Kurt was here he'd totally get it! I better not get turned into an example in class

We have a week until classes resume, and though I know this is following a long weekend, I was wondering if everyone could clear Tuesday and Wednesday for discussion of our regents certification, syllabi, and policy changes as we transition from SHIELD's purview to that of Stark Charities.

I also think we should further develop the emergency schedule protocols. Finals have now twice been hampered by unforeseeable circumstances that most high schools do not confront.

A last point, if anyone knows anyone interested, we have last minute vacancies for Chemistry (4), Cooking (1), Linguistics (3), Magical Defense (3), and Swimming (1). However, no one is registered for Linguistics, Magical Defense, or Robotics, so it's not as pressing to get those filled.

We have a long weekend, and it has been some time since we have gone upstate. I was thinking about heading up to the mountains. It may be slightly busy, but I have faith that we can find a place remote enough to train. Or just make s'mores.

Is anyone else in?

If you have any last minute questions regarding your courses for the fall, I will be reachable by [Cell number] for the next few days, though it may be advisable to leave a message as I am uncertain of the reception situation.

However, I would also like to meet with each of you in a few weeks to discuss plans beyond simple education here, so keep that in the back of your mind, if you would.

TEXT TO ANNA:

-- ANNA! WE'RE GOING TO A CARNIVAL!
-- I'll be home very soon and then we can go. :)

TEXT TO JACK FROST:

-- I'm taking Anna to the carnival that's nearby today.
-- Do you want to come with us?

TEXT TO MARY MARGARET:

-- Hello! Would you and Neal like to go to the carnival with Anna and me (and maybe Jack)?
-- And maybe Emma would want to come, too?

So, uh. I've never had a job before. I actually never finished school. School wasn't really a big thing when I was a growing up, we would start working instead, but I never got that far. Sometimes I'd sit in on Jamie's classes, but they were really boring, so I never stuck around. And school was pointless for someone like me anyway. But here it's important, and jobs are important, and the only job I've ever had was Guardian, but that doesn't pay. I never needed money anyway, not for anything. So I could use some help? I can do magic and that's about it.

ELSA, ANNA & LISSA:

My friend Tooth is here. She wants to meet all my friends. You're all going to love her.
