Newspaper Meeting, Friday after classes, Journalism room [4/2]

Hoshi brought in homemade Peepshi today, plus some strawberry daifuku in case anyone didn't like Peeps.

"Obviously, last week's meeting wasn't exactly productive, considering that the fog and the monsters made it tough to actually get here," said Hoshi. "So it's time to figure out what we're all going to be writing about next week. And just as a head's up, we have about 3 issues left before graduation by my count. So if there's anything you've been waiting to write about, now's the time."

Which brought her attention back to the collection of envelopes from colleges that she'd put off opening. And she still wasn't ready to open them, so she bit into one of the marshmallow Peeps.

Hungrily!

Joan Girardi

Someone needs to get on Hoshi's case about those envelopes.

Joan pouted at Hoshi. "Why did you have to remind me how close we are to graduation?"

"Because I need someone to freak out with me," said Hoshi. "I still have no idea what to do after leaving Fandom."

"Seriously? I thought I was the only one who was still clueless," Joan said.

"I may be more lost than you," said Hoshi. "I applied to a whole bunch of colleges with no idea where I should go. At least a few of them wrote back to me."

"Oooh, did they accept you?" Joan asked.

"I don't know yet," said Hoshi, cringing. If they didn't accept her, she didn't want to know.

"Hoshi!"

"Well, what if they only wrote to me to say that I was an idiot for even thinking I could go there?" asked Hoshi.

Joan rolled her eyes. "And what if they wrote to you saying that they love you and can't wait to have you as a student but, gee, you need to get this paperwork in by April first?"

"Then it wasn't meant to be?" suggested Hoshi.

"Give me the letters," Joan said.

Hoshi sighed and grabbed two envelopes from her backpack, as well as a data PADD. "One of them is an e-mail," she explained as she handed them over.

Joan opened the letters first and read them both thoroughly before setting them face down on the nearby desk.

Then she took the data PADD and read through the email.

When she was finished, she smirked at Hoshi.

"Well, what is is?" asked Hoshi. "It's bad, right? They probably took one look at my school transcript and laughed! I never should have taken that Food Appreciation class, even if I did get an A."

"It's not bad at all," Joan said with a grin. "You got accepted to the University of the Amazon and wait-listed at Berkeley. Oxford's a dumb school anyway."

"I figured Oxford was a long shot anyway," said Hoshi, smiling. "But University of the Amazon would be really good! It's in my world, but since they're a newer school, they don't have dorms yet. So I could basically live anywhere I want and commute by portal."

Joan tilted her head at that. "I really don't think I want to move back home. I was thinking about taking some classes at a community college somewhere and they don't have dorms either. Maybe we could get a place?"

But she'll change the subject by suggesting that you write about it for next week.

"I was thinking about writing some kind of review. Maybe of a movie or a tv show?" Ellie said. "Just to try something different."

"Different is good," said Hoshi, nodding in approval. "You might want to do a review of that Rumor Gal show. I hear it's pretty popular."

Really, who else knew about Hoshi's obsession with the show other than Raven?

Ellie nodded. "I've heard that, too. I could probably write a review of it. I'll have to borrow some dvds and check it out."

"You, uh, won't have to go very far to borrow them," said Hoshi, looking a bit sheepish. She grabbed her bag and rifled through it for a moment, finally pulling out a large data PADD. "I have every episode that's aired so far on here."

"All on there?" Ellie looked impressed. "Wow, you must like that show a lot."

Hoshi shrugged. "It's kind of amusing, and I'm usually free on Monday nights. Plus I started watching in the middle and had to get the previous episodes to catch up."

"Well, I will need to get caught up, too," Ellie told her. "So I might go with something else this week and save Rumor Gal for another week."

"Whatever you end up doing, I look forward to reading your review," said Hoshi with a smile.

"I'm kind of burned out on the faculty profiles," Joan said. "But I'm not sure what else I want to write."

"Not to mention that you covered all the new teachers this semester," said Hoshi. "Do you still want to cover something school-related?"

"Sure, it doesn't really matter to me," Joan said. "Next Friday is prom, so I could try to write something about that maybe?"

"Prom?" repeated Hoshi with a look of surprise. "I totally forgot about it. Sure, that would be good for an article. Yikes, I'm going to have to find a date, right?"

"Not necessarily," Joan said. "I'm not even sure if I'll have one. Liir had to go home and take care of some things and I don't know when he'll be back."

"That's true. I didn't have a date for Valentine's Day," said Hoshi. "Though somehow, I ended up spending the whole night with Hurley, since he was dateless."

"Maybe you could go to prom with him," Joan suggested.

"I guess so," said Hoshi. "I mean, we do seem to enjoy spending time together."

When she pings in.

Ghanima was indeed there.

One day, I will manage to get back on a regular sleep schedule. But that day is not today.
