Early afternoon, Friday, 1st floor lobby

[soldtoarmenians]

Well, it's sort of Xander's common room now. In the way that it belongs to everybody, and most of his associations with it involve certain red-clad authority figures more than other students, and there's no kitchen. But anyway.

There's a kitchen in 121. He made brownies. Yes, from a box. They're on the table by the tv.

Which is playing a classic black&white First Mister episode of Mr. What, because it's a little late to try convincing anybody around here that he's not a geek.

With a purple frog. Who's watching from his tank on a conveniently-placed end table. Actually Jeremiah probably has the better view.

"Uh huh! I just graduated. I wa telling Parker yesterday that it was really cool even if it wasn't a whole lot of fun all the time but I wouldn't trade my experience in Harvard law for anything and now all I have to do is pass the bar and I'll be able to practice! Won't that be sweet?" she jabbered.

Rory stared. "You went to Harvard Law?" She shook her head. "I'm applying to Harvard in a few months, for their journalism program."

"Yeah." she nodded, "Harvard Law. Three years. I gave up an internship to come do summer camp here. I got my degree in fashion merchandising from CULA first, though. I don't know what it's like doing undergrad at Harvard, but from what I saw I'd think it's very serious." she said with a touch of disappointment.

"They accepted you for law school with a degree in fashion merchandising?" Rory asked, skeptical. "I didn't think they did that."

"Well, yeah." she said with a bright smile. "I scored high enough on my LSATs and I had a killer application video directed by a Coppola. It's not like it's hard" she said with a little roll of her eyes.

"...which Coppola? Sofia?" Rory asked.

"Uh huh. She's friends with Tori and I grew up across the street from her so Mr. Spelling called Mr. Coppola and asked if Sophie'd wanna do it and my dad did something for all them. I don't know. It was a great time though. Do you know Sophie?"

"I know her work," Rory said with a small smile. "Maybe I should get my friend to do an application video for me when she gets back."

"That would be cool, but the best advice I can give you is play to your strengths. That's what every single person who's there will tell you. They like diversity, so do something to stand out."

"Thanks," Rory said, frowning. "I've only wanted to go there since I was, um, four."

"For real? I didn't even really know about it until I met Warner." Elle said brightly. "I'm super glad I went. I'm, like, a lawyer!"
