Second Floor Common Room, Wednesday Morning

[arsenicmauls]

There were still quite a few hours before the Jewish New Year really started, and besides that, Gert's interest in religion was super minimal, but somehow all the same, she found herself spending her morning on the couch in the common room, typing up a list of New Year's resolutions.

Gert wasn't a big believer in acting a certain way just because of a holiday, but the start of a new school year had always seemed like an ideal time to make new promises to herself and at least set a few goals. The holiday was just an excuse to do it. On the table beside Gert sat a plate of apple slices around a glob of honey in the center -- that wasn't a holiday thing so much as apples and honey just being delicious.

The first few resolutions were easy. Help some people. Check in with Nico, Kar and Molly more. After a long moment, she typed Look into colleges, though she deleted it and rewrote it about four times before she ultimately decided to leave it in.

Her first attempt at number four was Learn how to fight, but that one she did delete.

This was turning into a project.

"Sure," Bay said, snatching up the treat. "I'm taking live performance and literature. They're both tomorrow. What did you take this time around?"

"Teamwork and current affairs," Gert replied. "Monday and Thursday. Still not exactly what I'd call a packed schedule, but yours is worse. Maybe start making a lot of mainland trips?"

"I might," Bay mused. "I hear Baltimore has this great museum of outsider art and it's getting a little sad I haven't made it there yet."

"Hey, that sounds right up your alley," Gert noted. "I'd go with you to that. I've only ever seen your work and some random street art back in LA, but my old neighborhood wasn't exactly overflowing with it."

"That is an excellent idea," Bay nodded. "Wanna go Friday, or should we wait for next week?"
