I seem to be a bit under the weather. [Thanks, Rick.] I suppose due to that and some other things on my mind, I've not felt a great desire to speak up.

How do you fill in things that you're unsure of how to complete? A lot of my lifestyle back home did not provide me preparation for many of the things I've come across here, so most experiences tend to be foreign.

Some would say to read, which I've done plenty of, but I think it doesn't do me much for distracting myself. The weather is too cold to spend much time outdoors, maybe, but it could be colder. I thought about practising with my new bow, but perhaps what I could really use is an old-fashioned sword-to-sword spar.

This is an academy for such things, after all. I do suppose that's an invitation, if there ever was one.

On Monday morning at 9am, when students are in classes, a chime goes off.

A familiar chime to any student from Hope's Peak Academy.

The voice everyone expects does not appear afterward, however. That is, perhaps, the only good thing to come from this.
