Study session at my apartment.
While it's absolutely undeniable that the last month has been full of diversions and distractions, and navigating that minefield has ranged from exciting to frankly terrifying, it's inescapable that no event, however dramatic, can truly derail the pre-ordained course of events for student life. And the nature of that truth, however distasteful, must be accepted with as much alacrity as the Greeks gave to the proclamations of the oracle at Delphi -- there are some instructions, no matter how banal or irrelevant they seem, that must be enacted immediately, or they're sure to have a detrimental effect upon your ultimate fate.
Putting matters a different way -- unless I achieve truly outstanding grades on my November exams, I'll be put on academic probation and suspended from all participation in extracurricular activities.
Since the consequences of that are truly unthinkable, I've decided to convene an emergency study summit at my apartment, effective immediately after school lets out for the day. I suspect I'm not the only one in this situation, and that, like certain historical world leaders, it would be to our great benefit and mutual interest to co-ordinate our agendas immediately.
If someone else can bring the snacks, I can assure you that we won't run out of tea or soda for the duration.
