239/240: Studying omg!

[notcalledlizzie]

Elizabeth figured that she was probably going to have to apologize to her roommates.

Considering that her notes had somehow taken over the room.

There was Medieval English history there and US Government thataway and psych was somewhere in that direction.

Not to mention everything she was ever going to need for the political campaigning presention, which she was currently reviewing. Again

At least they were colorful notes?

Janet let herself in and then stared at the chaos. "Do I have somewhere I can sleep?" she asked, after looking around for a minute. Her bed seemed kind of buried.

OOC: Not going to a major post when the computer access can be yanked at any second. Oh, no, definitely not.

Elizabeth looked up guiltily. "Oops," she said, glancing around the room. "Um. I think we can find somewhere."

She bit her lip, trying to figure out which notes were best to be moved at this time.


[[ooc: *pats*]]

Janet grinned. "Somewhere would be good," she said. "I have a first period tomorrow." She looked around, then finally hung her backpack on the knob to her closet door. "Some of us keep our notes in binders instead."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth pointed at the pile of empty binders on the desk and shrugged sheepishly. "I'm just trying to make sure everything's organized so when I come down to studying in a panic everything's there and I'm not running to the library or flailing about that one missing page."

She moved across to Janet's bed, and carefully began to sort the pages there.

"It looks to me like you're already panicking," said Janet, looking around the room. "On the other hand, you're also far more organized than I am, apparently. And you're right, no flailing during finals week."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"I'm not panicking. You'll know when I'm panicking," Elizabeth nodded. "I like to be organized. And I don't like flailing!"

[janet_fraiser]

"Okay, okay, you're not panicking!" exclaimed Janet, going to sit on an empty corner of her bed. "Are you overreacting, then?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"No. Possibly. Yes," Elizabeth admitted.

[janet_fraiser]

"Liz, it's only finals," said Janet. "And only high school. I'm positive you'll pass with flying colors."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"I know, I know," Elizabeth sighed, dropping down on the bed next to Janet, still clutching a handful of notes. "I just want to make sure that nothing's going to go wrong." She glanced back at the bed and smiled. "At least your bed's cleared now."

[janet_fraiser]

"Either nothing will go wrong, or something you didn't prepare for will go wrong," said Janet. She shook her head. "That's how this sort of thing always seems to work. And yes, thank you! Now I don't have to worry about accidentally causing you a failing grade by losing your notes in my sleep."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth nodded. "But no one can say I didn't prepare and that's the most important thing," she said firmly. Her eyes widened, and she pressed the hand not holding notes to her heart. "Janet, don't scare me like that, please."

[janet_fraiser]

"No one will ever say you didn't prepare, Liz," said Janet. She glanced around at the room. "You should clear Marty's bed off too." And then she giggled. "You'll be fine! As long as you don't sleepwalk and reorganize your notes."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth nodded, and looked at Marty's bed. "That's my political campaiging presentation," she said. "That can go away ready for tomorrow." She stood up, placed the notes she'd collected somewhere on her own bed, and rearranged her presentation back in it's folder.

[janet_fraiser]

"So are you going to relax some time tonight?" asked Janet. "Or are you going to just stress over school for the next week and a half?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth bit her lip, and looked down at her notes and then across at Janet. "Is this your way of telling me that I should calm down and relax tonight?"

[janet_fraiser]

"It's just a suggestion," said Janet reassuringly. "I'd like to think it's a good one."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth thought for a moment. "Well, everything that needs to be written is written, and I don't have my government exam until Friday..." She was about to drop down on her bed, before remembering that it was still covered in notes and straightened up again. "So I guess I could take some time tonight."

[janet_fraiser]

"Come sit down over here," said Janet, patting a spot on her bed. "You're going to ace all your classes; I don't know why you're worried."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth left the folder and notes and dropped down in the spot indicated. "I get worked up before exams," she said. "Always have done, and, with the way this is going? Probably always will."

[janet_fraiser]

"Focusing on them is fine," said Janet. She smiled gently. "But do you want me to start going into the many ways too much stress is bad for you? You are allowed to take a break, you know."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth nodded, and shuffled slightly so she could lay her head on Janet's shoulder. "This is a whole lot stressful than other things in my life though," she pointed out.

[janet_fraiser]

OOC: A whole lot less or a whole lot more?

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth nodded, and shuffled slightly so she could lay her head on Janet's shoulder. "This is a whole lot less stressful than other things in my life though," she pointed out.


[[ooc: *headdesks* That's why I went straight to bed then!]]

[janet_fraiser]

"That terrifies me," said Janet, putting her arm around Liz. "What else do you have going on that's more stressful?"
