A/N: Okay. Well. As of late, I'm too swamped with life to write as much as I want to – and while that kills me, this year matters. Thus, I've come to the conclusion that you can expect an update every weekend; because unless there's some miracle brewing in my epic suburb, I'm not finishing anything in less than a week.

So...yeah. An update per week. And I swear it won't be anything more than that.

This chapter should make you guys happy though. I'm excited. I hope you like it!

Morning Check:

Not good this morning. I was up late yesterday doing a positive avalanche of homework and went to sleep at about two in the morning. Needless to say, my seven o'clock alarm clock was well ignored. The only reason I went to class today at all was because Livvy, by chance, dropped into my dorm to find me asleep. Better luck tomorrow, I guess...

Hey, Lils – Martin Cabenza told me this morning that cows have hair. Is that true? –A

That's really random. Why do you care, Alice? –L

Because it got me thinking...is it hair, or is it fur? –A

It's hair. –L

It's totally fur! Humans have hair. –A

Well, a lot of other animals have hair too. –L

Name one. –A

Um...I dunno off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are some... -L

It's totally fur. –A

No, it's not! Martin Cabenza was right, it's hair. –L

I refuse to believe that. –A

Remind me why this is my problem...? –L

I say we ask Livvy! –A

Sure. Go ahead. But she's going to agree with me. –L

Livvy – do cows have hair or fur? –A

Erm...I don't know. –O

You should totally know! Lily says it's hair, but I say it's fur. –A

It's hair! I mean, if you touch a cow, their hides have really fine hairs on them, which makes them softer. –L

It's kind of stubbly, so it has to be fur. –A

Hmmm. It's a difficult question, but I think it's hair, Alice. Lily and Martin Cabenza are right. –O

It's a conspiracy, I tell you! It's FUR! –A

Stop being an idiot, Alice. It's not fur. –L

I'm not an idiot. –A

That's a matter of opinion. Just saying. –O

You guys are awful. I'm going to go ask Frank after class and see what he thinks. I'm sure he's going to think it's fur, because IT IS. –A

Whatever you say, Alice. –L

Good luck with that, Alice. –O

YOU SHALL ALL BE PROVEN WRONG IN TWENTY FOUR MINUTES. –A
