STUCO REPORT
by Peter Parker

This week's Student Council meeting boiled down to one word: PROM. Taking place on April 14, it is just under two months away. The discussion focused on the theme of the dance. Sadly, Mimes of the World doesn't seem to be a frontrunner.

Stay tuned to this column for prom updates.

Study Techniques part 2
By Liz Sherman

We’re well and truly over the halfway point in the spring semester and many of you would have completed some sort of midterm for at least one, if not all of your classes. Since we’ve now got finals approaching I thought it would be helpful to give more useful study techniques.

5. Have a proper balance between study and other activities that you may take part in
6. Be organized and have all the things that you need to have a productive study session.
7. Make sure that you are taking enough sufficient notes in class to help you study
8. It can also be helpful to color code the notes that you have taken

And hopefully these points will help in the lead up preparation and remember that it is important to have a study program that is beneficial and will work effectively for you.

STUDENTS: TERROR OR MENACE?
by Peter Parker

One thing I've noticed since I've been in Fandom is that my fellow students are, on the whole, a menace to the rest of the school and perhaps the world in general. We sit in classes, demanding that teachers tell us things that we don't know. We go to the library and disturb the books because we want to use them for a project or just because we're bored. The books didn't volunteer to be violated in this way, we just think we can do it because we have library cards.

We even have a large building on campus dedicated solely to housing students. Take a moment to think of the other uses for a building this size. How many teal deer do you think we could fit in the dorms so they don't have to worry about natural dangers or hunters? Why should we get cushy dorm rooms when there are mimes out there who live in boxes? IMAGINARY boxes.

The way I see it, we have three options: flunk everyone and disperse them so that they are no longer a threat, graduate everyone early and disperse them so that they are no longer a threat, or ignore this column and flirt with the danger that the students might destroy all life on Earth. The choice is yours, Fandom High.

LEARN TO SPEAK AL BHED
by Rikku

Hello again from your friendly neighborhood Al Bhed (that's me). I kinda miss getting to speak Al Bhed, so if you see me this week, why not try out some of these phrases? You never know what could happen! It would totally make my week, really! Please?

Hello! I appear to be speaking Al Bhed!
Rammu! E ybbayn du pa cbaygehk Al Bhed!

Excuse me, sir, but I think your pants are on fire.
Aqlica sa, cen, pid E drehg ouin byhdc yna uh vena.

I wish the penguins could have stayed.
E fecr dra bahkiehc luimt ryja cdyoat.

I did not know that I was a hockey fan.
E tet hud ghuf dryd E fyc y rulgao vyh.

You have a very interesting nose, Father.
Oui ryja y jano ehdanacdehk huca, Vydran.

There you have it! It's just as easy as that! Except pronouncing things, but it's not that hard, honest! Sound it out and go from there! Caa oui haqd desa! (See you next time!)

Okay! This is Rikku again, because Alanna isn't a statue any more (YAY!) but she's kinda recovering so I guess I'm on my own again? But it's okay because I'm sure I can figure something out, right? Right! And next week Alanna will be here to actually do this right. At least, I hope so.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Today you're gonna see a cute guy that you kind of like. Unless you're a guy, in which case I mean cute girl. Unless you like guys, which is okay too. But anyway, a cute person that you're interested in. Tell them, maybe they're interested too! Unless you're seeing someone already, because that's just wrong.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
You're worried about how you're doing in school, but it's not as bad as you think, honest! Try studying more and you'll be doing better in no time. (If you're living in town, then you should pretend this one totally talked about your job.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 21):
Oh, I've got this one! Okay, one Gemini will, this week, have to make up a bunch of horoscopes and not do it very well. And another Gemini will spend the week catching up on stuff she missed while she was a statue. All the rest of you Geminis will have to wait until next week.

CANCER (June 22-July 22):
So, you're gonna meet a guy today and he's gonna have a dog. It's a nice dog. You should pet it, it's friendly. Aren't dogs neat?

LEO (July 23-August 22):
You should totally do something nice for your roomie today! Get them some donuts from downtown or something like that. Surprise them! And hey, if your roomie is a Leo too, then you have even more donuts!

VIRGO (August 23-September 22):
You're really worried about money, but then you find some change under your dresser. Hooray! I say you go downtown and spend that money on something. Buying something always cheers me up.

LIBRA (September 23-October 22):
You're really bored. So bored that you don't read horoscopes this week. So that means I don't have to make this one up!

SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21):
You should write to your family. They miss you. Or call them, if they have phones. Make sure your siblings aren't getting into trouble or anything, if you have them and if they aren't here already.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21):
You also meet a guy with a dog. It's totally a different guy than the one that the Cancer people meet, cause his dog is bigger. And meaner. Maybe you shouldn't pet it.

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19):
You feel like you can do anything! Isn't that great? Go out and do things! Put a cheerful spin on things! Make your own luck! Go for it!

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18):
Today is a good day for ice cream. Go get some. Pick a fun flavor. Something bright and cheerful. Maybe mix a few together. Live a little!

PISCES (February 19-March 20):
Pisces ends on March 20th, and that was yesterday. So you just had a birthday! Happy birthday! I hope you got some nice stuff! Sorry I didn't get you anything. Hey, if your roommate's a Leo, you might get some donuts! That's something, right?
