Good, all of that makes me feel better. Alas, I am. My mum and dad would never let me not call them mum and dad. I think I called my Dad “Daniel” and my mum “Heather” once, and I had to do dishes for a week.

It should. No, you shouldn't be, my parents they're uh-- well let's not get started. See, that's the sort of thing I always expected because that's what all my friends talked about. I don't think I ever did a chore in my life unless it was for my Bubbie.

I mean, it’s a little dangerous. But it’s a fun way to improve flexibility and stay in shape. But, you know- whatever floats your boat. I love it.

Yeah, I get that. I'm a dancer so I don't have to worry about that. Have you ever done hot yoga?

Nah, I’m okay.. just a little stressed. Nothing to be alarmed with. Thank you though, for the concern. It’s appreciated.

Finals? School? It's no problem at all, you looked like you could use a friend.

All I need is for you to sit right here by me, and for Marv and Tchaikovsky to sit right here, and I’ll feel loads better. Ah, I see. That’s fairly unconventional, but cool and I’m slightly jealous. 

You've definitely got that. And Marv and Tchaikovsky, of course, you know they like to make you feel better. Hm, no, there's nothing cool about that. Don't be jealous at all.

Depends on how good you are. But yeah, you can get pretty high. She wasn’t that high though, but high enough to fly for a little bit.

I've never done anything like that. Heights aren't my thing, now that I know you can fall, I don't see myself ever doing it.

You’d think they’d be used to it by now, hm? June could not come sooner, if you ask me. I’m ready for a week off, again. And Ashley is..? Well.. I’ve got an interview on Thursday, and that should mean something, right?

Do you want a massage? Some tea? Glass of wine. Hm-- Ashley-- oh that's uh that's my dad. They're not big fans of the word mom and dad. Ashley and Parker. 

I have no one to go with! So I don’t want to look like a loser on the beech drinking beer by myself.

You don't need someone to go with you on the beach though. And even then, just ask a group of people to go with you.

Tell that to my aching bones and graying hair, Hally. I took my last final today, so that eliminates one. I did hear back from the Zoo, though, and perhaps that is what is causing my premature hair loss.

Aching bones means you're working too much. And Ashley's had gray hair since he was twenty. What-- what does that mean?

I think so. She got back up pretty quick, probably from embarrassment.

That sounds terrible. I think I would have been pretty embarrassed too. Do you get pretty high up in aerial yoga?

I think I’m starting to lose hair, and it’s either from old age, finals, or work. I’m not quite sure which one, though.

You're not old. I'm willing to bet it's the other two.

The beach sounds so nice right now, I can just hear her calling my name.

Why don't you go?

Today in my aerial classes this girl didn’t have a good grip on her ropes and plummeted to the ground. Am I a bad person for laughing?

That sounds awful. Was she alright?

Uh yeah, I’ll be okay. Thanks.

Oh. Alright, you looked like you needed some help. You don't, do you?

Are you alright?

Unfortunately, everyone gets judged for one thing or another, no one likes it. It's a matter of you know, not letting it get to you.

Right, yo-- I'm planning on it. It just has to be a certain someone. Not too many people I trust with needles around my skin.
