BH’s Lady Whistledown Society Papers #2

Dearest citizens of East Campus,

We come to you today alongside the season of change: course selection. As one begins to define what kind of socialized individual they should become. Pray tell me young readers, what are your deepest desires? To be rich? To be happy? To be famed? Only the course arrangement will tell.

Dearest readers, it is a well-known fact that this author has a flair for the dramatic. Your course selections certainly shall not dictate the fate of your remaining years at this esteemed institute, but they will, however, determine your happiness level.  And it is with this statement that we suggest you choose your fate (courses) with much caution.

In the tapestry of our intentions, dear readers, one must decipher the subtle nuances of the notion we endeavour to convey.  To achieve success within the inner walls of Branksome Hall, one must select the courses that they think will make them the happiest. This author has tips for not only surviving but thriving. 

We cannot help but wonder, dear reader, who does a double science student become? Someone of pure heart, strong bone structure, and a love of none other than Sir himself: his royal highness Tran Chiem of LBIO. 

Trust me, studying literature is not a challenge for the faint-hearted. It requires a true passion for this soft tangling of verbs, nouns and prepositions. True passion is what one must, must, must, I imply thrice over, the importance of finding success within your courses. If you are taking courses simply for the happiness of those who will handle your dowry (well not actually, your guardians), then we foresee only struggle, challenge, and unhappiness in the not-so-distant future.

The hallowed Halls of this institution have their own language, and lucky for you, this author speaks it.  So may I suggest to you to talk not only to your friends and peers but also to the very being of the University Counselling Hallway.  It will provide you with the lore required to find the university of your desires. 

But dearest reader, the people we have provided can only grant you so much information.  To understand the true intricacies of the DP courses, one must converse with those only known as the DP Ghosts. One may wonder what a DP Ghost is. A DP Ghost, my dear reader is a teacher who hides in the halls of those precious final years of education. While nearly impossible to track down, few will receive better advice than from these esteemed educators. Jarrod Baker, Julia White, Sophie Tsonis, Trevor Ritchie, and Graham Porter, to name a few. OH deary me, how could we forget Sir Tran Chiem, the ruler of all? Only he is entrusted with the keys, to not only your learning but your biology grades, and now chemistry as well. I suggest that you write some jokes and watch your mouth. I have heard rumours that he appreciates science nerds, such as the Student Government Prefect herself, Anna James Gage®.
