It won't be much longer now till I'm back in Temair. Sometimes I just can't believe how fast time has flown by, especially now that I'm trying desperately to study and remember everything I've learned so I can write my exams. I will have to try and convince Luke to help me with that because I feel certain that there is so much I am forgetting. Though it could just be nerves~ Tests always make me nervous.

At least the weather has been perfect for travel, with the sun shining down and making the whole world glow. The countryside is just pretty as a picture in the morning. And in the afternoon and evening too.

I knew it would be hard being back and seeing him again but I didn't think it would be this difficult. Especially now with the wedding over, it seems to be all I can think about.

~~What if I was wrong?~~

No. I love being at the university, it is everything I dreamed of and more. And who knows, maybe after I graduate ... but it's not fair to ask him to wait when I can't promise anything.

As much as I have loved being in Eblar and seeing my family again and being here for that wonderful, perfect wedding, I know I need to make plans to return to school soon. I don't want my professors to think I was abusing the leniency they showed me. And I did promise to help Luke with his summer research as well.

It will be so hard to leave everyone here again though.

It's too bad the roads are so muddy this time of year, it makes it too dangerous to look too far outside the carriage windows. At least there have been some nice, sunny days too but mostly just grey and raining so far for my trip. But I suppose that's what you expect in spring, after all, and rain does make the flowers start to grow.

It still feels strange to be going back to Eblar so soon. Not strange in a bad way but still, it's a little weird.

Dearest darling sister, have you seen Lord Lachlan of Allba at all while you've been there?

When I come back, I am going to need to try and be friendlier with the other students here, even if not many of them will be here for the summer. I've been so focused on classes and Luke's work and Anita's wedding that I really haven't had time for making friends. And well, it is a bit awkward, knowing that I'm hiding things from everyone. But if we really do become friends, I'm sure they'll understand.

I still sometimes can't quite believe how easy it has been here though. All those times Father thought I wouldn't be able to last. I'll have to tell him just how wrong he was when I see him.

Anita! I just talked to the headmaster of the university and he says we can definitely figure out some arrangement so that I will be able to be there for your wedding without missing anything important. I was a bit worried, since the end of April is when exams are held of course, but I was really hoping it would be find for me to just take them in the summer. Oh, I didn't mention before that Luke had asked if I might want to stay in the summer, to help with some of his research. It was tough to decide since I do miss everyone back home but it really is quite an amazing opportunity. And now a necessary one, for me to finish my classes.

It will be hard to concentrate on them though, since I keep imagining what the wedding will be like. It is just the most exciting thing in the world, isn't it?

Hello everyone. I'm writing in my book right now so that Luke can see it work. Luke was my magic tutor when I was younger and he's the one who suggested coming to the university, even when no one else thought I should. He's been studying magical theory here so I thought he'd enjoying taking a look at the journal, maybe he'll even figure out how they work.

So if someone could reply to me it would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Has it really already been a week since I arrived? I can hardly even believe it! The university is everything I ever dreamed it would and more.

I was a bit worried at first that someone might recognize who I was right away but no one has. I'm telling everyone that my name is Elle, since it's close enough to my real name that I should pay attention when they're talking to me. And, of course, I have a whole new set of clothes that are something that a regular scholar would wear. I miss some of my old gowns and jewels but I definitely think the sacrifice is worth it. I just want to be like everyone else.

And I'm learning so much too. It's so much better than lessons back home because here everyone knows so much. And one day, I will too. I've met some really smart and amazing people. And I've been able to see Luke, my old tutor, as well though not very much since we're both so busy.

It's just so amazing. It's the best thing ever, absolutely the best!

We're finally hear, Lady Eliza. The weather on the roads wasn't very good so we had to go slower but I only missed three days' worth of classes, so hopefully I can catch up. I do so wish I had been hear earlier though, so I could meet my fellow students before everyone got tied up with their lessons. But it is still early in the term so hopefully there will be time for socializing.

I did that like Lady Felicia said. I hope it works alright. Can anyone read this?

[pause]

Good.

I'm so nervous about tomorrow. Excited and nervous. What's it going to be like? Will anyone figure out who I actually am? I really hope not. I just want to be like everyone else here. I just want to learn.

Father still probably thinks this is just a whim, that I'll be on my way home in a month or less. But he's wrong. This is what I really want to do, what I've always been meant to do.

... Sometimes I feel bad, reading about what's happening in Korin and being all excited about my own life. But it's not my fault there's a war. And besides, all the great Lords wouldn't let us lose. And one of the things they are fighting for is for everyone else to be able to live freely and that's just what I'm doing.

I still feel guilty sometimes though.

Anyway, I can't let it get me down, at least not right now. Tomorrow is the biggest day of my life. I've already got all my books ready and my dress picked out too. Everything's ready.

Oh my goodness! What has happened to my new schoolbook? I know I haven't written anything in it yet, since I haven't quite arrived at Temair. I still can't quite believe that I'm on my way there now, that Father actually agreed to let me go. It's just the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me.

But that wasn't what I was talking about. What is all this writing.

Wait. I remember hearing about something like this. Something about books with magical writing in them. Many of the other nobles have them, or so I have been told. I would have never dreamed that it would happen to me though. Is that what this is? Oh, I do hope so. That would be almost as exciting as getting to attend the university.
