I'm still around, but I would feel incredibly guilty if I was kept on after this round when I didn't submit anything.

I can't believe how this past week or so has played out. It really was out of my control, and I wish it could have been different.
All I can really say is that life got in the way. Crazy family/personal issues have been affecting me pretty much since I joined ATRL and I've done pretty much all I can to push forward and be happy but it seems though I can't do it anymore. Summer school started that Monday, church services/events that I have no choices but to go to (I'm a pastor's kid), as well as this internship I'm doing, so I haven't had any chances at all during the week to even use the Internet. I think I may need to take a break from ATRL altogether with everything's that been going on.
I feel so bad about leaving Marooner hanging, and not being able to do what I had to do because I know how much effort boyonce, and all the judges, put into this game (also considering the amount of people who quit). I am terribly sorry and I hope Marooner isn't penalized for my inability to be online.

4th Class: SCIENCE
Comments from the Faculty:
This week we welcome visiting professor Kitt to the Faculty!

CrazyCat & Blue: This entry was all about chemistry, and you two seem to have it! I loved how you hit it off in this thread, that was exactly what I had hoped would happen with this challenge. Your entry was well done, but I think it only skimmed the surface - ie, things you like. I could have done with some more in depth stuff like qualities you'd like to learn from each other. However, there's no denying you got to know each other well and hopefully made a new ATRL friend!
Marooner & Theo: Well, it's no secret that Theo didn't contribute much to this partner challenge, and he's got his reasons (I'm glad you came in here to explain yourself, thank you Theo). However, I salute Marooner for funnelling that situation into a funny and unique entry. Did it amuse me? Yes! Was it what the assignment asked for? No, not really. Marooner can't solely be blamed though, I think you did your best with the given situation. I think your entry shows resiliency, determination, and drive.
Barbie & Jad: Love this. It's like a school yearbook! Great content, great presentation. More than anyone, you guys did what was asked. I wish you talked more in the thread like CrazyCat and Blue did, so we could witness your friendship forming, but that's my only complaint.
Scene & Nicki Minaj: Same deal with Marooner, Nicki was more or less flying solo in this partner assignment. Same to you, kudos for coming up with something and not giving up when your partner wasn't around to help. I think that says a lot about your determination, and that's certainly a quality I would expect in a Charm School winner.

CrazyCat & Blue – Great job. I think you both seemed to really benefit from the challenge, and it looked like you really enjoyed it. I also think branding yourself as the Double D's (haha) makes you really stand out in this challenge. Creatively, I think you did as much as you could given the nature of the challenge. The formatting and avatars were a nice touch! Great work!
Theo & Marooner – I thought your entry was really creative and fun. I appreciate how you Marooner made a huge joke of the fact that Theo was not online thus really hindering your chances at doing well. You did great, and I really appreciate that. Of course it would have been better if we found out what you had in common versus an uncompleted dialogue but I suppose that's not your fault. Good work nonetheless!
Jad & Barbie – I thought your entry was really cute. It was as if you both were sitting next to one another pasting your favourite photos and writing in it. I especially love the (chemistry suxx) next to the title. I liked how you pointed out how you two were similar, and it showed us you really got to know one another. Wonderful!
NickiMinaj & Scene – So your entry was pretty subpar. I understand the situation you were in Nicki, and it seemed unfair, but I just felt like you could have tried to do something more to be creative. It just seemed like another promotional opportunity for NickiMinaj which if you recall, eliminated another contestant earlier on in the competition. Given what Marooner was able to pull without Theo's help, I think it isn't completely unreasonable to expect the same with you. In any case, you did submit something which is more than I can say for Scene.

Jad and Barbie: Perfect. No words, really. Yours was the most creative and showed the most cooperation.
Marooner and Theo: You made it work! Sorry that teamwork didn't work out for you, but you still came through and actually used it to your advantage. I usually hate that meme, but this was the first time I actually read one completely.
NICKI and Scene: Welp. At least Scene came forward and announced his mistake. You guys could have done something amazing.
Blue and CrazyCat: I'm not sure what to say, exactly. You guys communicated so well but the entry itself is not very creative.

CrazyCat & !Blue!: What a cute entry. I love the layout and how every avi posted had something to do with what you guys were talking about. As for the entry itself, I'm not too crazy about it. It felt really sugar coated. Maybe not, but you guys kept repeating the same thing over and over that by the time I finished reading everything I never wanted to read it again. I also felt that you guys didn't get to know each other beyond common interests. There was more talk about Rihanna and Pokemon than what the other partner's personality was like. It's not a bad entry, but I'm not extremely impressed with this one.
Marooner5 & Theo: Awww, this was so sad. I wish Theo could've finished the challenge because this was a neat idea. Even though you guys didn't meet for long, I could see a connection. The conversational topics may have been generic, but it seemed like every flowed easily and came off genuine. Overall, the idea and concept of this entry is what really saves it. And Marooner5, you did a really good job this round. If Theo ever gets around to reading this, he should know to thank you for saving this entry from bombing.
Nicki Minaj & TheSeenScene: First off, where is TheSeenScene's part of this entry? Did he just not decide to submit? Anyways, the entry itself is alright. I laughed at your jokes and I feel like you two really connected if we're just going off of what NickiMInaj said. There's more to getting to know somebody than just finding common interests. It's also about seeing what they like and even if you're not familiar with the topic, try your best to give it a chance. And it seems like things went well here when that happened. However, without TheSeenScene's part in this entry it does come off a bit lackluster.
Su-Barbie-A & Jad: AMAZING. I read this entry like 3 times, it was that good. I could see that you guys got to know each other really well even with the time zone differences. You talked about music, TV shows, interests, disinterests, pet peeves and more. Plus, the formatting was gorgeous. I'm always a sucker for good formatting, and it looks fantastic here. I love the middle-school theme and how it was like a diary/journal entry. I also really liked how Jad came to like drag queens even tho he wasn't crazy about them at first. It shows that he was willing to give Barbie's interests a chance and put forth energy to making a real friendship. Overall, really great job guys, I can't find any negatives. I could see the amount of effort put into this and it payed off.

I am so blown away by your scrapbook⁄school paper entry! You've definitely got an A+ from me in the creativity department. Something I noted: I really appreciated how SuBarbie's bright personality was portrayed in the design of the entry, yet I was still able to feel like I got to know Jad as a person as well. And as Jad stated, you two were in uncompromising time zones, yet were still able to pull off such an impressive entry all the while learn so much from each other. Great job, you two!
BLUE & CRAZYCAT
Aw, what a beautiful entry  I'm so happy to see that you guys hit it off so well and that this task not only allowed you to form another friendship, but to get out of your comfort zone and flex your social skills as well. The funny thing is that I realized that you two share a lot of the same loves as me as well (Rih, felines, daydreaming, traveling, meat)  You guys are welcome to my wall anytime to chat
MAROONER & THEO
Marooner, as I've said earlier, I'm proud of you for making the effort to still submit such a creative entry albeit theo being completely MIA. I wish I could give some sort of commentary for theo, and I hope he's okay, but it's a shame that he left so abruptly during this round, but kudos to you for still submitting something creative such as this. Everyone loves to read a comic and the classic meme faces were a brilliant touch and seemed to perfectly illustrate the situation very well
NICKI & SCENE
First off:
Quote:
We even shared pictures with each other.

NOW SCENE. How long have I known you and I've never gotten this privilege?
When I saw that you two were paired, I was excited to see the outcome of your interrogation potential newfound friendship. Yet like Marooner and Theo, you two didn't exactly get to finish your entry together as instructed. But unlike Marooner and Theo, one of ya'll were still active regularly and shared the same time zone  I didn't understand Scene's lack of effort considering his enthusiasm for Charm School and I got the feeling he was pulling an Adam ("too bored, so I'm going to leave"), but I definitely appreciated the sincere apology and explanation.
As for the entry itself, I loved that you used Ririfan's Nicki signature gif to conclude your entry  I also admire NICKI's Nicki collection and I know how passionate Scene can get about 2NE1 and other general pop music talk, so I'm glad to hear you two hit it off well and survived the stan talk unscathed.

@boyonce I didn't want to talk with Jad in this thread because I thought it would seem a bit too fake like "Let's prove them we are bff~" but I understand what you wanted from this.
