It had taken Tatum most of the day to decide how she was going to spend it. She had woken up pretty late, and just laid in bed for quite some time, staring at the ceiling and debating whether it was even worth it to get up at all. She felt pretty exhausted, staying up late to play Starcraft with Shelby the night before, but she supposed that lazing around in bed wasn't going to solve the problem.

Once she dragged herself from the mattress, making her way over to her desk where there was half of an unfinished can of Monster sitting by the laptop. It was really warm, at least ten hours old now and sitting out the whole night long, but it did the trick. She chugged most of it in a single go, and then headed off to the showers, returning not long after. Taking extended showers had never been her idea of a good time. She hated community bathrooms, and it was only this year that she had begun being able to go in there when other girls were there. She had spent previous years waiting patiently until it was totally empty before she could even sneak off to pee.

Getting herself ready for the day, she had her guitar hanging from her shoulder by it's strap as she left the Sonnier dormitories. She was puffing away almost as soon as she got outside, and by the time she spotted Rowan, she was nearly done. She felt a little blazed, and she was glad to see her friend. It would be much less lonely spending time with her, and-- well, she'd be damned, it looked like Rowan had her guitar out. Tatum remembered hearing about it over break, but this was the first time she had actually seen the other girl play. And, squinting briefly at it, was that a Pumpkins songbook?

Rowan was most definitely on the right path to success, Tatum couldn't help but grin.

Taking two quick last puffs from what was left held between her fingers, Tatum pitched the roach aside onto the ground, and began to pick up her pace toward Rowan. "Hey, can you play Porcelina of the Vast Oceans yet?" she called, still grinning.
