Rory explains her multi-tiered studying system. She's got each book laid out in front of her, so that when she needs a break from one subject, she can effortlessly move on to the next. Lorelai says that Rory's pushing herself too hard. Rory shows Lorelai her schedule, which accounts for every single moment of time she has until graduation. Lorelai points out that Rory forgot to schedule the Kiwanis luncheon on Monday. Apparently, Rory won a $250 scholarship from them (Lorelai: "That'll keep you in microwave popcorn for a week"), and she has to attend the awards luncheon. Rory tells Lorelai that Emily wants help picking out a dress for graduation. "No," Lorelai says. Rory says she has to go. Lorelai says that Emily has been dressing herself for years and has yet to show up to a function with her bra on the outside of her clothing. If Rory is this overworked, she doesn't need to schedule in time to play costumer to her grandmother. Lorelai makes a joke about koala bears and Rory asks Lorelai to stop making fun of the Kiwanis people because she needs every cent she can get: "Yale is expensive!" Over Rory's shoulder we see Luke in the back door window trying to get Lorelai's attention. As Rory babbles on about how they need to hear from Yale financial aid soon so they can put down the deposit on her dorm room (she's not living at home?), Luke plays a quick game of charades, showing that he'd like to talk to Lorelai, but he doesn't want Rory to know that he's there. Lorelai says she needs to go and get the paper. Rory warns Lorelai not to bring the paper near her, because she doesn't have any unscheduled recreational reading time. Lorelai tells Rory to move her "chill session" from 4 tomorrow afternoon to right about now.
