April 8th, 1983
I've got mixed feelings about being home, I think.
I mean sure, being back in my own room is nice and having Mum's cooking every night (I think I'm still full from Easter dinner yesterday even without eating the meat) and seeing some of my neighbourhood friends... I don't even mind babysitting or having a parade of family members come in and out since I usually hole up in my room. Since Bridget is hardly ever here, I've got lots of space and whatnot. I'm still jealous she got to go to the Bats/Portree match. No bloke troubles, either.
But I like school. I like what the structure of the day gives me. I like reading and learning and even revision (some of the time) and essays (when they're relevant). But most of all, I miss Quidditch! I've played a little with Bridget and Kieran since we've been home, but it's just not the same as what I get at Hogwarts. And it's only a couple of more months and then we're free until the summer, anyway. There's a Hogsmeade weekend on Saturday, too, I just remembered. That might be fun.
Either way, I hope everyone's had/is having a good hols.
