Oh man, last night was something else. My first day of classes was... not as awesome as I'd imagined. Some of these students are little monsters. On the bright side, I found a few students with genuine gifts. I am thinking of starting some kind of advanced class to be held once a week after regular classes, either before or after dinner. These kids have no idea what kind of power they have, or how to deal with it and they need to learn how to control it. I feel it is very important they learn. Merlin knows I've had experience with that. If no one has any objections, I'd be teaching them things like Occlumency and other mental power control. Mostly defensive things. No way am I teaching Legilimency to any of them, they'd probably use it to figure out who likes who and then gossip about it. Ugh. Does this sound like a good idea? If any of you would like to help, or think you have an ability that would be useful to teach them, by all means let me know. I'd really love any advice you can give me.
Thanks for the wine and chocolate, Rangiku! And Iroh, your company was very much appreciated. I hope we get to do something like that again, only after a good day next time.

I hope you aren't mad at me for that drunken fake-out last night. I just thought you could use the distraction, and I wanted to keep a semi-clear mind so I could work out what I need to do.
