47.
I suppose my only real resolution for this year is to finish one of these many half-finished scripts I have lying around. That should be easy enough. Ah, to be inspired as I once was... Or at least not so easily distracted~
Although the distraction of being on the ice the other day was rather pleasant. I'm afraid my paws don't do too well on such a surface, but it was nice to chat with fellow faculty and to watch the students enjoy themselves. Although some people seem to have fallen through the ice, possibly due to other students melting holes in it. I'd advise against it. We don't want an incident like nine years ago. One poor boy drowned because of foolish pranks like that.
---
And to be just as distanced as I used to be. I was right in thinking that only pain and frustration could come from it. Especially with that idiot.
Would it be wrong of me to encourage him next time he goes through a phase of self-harm? I wonder, sometimes. But I suppose it's no good to have somebody's death on my conscience.
