Hey Buffy,
Long time no type, I know, I know. There's been oodles going on!
Classes are good, even if we're not getting graded for them which, I'm sorry, is SO UNFAIR. But on the upside I'm learning things. In Nature & Nature Magic we've learned about magical plants, rocks, and drumming and dancing. I even learned an anti-frog call which would've been very useful last week.
In Baking & Cooking we've made crepes, and snickerdoodles though I may be using a broad definition of "we" and "make" when I say that. The cookies came out okay though, if I do say so myself. And I'd better be or else my computer is possessed and someone else is doing the typing and boy let's just not go through THAT again, huh?
Speaking of, in Computers we've done nifty toys and sneakiness. Of course my hacker-fu was useful as always, but I ended up having to make a drawing for the Art Fair when my teacher Abby nearly caught me researching magic stuff in class.
Which, by the way, if somebody asks you to do a spell it's a good idea to strip search them for magicy stuff or else you'll end up having to undo it. Either that or maybe Dean and Alec kept things from me because they figured that was the only way they could get into each other's pants without their girlfriends finding out. I try not to judge.
That fourth class that I'm taking but not really taking is going real well. If you met the teacher I know you'd like him. He's had classes in pie and gibberish, which I did not know was actually a language and now? I'm a little scared. Also I'm so proud of him I could spit, not that I ever understood why spitting would be a good thing in this occaision.
Fandom's no Sunnydale, but we've had our share of problems. The influx of frogs turned out to be due to Rory making a perfectly understandable mistake that anyone could have done, really, not that I'd know anything about that nor would any of my friends. Anyway, there was a big meeting in the library and I thought I could do a spell to help but it turned out not to work as well as I wanted it to.
Do you remember me talking about a boy named Tyler? Well I found him trying to blow up a computer monitor in the woods and something about it made me miss us using the word wiggins. Bel said I probably wasn't overreacting and Veronica asked me to look into his past which was pretty nice of her considering she could've killed me for that time Marie and I did her shift on the radio.
There's also been wackiness and fun, like my friend Jamie having gnomes and doing a Bitterwoman marathon (with a girl who turns out not to have a crush back on him so CLEARLY she has no taste). There's been hanging out in common rooms with friends, bookfairs, and basketball and cheerleading practice which lead up to the big game and the fun party after.
My friend and roommate Marie knows I'm a witch now and she's been really supportive.
But I guess maybe the biggest news is Peter. He and I have been spending a lot of time together. Which has been really, really, really nice.
Of course, he's a king which means sometimes I need advice on how to do things the right way. Which, in terms of hankies, can be more work than you'd think.
But you know? It's kinda worth it.
Hope all in SunnyD are okay. Give hugs and smooches for me.
Willow.
