I don't like change, I accept that it's good for me, and it's really something that I'm looking to change about myself. Isn't that what you're supposed to do? Recognize a flaw, and then do what you can to change it, or at least make it easier to deal with? Well I'm trying, very hard. I don't know how well it's working. I've never been exceptional ( Read more... )

Well it seems like we all have our fair share these days. Every house is wrought by some sort of tension, not only that but the entire school is tense together what with everything that happened over the holidays. Either by what they learned, or saw, or did. Then we come back here, and we're supposed to be distracted by school work, but really our ( Read more... )

Well, when Ravenclaws make up their mind to do something, they certainly won't take no for an answer. I've just come from paying our fellow school mates a visit in the hospital. While I understand that their intentions were well meaning, I am just sorry for their injuries, and for our school's loss of another student. This is a terrible incident, ( Read more... )

Christmas at Hogwarts was relatively quiet. Minus a bit of panic on my part in light of Anthony Goldstein going missing. That's really disconcerting, and I certainly hope that every resource is being exhausted in order to find him. I just wish there was something I could do. And I'm sure the Ravenclaws are going slightly insane while all this is ( Read more... )

I'm very concerned about some of the students in this school. And I'm taking this moment to remind everyone to have a good SAFE holiday season. Please be safe. Everyone ( Read more... )

I went down to breakfast this morning and all I wanted was hot chocolate. Do you think there was any? NO! Of course there wasn't. SOMEONE had the nerve to tell me to go down to the kitchens and ask one of the elves for it. Honestly like I would do that ( Read more... )

Well, I've FINALLY been able to catch up on my reading ahead. I know that sounds odd, but it's really been a while since I have been able to get ahead. But this means I might actually be able to enjoy myself in Hogsmeade rather than sitting around worrying about my unfinished business. I'm very pleased with myself ( Read more... )

I had tea with Lisa Turpin yesterday, it was an experience. I don't know if it was so much tea as it was me sitting in the kitchens drinking tea and trying to ignore the glares from those poor house elves as Lisa made hot chocolate and biscuits for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. She is a very sweet girl, and I've really not met anyone like her ( Read more... )

It is rather nice to see that mostly everyone enjoyed the Effectiveness Class on Saturday. I really do hope that everyone enjoyed themselves. And I had fun answering all your questions. Lisa Turpin brought up some interesting points and while I don't usually cater to this sort of thing, I'm of the opinion that what she really needs is girl talk. So ( Read more... )

A Prank War. That's not at all what I had in mind when I suggested becoming a highly effective individual. In fact that isn't very effective at all. I worry that this will do nothing more than cause some kind of trend. If they start doing it, then everyone will start doing it, it will be ridiculous. I don't mind these things being done in spare ( Read more... )
