Does anyone have any gardens that need tending to? My boss got bitten by an unusually vicious fanged geranium, and while I don't think his wound can be anywhere as severe as he's made it look, it does mean that I've been left in charge, and being in charge isn't exactly my strong point!!. I ran out of appointments three days ago, and I'd rather not pay the company ten galleons an hour for fiddling around with the bouncing bulbs and flitterblooms on my own windowsill. We specialise in magical plants, but really anything you want me to do would be fine. I will mow lawns, please just Oh, erm, I have a N.E.W.T. in Herbology and you might remember my dad as the Herbology professor at Hogwarts, and I've been working at this company for almost two years, so please please please if you have anything at all that needs doing I can do it and I will do it because I'm going to get in trouble if we lose any more money.

Did anyone else get a pamphlet from the Society for the Preservation of Wizarding Culture with their newspaper this week or did the owl just bring us one by accident?

Oh yeah! And I hope everyone watches MLEP tonight. See? I told you I'd tell them.

Warded to Felix Flint:

I'm sorry that I thought you took my study notes, and I'm sorry that I interrupted your date and locked myself in my room all week, and yelled at you in the journals, and let's go do whatever that thing was you said we should do, I mean if you still want to, because I'm done!!


Warded to Katey Cooper:

I'm sure you got bored of getting these in school, but it's time for your yearly thank-you-for-trying-to-help-me-through-exams note.

My first exam is tomorrow and my last one is on Friday so I'll be studying all week. Thursday is my witchcraft exam, I mean my exam about witch-craft and witch-hunting, because obviously we don't do witchcraft in a muggle school, ha ha, and that one might not be so bad, but other than that



Anyway, I'm locking my door now and please no one talk to me until Saturday, and actually I should start getting ready for next year as soon as I'm done my exams so I'll probably be away all summer and maybe until after I graduate, if I graduate, so I'll see you all later.

Just ten more days just ten more days just ten more days Well, school wrapped up yesterday so that means that I just have exams left! I have to say that I think it'd make more sense to grade us just on our papers and things, because at least then we can take the time to get everything worded the way we want it and we wouldn't have to worry about forgetting things. I mean, I'm sure they know what they're doing and I guess it's good practice for us, but it's not like proper history books are only written in an hour or two, and I'll bet that professors have their lessons planned out a long time in advance, so in general it's not like being able to write it on the spur of the moment is going to be all that handy. And it's a little bit nerve-wracking!!!!!

At least there are no practical exams. I've always hated those never liked those as much as the written ones. Is anyone else doing exams?
