The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.

Right, so I'm staying at the Leaky, which is expensive. And whilst I have a little bit saved away at Gringotts, it isn't going to last me until the end of the summer if I don't get a job. So! I went hunting yesterday and last week, and finally got picked up at Florean's! I'm actually sort of excited about this.

No Cal. You can't have free ice cream. I however, can.

For some bad news, I sort of have to sneak back home when my mum and dad are gone to pick up my records. My last letter from my sister said that they weren't smashed or sold so I should get those before dad decides they take up too much space and decides to do one of the aforementioned. This is only a problem because mum is always home. I suppose I'll figure something out...

All right. I think I'm actually going cross-eyed with how much I've been reading and studying. Unfortunately, I still... do not understand a word of my Herbology notes.

Evan? Can I possibly persuade you to help me this weekend? I'd ask the Prof your dad except he always seems to be busy and I don't really want to bother him. I'm so lost.

As for right now: Cal? Chess? Please?

Oh Merlin... I'm.. sorry guys.

Excuse me while I go bury myself behind a book.

OH MERLIN, GUYS!

So, I know I got my Ministry Internship acceptance owl earlier this week AND I'm done with finals FOREVER AND I THINK I DID PRETTY GOOD ON MY NEWTS.

But I feel SO GOOD today, I'm not even kidding!!! Look at all those exclamation points! I don't get it, how is anyone not REALLY HAPPY right now?! It's the end of the YEAR! Come on, we only have a few weeks left and then it's the SUMMER. Oh I can't wait either, it's going to be so much fun!

I could SKIP AROUND THE HALlS RIGHT NOW!!!

Okay. Okay. I'm really really really bad at History and I think I'm done with my report, but I'd feel a lot better if someone looked over it before I have to turn it in tomorrow. Please?

April 7th: History of Magic (report)
April 9th: Herbology (exam)
April 14th: Charms (exam)
April 18th: Ancient Runes (report)
April 24th: Arithmancy (report)
April 28th: Muggle Studies (report - pick a field trip?)
May 1st: Health Science (exam)
EVERY WEEK: DADA, T-fig, Potions.

All right, so that's my exam/report schedule. Not too bad. I'm more worried about the weekly quizzes in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration and Potions. Does anyone know if it's the same day every week, or if they're just randomly going to pop on us? Because I hate being unprepared and...

I should probably just go to breakfast. The sun's coming up and it's bloody Wednesday, so I don't have a Study Hall until after lunch. And I really can't afford to zone out during History today. That report is looming over me. LOOMING!!!

I finally dug this out of my trunk. I thought I'd left it at home, but I suppose I shoved it in here. I have to have, since it's right in my hands. Or on my desk. Actually it's on a bunch of textbooks and bits of parchment that I really need to clean up one of these days. Maybe.

Some of you might appreciate this. I was in the library yesterday as usual and minding my own business, yes? I happened to bring some of my own books along, and you know how I like to write in them all th some times, yes? Well I was scribbling in the margins of Hélas, Je me suis Transfiguré mes Pieds and Madame Pince came up to me, screamed at me for five minutes (way to disturb the peace, by the way) and then took my book away! It's my bloody book! I'm allowed to write in it if I want to! I bought that book! And she wouldn't give it back to me! I don't know what to do. I'm scared to go back in there, and I don't think she's going to let me check out any more books. What am I going to do?!

I also can't find my favourite quill. This weekend is horrible. Someone go to Hogsmeade with me? I want to go to Honeydukes or something for a pick-me-up.
