Mar. 12th, 2013 08:45 pmI say, it felt like spring this afternoon, didn't it?
It's well lovely now that the sun's up a bit earlier and the air is less frigid in the mornings. We have only a week left until our revue performance (such a very long time to work on a project but I think it's quite a decent result, in the end), a Hogsmeade visit and then Easter Holidays--it's rather amazing how quickly it's all coming up, after such a long winter, what!
Sunday's presentation was also just the sort of thing to break the monotony of one's studies. It's a testament to the authors' dedication to Hogwarts and the students that they took time away from their writing to speak to us. It's always edifying to learn how professionals approach their craft and to think of the variation in genres and styles. I daresay several girls were particularly happy to obtain signed copies of Elation. I hope we might continue the series in future, perhaps with other authors reading from their works.
Of course, these opportunities aside, it's really our schooling that occupies the majority of our time. I'm grateful to the Headmistress for ensuring that we have sufficient quiet, uninterrupted periods in which to focus on our individual revision. Working in groups only gets one so far; after all, when we come to it, O.W.L.s are not a group effort, what!
