I have a bit of an announcement to make, it's nothing school related though.

Professor Yukimi and myself are starting a family. We just found out last week and we'll soon have a little boy or girl to take care of.

I feel like I need to be more honest with everyone. Students, you need new hobbies besides getting detention. Fellow teachers, we need to make some hobbies for the students. Like knitting baby clothes.

I put the finishing touches on my costume last night. I'm looking forward to chaperoning the dance tomorrow evening. Even though it's a Sunday night, please remember that you have class the next day. That includes the teachers.

Also, make sure that your costumes are tasteful.

My pushpins seem to transfigure in to chess pieces when I try to use them. It's getting to be annoying when I have to tack something up, and I don't want to use a permanent sticking charm.

I guess I could start learning chess.

Everyone seems so lively with all of the singing going on. It's not so bad though, they could be dancing around and blocking the halls.

It's getting close to October now, so I should probably start thinking of a costume for Halloween.

Just a reminder for my students in all years to have chapter two of your textbook read for Mondays class.

It's nice to be back here, it feels safer than being home. I felt safe at home, but Hogwarts always gave me an extra sense of security.

I hope all my students are feeling well. I want you to know that even though I'm not the Head of House for Hufflepuff this year, I'm always free to talk to.

I must say that the muggle newspapers are a little upsetting lately. I don't even read them that often, I just happened to walk by. Stand and see the headlines. I'm glad that I have things to keep me busy, instead of dwelling on it. I need to pack up the whole apartment before Kazuhiko gets back.

We decided that we'll have a muggle ceremony, but we haven't decided where to have it. I think I want it in France though. I should go and apparate to a few locations for a look.

I'm not sure if I can say that I'm home now or not. Kazuhiko and I haven't talked about where we'll be living now that we're engaged. I think it would be easier if we moved in to an entirely new place instead of mine or his ( Read more... )

Between planning lessons and thinking about wedding plans, I barely have any time to relax. Easter break was just as bad, even though I was home. I was finally able to get my parents over to meet Kazuhiko.

I hope that everyone had a nice break, it's crunch time before exams and I want you ready to study.
