I have spent the past... twent... Why must they always do that? Don't they know it's supposed to be fairly cool in here? why must it always be me? not that I'm really complaining, but some help would be nice.Er. I have spent the past twenty-four days either in the library or in a corner of the common room. Sarafina thought it was so very funny to ( Read more... )

I was very happily in my bed, reading, while there was all this shrieking and goings-on outside. Did you all have a wonderful Samhain? I know I did. (For your information, I read a translation of Medea. Wonderful, wonderful stuff ( Read more... )

Hello, my name is Lisa and I am an idiot. This is not an unusual state of affairs, but it does seem to be rather prevalent lately. I keep losing this journal everywhere, complaining when I can't find it, then find it in a book or somewhere (since I tend to use anything and everything as a bookmark), then finishing the first book and having the ( Read more... )

So much to do, so much to do, so much to do. Am reading Macbeth and loving it. Am also analysing Shakespeare. Also starting to analyse the fundamental (philosophical/theologial) principles of Terry Pratchett's Discworld, which can basically be summed up as 'The Creator decided to have some fun, and to hell with principles.' This assignment is at ( Read more... )

Apologies. This journal continuously relegates itself to the bottom of my trunk. Mandy handed in her journal to me; apparently she's doesn't want to do it, since she feels like she has nothing to say to anyone. I fear she may be right, as I have nothing much to say either, at least nothing informative, but I accepted it anyway. And so now her ( Read more... )

I am, for one, exceedingly glad that I do not participate in games like Truth or Dare.

Sarafina is upset with me. Exceedingly so. Another of my father's children has turned up, and Sarafina didn't know, and I forgot to tell her, and now it's all gone to pieces.

Wonderful.

My owl keeps biting me. Probably because Sarafina told it to.

Millicent, I've finished your dress. I wasn't sure what would suit you.Padma - Sarafina, as expected, was laughing to wake the dead when I sent her my letter. She doesn't have a very high opinion of you right now, but she will for my sake, but she asks you to never involve her again in schoolyard politics, since she considers herself above them.

I've made my decision.

I'll be going back into the Muggle world after I graduate school. I'm doing my Muggle homework now. Sarafina sends it by owl every so often, and I send it back, completed, and she sends more. I have my maths textbook with me, a book on history for an assignment, my science books, the English novel... To Kill A Mockingbird, I ( Read more... )

Sarafina has recovered.

I am beading again, one bead at a time, stitching, beading, stitching.

It looks well enough.

School will be... interesting this year.

Anyone still up for the study group?

Sarafina's out of control. She's gone into one of her changes of mood, and they're so extreme, so much, and it's just so very draining to hold her and listen and hug her and keep her still and calm when she's aimed at destroying herself and everyone that comes near her however she can. I'm afraid to leave her alone, since she's threatening suicide ( Read more... )
