Debutantes
I wrote Mother last week. She says she looks forward to seeing me over the Holidays, although I can't say I completely trust that it is me she wants to see. After all, the majority of her letters consist of concerns regarding my unladylike manners and behaviour.
I have reminded her constantly that I have been attending L'académie des Jeunes Sorcières every summer for their debutante program at her request since I was 11 - and doing quite well in it I might add. Yet she persists in her fears that I shall fail to successfully pass all my tasks and not be able to attend the debutante ball next year. She clearly has no faith in me at all. After all, I would never do something so horribly embarrassing towards myself.
Still I personally believe my attentions are better focused on my school work, but mother has never cared to much for academia. I am certain she expects me to marry straight after Hogwarts. To me that seems completely impractical. There is far too much I want to accomplish for myself before I settle down and start a family.
At least, the school has been fairly quiet and relaxing even if my mother has not.
