Alright kids, at the end of the week we're having evening class outside provided the weather isn't too bad and that the sky is clear enough for us to see. As some of you may or may not already know, a new planet has been discovered recently, one that might even be able to support life much like Earth can. Hopefully we'll be able to do some partial ( Read more... )

Well kids I have graded your work, I'm sorry it took a while but I wanted to list the most common mistakes in order to write up sufficient pointers for this weeks class. If you want a more personal explanation of your grade please feel free to ask. The chart and diary were worth five marks each and thus giving your total grade as well as the ( Read more... )

Remember class, your astronomic timetables and charts are due on Friday. I hope you've all been filling them in dilligently every night.

On a different note, I apologise for the rather off putting aroma that's lingering in the tower right now, it is being dealt with. I hope you'll bare with me until I can properly disperse it. In the meantime  ( Read more... )

Well with the retreat coming up I suppose it's best to get these booklists out of the way so I'm not rushing at the last minute. Besides I'll need the time to shake off future babysitting duties for the rest of the month. Not like the can rely on me much anymore anyway. I'd rather make the most of my time with Hotohori before going back to school ( Read more... )

Good grief, just looking back at some of the entries the past few weeks show things have been lively. Some handled it more than others but I'm pretty relieved I was out of range apparently. That would have ruined my honeymoon for sure! I'll have to read up on all I've missed when I get the chance, goes to show a lot can happen not being able to ( Read more... )

I have never been so glad to be home in all my life.

Well makes a change the weather is actually pretty nice at the moment, the question of it lasting is another matter. This is Scotland after all.

Still it won't matter for a little while anyway, I'll be away in a weeks time. Needless to say I'll be leaving this journal at home, I doubt I would have ( Read more... )

[And the audio begins with a heavy sigh before suddenly bursting into-...]

"Once again I'm a little depressed by the tired old face that I see,
Once again it is time to be someone, who's anyone other than me.
With the rare combination of girlish excitement and manly restraint,
I position my precious assortment of pencils and powders and paint.

Well, nothing much more to say than to wish you all the best of luck. I trust you have all prepared as best you can. I can promise there is nothing in those papers we haven't covered, and all questions are relI do want the best outcome for you all. That being said if I spot any hint of cheating you'll find yourself tossed out of your chair and into ( Read more... )
