This week has been so long. I'm sure this next week will be long too. At least the scars are all healed Summer can't come soon enough it seems. I could use two months of vacation right now, even though I'd probably waste the days anyway. Too bad the weekend is over and I have to go back to work and teach tomorrow, because I could really use a drink. I guess I'll just have to wait until Friday so I don't have to worry about not being hung over when I wake up the next morning.

I hope St. Mungo's doesn't get locked down, I can't afford to miss work past the end of this week. I'd try to go somewhere else, but St. Mungo's is the only place I can go to be treated for these wounds.

It's the start of another year. Also means back to work for me. Actually, I started working on Friday. I've been working on my lesson plans for this semester for my students. They are going to have a lot of fun this term, but of course, they always have fun. Today was spent on just the holidays. I gave them an assignment today, due Friday, to write a story about their holidays with pictures included. It's to be like a picture book, so that'll be exciting. Merlin knows, they all love to colour. They'll do just about anything that involves colouring. It's how I easily got them to learn the alphabet and numbers.

And the children in my class have decided that next Monday, we're going to have party. Somehow they've caught wind that its my birthday this weekend. Oh dear Another year older

Christmas is over... again. Mum and dad spent the holiday in Italy this year, I think, so I was left alone and except for Christmas Eve and Day, I've been spending time with one coworker or another, and not family. They are so dull If I didn't love my job so much, I One good thing about holidays, I actually have time to play my cello. It's been gathering dust since the end of the summer holiday, and I finally got a chance to play it yesterday. Who am I kidding?

I never thought that my past would find me again. Somehow, I was convinced to come pick up a journal by one of the few people I have kept in touch with over the years. I seemed to have missed a lot since I left the wizarding world. I'm sure none of you remember me, but I'm Penelope Clearwater, former Ravenclaw. I went to Oxford a few years ago and now I'm a teacher to 6 and 7 year olds. They are darlings. Now the Christmas hols are here again and this term seems to have flown by. I always enjoy this time although I'm always alone of year. I'm free from grading work and I don't have to break up any fights that come up. Well, my tea is ready, so that's it for now.
