alt_sinistraAs the weather’s been clearing a bit, I’ve been out walking more - rather pleasant to get outside in the fresh air, really. And it’s about this time of year that we start seeing the flowers come out. There’s a lovely little burst of snow drops out on my usual way around the lake, and I can just see hints of crocus buds coming up, or trying to.
5th years: It’s also the time of year when my thoughts turn to our year-end exams. I’d like to set up some extra practice sessions with charts, and some chances to try some sample exams so you have the best possible idea what to expect and how to prepare for the OWL format.
Please come to Wednesday night’s class with your schedules, so we can find some dates and times. While I plan to include some evening sessions before May, many parts of the exam can be practiced using the projection stones at other times of day. And of course, I remain glad to work one-on-one - just come by office hours or make an appointment for a mutually convenient time.
(I’ve already spoken to my NEWT students about their own preparation, but several of them have also mentioned they’d be glad to assist in OWL preparation and study under my supervision.)

Private message to Poppy Pomfrey
Date: 2013-03-06 12:40 am (UTC)Would you let me know a good time to stop by (or I can comment here?) A few updates on what we talked about Friday.
Also, I’ve a book or two to lend you that you might be interested in - one touches on that weather prediction, the other’s just for pleasure.
Re: Private message to Poppy Pomfrey
Date: 2013-03-07 04:18 am (UTC)Of course, I'd love to see you whenever you feel you could stop up. The only thing predictable about my schedule is its utter unpredictability, dependent upon the fraying nerves and queasy stomachs of our young friends. Mind you, if they'd not gorge themselves on sweets and biscuits, they might avoid many unpleasant hours with me.
I would be very pleased to have the loan of those books. Thank you, sincerely!
