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 Andie Haley
Date: 2013-03-06 01:10 am (UTC)Just wanted to check in and see how you’re doing, but also ask you something. You didn’t get your usual treat package from Mum, did you? (I didn’t either: don’t fuss your grandmum or anyone else, all right? Give me a few days to talk to people. In the meantime, I’ve a few things from elsewhere if you want a treat.)
I also gather your mum isn’t too happy with me right now. (Both Mum and your Dad wrote me about it.) I know she’s frustrated about the wedding
so am Ibut I can’t fix that just yet. Part of it is that we know exactly how to annoy each other best when wedisagreefight. I promise we’ll work it out.EventuallyAnd whatever else, I owe you a day out without your siblings, don’t I, over hols? Since we didn’t manage over Christmas. Still not sure of my plans, given everything, but we’ll figure something out.
If Madam Headmistress asks about this, tell her that it’s family business, and I’m glad to discuss it with her if she insists. If you’d like to talk further, come up with whatever astronomy question you’d like and come see me, and we’ll go down to my rooms. (Your most recent charts are better than usual, mind.)
