alt_sinistra7th years - and especially my NEWT students - I wish you all the very best as you go off into new and wonderful things. You have all grown so much, and changed, and I’m sure you will go on to learn more and do more than we can dream of right now.
And for everyone, while this year has had a great many changes and challenges, I know I’m not alone in being impressed at how so many of you have learned and grown. I hope you all have a truly excellent summer, and I look forward to hearing all about it in the fall.
Speaking of - I’ve had a few questions about how I expect to spend my own holidays. Of course, part of my time will be spent settling into a new home (and all that involves), and I very much hope to relax and enjoy the summer a bit. But of course, I’ve got other projects as time allows: some ongoing work for the Astronomy Guild, revising my NEWT curriculum for next year, and my own research.
Those of you leaving school or simply looking for summer opportunities, I did hear of a few more this week - varying skill sets. If you’re interested, do let me know.

Private message to Poppy and Pomona
Date: 2013-06-13 08:04 pm (UTC)Poppy: I do have some notes on the application of the binding charms, and the even more subjective experience of whether or not the castle approves of them. (I am more and more convinced that it at least does not disapprove, but this may be pure fancy.) At any rate, I have copies for both you and Irma, as a thank you for your help with all the research.
And Pomona, Mum said in her note today she'd particularly like to have you over sometime, if you get the time free - I think she wants to talk roses and a couple of the magical varieties in particular, with someone who really appreciates the conversation.
