Study reminders
Just a reminder to students in the OWL and NEWT exam years that the projection stones make studying for the chart identification portions of the exams much more flexible. Stones can be checked out from me during my office hours, and used in the classroom at any point when I’m available to open it.
I also intend to continue my usual spring habit of additional study sessions (starting in February this year). I’m always glad to share sample questions, to mark practice charts or locational problems, or otherwise give you more practice. As I did last year, I'm also planning brief notes in the next few weeks about where I feel you've mastered the material, and where you could best apply your study time.
For those interested in February’s lecture in the Guild, we do have a few more spaces left. If you’ve not told me you’re interested, please do so by Wednesday. I’ll have some brief (and I promise interesting) prepartory reading for everyone - you can pick that up any time after Friday.

Private message to Pomona
Miss Pimm and Miss Tatterson all right? Just start of term nerves, I hope, nothing worse? I've had a swarm of fifth years suddenly realising there are exams looming this evening, but that's a different sort of thing from firsties. (And rather more predictable, really, it being January, I suppose.)
About this afternoon, I really do trust your judgement and experience a great deal. In terms of the effect on students, more than I do Tosha or Raz. (Just fair, that). I admit I’m as uneasy as you are, though I suppose Tosha has a point about putting the cart before the thestral.
