I love Spain. I am going to move there. Castilian can't be that difficult to learn, can it? And the majorero cheese! Stand-by for forwarding address.

I just love being a member of things.

I suppose it would not only be highly illegal and difficult, but also impractical to procure a dragon, what with my recently-vacated-but-still-small flat and Mad Dog Kidd...

This is what I did at work today.

That is all.

It's been a year since we've been out of school, almost finishing a year since everyone started their prospective career paths...

Maybe this is nostalgia, but I almost miss the days of petty feuds with Ravenclaws Slytherins other students and worrying about papers instead of--oh, you know, life, and such.

Someone should take me out to dinner.

I'm only saying.

There is flour EVERYWHERE!!

It is so nice when stress baking and holiday baking and gift baking can all be combined.

Er...

Halloween ball...

So.

But he deserved it, right?

There... is a...

And then there's W--but well

Yeah.

Oh, god--Merlin--ACK

I don't understand why people hire interns if all they do is expect them to do everything but study and observe and do what they were hired to do.

No wonder they didn't give us desks--there's nothing to need them for!

I totally tried to do a piece on that protest Ingrid was talking about and someone took one look at it and said "What paper do they think they're writing for?"

The really cool part of this was they didn't know an intern wrote it and what they said sounded more impressed than that it was accompanied by eye-rolling. And more like "Well, you tried, too bad we're totally LAME and don't publish stuff like this."

I am totally going to get fired if someone important reads this

Annnnd I also stuck it under the door of the editor's office, but that's irrelevant, right? Someone totally could have had it slip off the pile they were levitating in there. With no name on it. Or editorial mark-ups.

...at least I get paid, right?

I HAVE A DATE TO THE BALLLLLL AND GUESS WHAT DAI

I ALSO HAVE A DESK UNOFFICIALLY

HOBGOBLINS, YOU WERE AMAZING LAST NIGHT! Totally rocked my socks off.

Except thankfully not literally, because that floor was filthy-- Kirby, why can't you find cleaner venues to perform at?

I received some of the loveliest flowers by owl, today. TO THE SENDER: I'm so happy our meeting made such an impression on you! They really are the most fragrant, beautiful flowers I've ever seen in my life.

It's such a surreal sad surreal feeling to go from the youngest of four to the only child in the space of a very short time.

Well, perhaps surreal isn't the perfect word, but.

At least the internship with the Prophet looks to be panning out. That's one thing going right, at the very least.

I also made blueberry muffins, but somebody ate them all.

I think I'm going to have to jump on the bandwagon and mention how overjoyed I am that N.E.W.T.S are over! Why are exams always so stressful? I think I just about pulled out my entire head of hair in stress over it. And the distractions-- I never thought I'd get a bit of studying done! But they're over! And now we can properly begin to enjoy our last days of term while I refuse to think about what I scored.

And I think I shall start enjoying myself by finding a very perfect tree by the lake and spending a few hours doing absolutely nothing.

It has come to my attention that History of Magic is oh-so-very boring, and therefore I am not paying it any more attention. Is that awful of me? Perhaps it is, but I don't care. There are much better things to occupy my time with then goblin rebellions or spell inventions or anything else that class can teach me.

Or perhaps I am just awful at history because I can hardly remember what happened to me yesterday, let alone four hundred years ago. Well, not what happened to me four hundred years ago, but what happened four hundred years ago. And the entire century. And not just this day in time, four hundred years ago. I mean a rough approximation of four hundred ye--well. I suppose you get the picture.

I want lovely weather. I think an outside picnic would be lovely. Also, excellent Quidditch weather is in order. Or perhaps not, because Slytherin is playing soon and they're already in last place, where they should stay. I am so pleased we won.

Sometimes, I think I shall either cut off all my hair or change its color.
