Back to Hogwarts

...and a more full schedule than ever. Revue rehearsal tonight, Prefects meeting and Revue rehearsal on Wednesday, YPL Thursday, Quidditch Friday, more YPL and rehearsal on Saturday, and so on.

Fortunately, my journal has additional charms to mind my schedule well. And, as a YPL counsellor, I am well aware of how it behooves oneself to keep busy in the service of the school and the Protectorate. Those of you who find it to be overwhelming at times ought to try on this trick for size: sing or hum the YPL anthem to yourself as you go about your day. All those tow row row row's really pick up the pace and make the various tasks go along speedily, and the lyrics bolster the spirit, reminding us of precisely who it is we serve, and why.

See you all around the castle.

Quite right about the anthem. I hum it while I stride the corridors between lessons. It helps keep me on time for all my obligations.

I know what you mean! It really does lift one's spirits, doesn't it?

What a truly excellent idea, about the song. I'll try that today.

I'd be lost without my scheduling charms! There's simply no other way to fully track all of a busy student's obligations, I think.

Bumbridge is too thick to detect sarcasm, at least. But her recent attempts to try to "limit" PMs is pure rubbish. Sure, it's fine and well to remind people that they ought to be reaching out publicly, as well, but you see that list of names she's just posted? From what I can tell, that's everyone who posted a PM yesterday after she made her announcement. I'd bet a fistful of galleons that she's calling that lot in to tell them off in person, maybe even give detention.

Which brings to mind something else - I thought these coins were going to be used to get around Bumbridge, maybe even figure out a way to get her out of the castle for good. Instead they've been used to announce quaint facts related to history and cultural events that everyone with a coin is already aware of. Is that really what the big plan is, regarding these galleons?

And if Sinbad's inspired oh-so-many people to become leaders, I'd like to know who. I sure haven't met any, lately.

Did you see the card, Father?

Or perhaps you've made the decision to overlook it.
