My lessons are going great and I'm getting 100% on most of my assignments. I've been talking to lots of different people and have heard a lot on the Yule Ball. I'm very excited for it, it's just that people are planning dates and outfits when it's so far away. I mean, should I plan an outfit? I feel that a simple dress would good. Besides, everyone is going to want a Cinderella moment. (that's a famous Muggle story by the way) They'll be over explaining their dress and make it look they are the most beautiful person in the world. They might be, but why over do it, huh? It's just for fun, it's not a pageant. Anyway, I'm trying to find really good DADA, Charms books and more so I can get good grades. I heard the Herbology 101 end of the class project is a bit hard, but I feel I'll get a good grade on it. I think I'll get a passing grade on that, maybe a 90 or 100 percent. I'll be happy with an 85% if that's going to get me to next year. I feel I'll get good grades in all my classes, except charms. It's very hard for me to understand. I guess if I focused a bit more or even took proper notes, I'd probably get better grades. It's just so hard because I'm thinking about other classes and what my friends are saying. Then I have to think about what to put in my journal so it makes sense for the teacher. did you know we have a journal that we write in and we turn it in? I was very surprised at that, but now i really like it. I have a hard time thinking about what to say. When I write in a journal (like a book journal where I track what I read), I usually do something and then come back a write another thing. There's many gaps in between what I say because it may 4 hours later than what I was writing before. So maybe I can put in little times where I wrote what. Yeah, I think I may do that.

(tip will be up soon, I promise)
