Profound musings

Free her mind she's always the analyst
Silent space the culprit the catalyst
Trying to make ( sense of her life )

I apologise to my mentoring group for not being very attentive these past couple of days. If you have any questions or concerns about anything, please don't hesitate to ask.

I'm going to be busy this school year. NEWTs study, prefect duties, the addition of Muggle Studies to my workload and now mentoring. It's a good thing I enjoy being active.

I don't really mind babysitting, but tonight I was asked to look after two children while their parents went out to dinner with mine. Parvati wasn't asked, it's the curse of being the eldest that I am seen as the 'responsible' one and therefore get the job. The children in question weren't naughty, just rather active and demanded entertainment. Thankfully creating puzzle games and teaching them some Kathak dancing was enough to tire them out until they were ready to be tucked into bed and told stories. I was flattered that their favourite was 'The Vain Princess', which happened to be one of my own poor little scribbles. Ego boosts are always lovely, even from under fives.

But, I am certainly glad that I give these ones back and don't have to do this every night. It will be five years or more before I'll be ready to tuck my own into bed!

I never thought it possible, but I've completely run out of books to read. New books that is and even most of the old ones I've re-read. This is a dire situation as soon I will be forced to read the only books left - my mother's romance novels. Although honesty compels me to admit that I ended up reading a couple out of sheer desperation yesterday, and it felt as if I was reading the same book twice. Now, I don't condemn those who enjoy romance novels, I think I understand the appeal, but they are very formulaic and it bothers me when I know exactly what the ending is going to be two pages into a book.

Thankfully Mum has decided we need some pampering and told Dad she's taking me and Parvati out for a 'spa day'. Which means she and Parvati will get facials and whatever, and I will invade Flourish & Blotts in search of more reading material, and also to pick up the remaining school text books. Mum was a little nervous about letting me go alone, but I told her I am a) of age and b) who would be nutty enough to kidnap/attack someone in broad daylight? Don't answer that Rhetorical question by the way.

I don't know what I want,
So don't ask me, cause I'm still trying to figure it out.
Don't know what's down this road,
I'm just walking.
Trying to see through the rain coming down.
Even though I'm not the only one,
that feels the way I do.

I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know.
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong,
Oh, but life goes on.
