Why so quiet here you ask...

So I've been very quiet, well firstly it's the end of term so I have loads of reading to do. Add the extra class and it's read, read, read, knit, read etc... You get the idea, I really don't mind it.

I'm going out to Hogsmeade today or tomorrow to get the very last items for my swap pal, Cassandra. It's been fun meeting another dragon lover and can't wait to put your package in Esme's beak very soon.

I can't believe it's almost the end of the term already and that the dates for the next term are up. I am so coming back next year, do you hear that Neila and Minee?? I'm sorry that I haven't submited my yearbook picture I am so far behind everything right now. This is one of the things that's been taking up some of that precious time!! It's the perfect companion for a glasses wearing bookworm like me, it's so nice to actually read print again without squinting and giving myself horrible headaches. I have all the HP's in mobipocket format on this and so many more books!! Now I'll have more room on my bookshelves for knitting books too.

In the doldrums

I know I haven't been really posting, my classes have been swamping me that I don't even have time to get to the Ravenclaw knitting meetings. I miss those meetings and hanging out with my fellow Ravenclaws. I definitely want to make it back to Hogwarts next year and I hope that with all the changes in how students will be sorted into their houses that i will continue to be a Ravenclaw!!

I'm almost completed my pal's package. I just need to pick up some goodies and put the finishing touches on her bag. I really hope that Cassandra likes her goodies ;-) It's been fun getting this package ready I never thought I'd be excited about Slytherin colours....maybe I might be sorted into Slytherin.....
