Fay, my lovely little journal,

This whole studying by yourself thing has gotten on my nerves. I mean, I wouldn't even be studying, but I promised myself that I would work harder this year, on account of the OWL's. That, and my parents would probably be disappointed if I don't do well. Family honor and all that, you know.

At least I'm sure of an O in Divination...If I could just crack open that Transfiguration text, it'd be smooth sailing.

Speaking of Divination, I did another reading today. Things seem to be looking up, if I read between the lines. And they said to watch out for someone new. Meaning a new friend? Maybe. I hope so.

Watch. With my luck, it'll involve me running into someone, and getting my books knocked down. Oh the joy.

Mm, that reminds me. I'm almost out of gum. When's the next Hogsmeade weekend? I need to restock my stash.
