I AM FREEZING.
When I was about six, I told my mum that all I wanted for Christmas was my two front teeth and she was terribly shocked and sat down and had a long, long talk to tell me that I was Jewish. I already knew, of course, and was just trying to sing the song, but the damage was done and every once in a while she likes to remind me that we're Jewish, in case I forget. I think she just does it because we're not traditional about it whatsoever.

I spent all weekend trying to make a skirt out of Ravenclaw ties, and then when it was finished I realised it looked really stupid. Stewart Ackerley has been trying to wear it as a headress, but, you know, it's waist size, and my waist is a little bigger than his head so it's not really working out.

I'm getting a bit worried about how much time I'm going to have to revise for my N.E.W.T.s. I spend a lot of time helping the younger students, especially the third years with their new lessons, and while that's fine, it's not leaving me much time to prepare for my N.E.W.T.s as early as I'd have liked. Professor Flitwick has said that I'm doing fine in Charms, but I don't really want to do fine. I think I was doing much better last term. I'm looking forward to hols if only because I think things should calm down enough at Hogwarts for me to get my work done. Morgan Mullarkey says I'm being a loser, but I see him writing spells all over his wrists, so I don't think I'm alone here.

I'm knitting a pair of mittens for Morgan for Christmas, since he celebrates it, but I like them so much I might keep them for myself. I can always use the "I am Jewish" excuse.
