Gooseberry High

Keep your eyes open for Black-capped Chickadees. A lot of the local birds are leaving us now or will be soon but these lads will stick around all through autumn and winter. I guess they're tougher than they look. I think I might start putting some seed out for them around Azurcrest.

Oh. And congratulations to the Skins on their football victory yesterday! Very impressive, lads. And I'm sure the rest of us being distracted had nothing to do with it.

Hey Yancey. I was just wondering. Do you have a date for the dance on Saturday?

[Addy]

[...] So. I've got a date.

I know it's not as exciting as unicorns or swarms of butterflies, but I saw some brilliant birds out in the woods during Outdoor Exploration yesterday, including three different warblers that were still on my list. I think I might go out again today with my camera and see if my luck holds up if anyone wants to come along. [...] Back in time for the Quidditch match, of course.

[Jaime, Ennis, Phin & Addy]

I still can't believe you all got up there a Congratulations on your various bidding wars yesterday. That was quite a sight. We never did anything like that at Hogwarts. [...] Hopefully, I'll still get to see you all at the dance now that you're officially VIPs.

Are you all going to the match later?

Hey lads and lasses. I finished grading the last batch of quizzes for Ms. Vector and I'll be handing them back this week. And there are a few things I wanted to mention.

First, if you aren't satisfied with your marks or if you don't think you've got a thorough understanding of the material, I'd encourage you to come see me so we can work on it or find a study partner. Having a good grasp on the fundamentals is going to be critical from here onward and everything's going to build on what we're doing now.

Second, try to make sure your work is clear. Being haphazard with the terminology or the symbology in this class is going to get you into trouble. Be precise and make sure everything is legible. There are a few of you that I'll want to touch base with this week to get clarification on your work. I won't do that after this week and I'm pretty sure Ms. Vector wouldn't do it at all.

Sorry if it seems like I'm getting on anyone's case. But I figured now is better than later when it comes to grades.

Is it too much to ask to keep the cabin in some kind of order? I can't think with everyone's shit everywhere when it's a mess like that. And I'm trying to study for exams. I cleaned it up. Just keep it that way.

Please.

I don't think I'm going to make the game tomorrow. There's a potential exchange student I need to show the ropes. But good luck! Show those bawbags them what Gooseberry's made of.

So. Gabriel's here. I can't believe Gabriel's here. It was a surprise. And he might be transferring next year! [..] Do you guys want to have breakfast with us tomorrow before the match? It'd mean a lot t

[Junior Azurcrest Boys]

Want to do something tonight? Board game? Cards? Something?

I can't focus and studying is sort of a lost cause.
