While some might raise an eyebrow towards how many courses she was takings, she had been taking more last year. She would have continued taking the others if she could. Even if not every class was her favorite, she still saw the benefit of learning all she could of each of her courses. "With patience and plenty of planning. Studying is a good thing to add to one's personal schedule. Always remember that." Graduating next year meant facing the world of careers and marriage... hopefully. She needed to be prepared for that. Having a busy schedule was actually a very useful tool of learning. It helped her prepare for a busy schedule regarding both work and raising children.

Thinking over her sister's words, it was hard to imagine one particular class as her favorite. "In all honesty, I am not entirely sure what class I would say is my favorite. If you count the classes that are not tested by OWLs and NEWTs, I must say that my favorite class would be art." A busy schedule indeed. Which reminded her of something. "Well, I should get on with studying. As should you." Not leaving her sister too much of an option, Acacia gave Orinda a friendly smile before grabbing her own books and some papers from her potions class and begun her work. While she was a warm and kind soul at heart, she was stern when it came to her responsibilities. Including making sure her sisters stayed on track with their studies... as best as she could.
