Maybe, if I spend the whole of the summer studying, I won't die of exhaustion before I can take my OWLs.

Ancient Runes - 3 hours, Saturdays & Sundays
Arithmancy - 3 hours, Saturdays & Sundays
Astronomy - not that important? What am I going to do with it? 1 hour, Sundays
Charms - 3 hours, Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays.
Defense Against the Dark Arts - 3 hours, Tuesdays, Thursdays & Sundays
Herbology - 3 hours, Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays
History of Magic - same as Astronomy, probably
Potions - 3 hours, Tuesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays
Transfiguration - 3 hours, Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays

Twelve hours of studying in a day is probably fine.

OWL grades -

Ancient Runes - E
Arithmancy - E
Charms - O
DADA - O
Herbology - O
History of Magic - A
Potions - O
Transfiguration - O

I think I'll drop Arithmancy and History, which... doesn't really do as much for my schedule for NEWTs as I'd hoped it would. Maybe I should think about it.

Decided taking six classes is fine. It's just two more years. and despite what some people think I can't afford to just do nothing.

Between the lethifold in the library last year and whatever Miss Mulciber and I found on patrol last night, I'm starting to regret not taking COMC. Why does Hogwarts have so many creatures running around anyway??
