September 4, 1889
It is nice to get back into a routine at school. I’m enjoying my courses so far. While mother might believe that ancient studies is a waste of time, I feel that it is very interesting. Sloane and Calla would hate it, but at least I don’t feel like I have to pretend to dislike it just because everyone else it bored. Divination is interesting as well. I admit that I wish Calla and Sloane were with me in at least one of my electives but I am enjoying them. They come back talking about CoMC every day, but I don’t think I’d enjoy the course much. Honestly, art remains one of my favorite courses. Plus Maddy is taking it with me so I have someone to talk to as I sketch.
Matthew is back to thinking he is so grown up. Granted, he never really stopped thinking that. But now that we are school and he is continuing with NEWT courses instead of OWL courses he is almost intolerable. At least Henry is still as cheerful as ever.
I think I am most grateful to be back at school because I feel like I can live my own life. Home sometimes feels suffocating with all the rules and expectations. At least at school I can be with my friends and take courses that interest me.
