My apologies for the delay in response. Life on the farm erupted into momentary chaos as Niamh forgot to lock the pasture gates. It took nearly four days to round up the goats.

Whether it's Calla or my own assistance, I'm sure you'll do well. You succeed in every venture you start, just as I know you will throughout all your life.

I would like to continue on with Defense if at all possible. Spell damage healing is quite interesting on its own, though I will still most likely move into Plants and Potions. I'm unsure of whether or not I'll attempt to volunteer more in the infirmary or not, it largely depends on my course load and handle on the materials. More than likely I'll continue to squirrel away in the library.

Less than a month now until we return to school.
