Anyways, meet Twister who did not want to cooperate more than this.
My favourite book teacher is Professor Mcgonnagal. She was just an instant favourite when I read Harry Potter for the first time (she also reminded me a little of my elementary school teacher, who I loved).

Harry Potter Questions: 21-30
  • 21. What happy memory would you use for your patronus?

My first kiss, probably. Or the movie nights I spent with @abschaumno1. @skellingcrow, and @devilishangel4eva. That´s an incredibly happy one.

  • 22. Would you ever use an unforgivable spell?

I would say no, but I don´t know how I would react in an extreme situation. So let´s stick with: not if I can prevent it.

  • 23. Would you be a prefect?

Pretty sure that I would not try to become one. XD But if I get elected? Why not?

  • 24. What would be your dream job in the wizarding world?

A teacher, I guess. Or a shopkeeper of some quirky magical shop in Diagon Alley.

  • 25. Would you enter your name in the Triwizard tournament?

I´m too much of a cowar to do that. XD

  • 26. Would you rather go to Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, or Durmstrang?

I am from Luxembourg, which means I would get send to Beauxbatons, but if I could choose? Hogwarts. 

  • 27. Would you join S.P.E.W.?

I´d probably donate homemade cookies for them to sell for charity. XD

  • 28. Which electives would you take? (Alchemy, Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, Muggle Studies, Study of Ancient Runes)

Care of Magical Creatures, Muggle Studies, Study of Ancient Runes.

  • 29. How would you use the marauder’s map?

Probably to find friends when I need them and I can´t figure our where they are on my own. And to sneak out, of course. :D

  • 30. What’s your favorite magical creature?

I never hought about that…although I have a thing for Flying Seahorses.

Thanks for asking! ♥

Had the most wonderful afternoon with the Fellowship of the Moria Cupcake - 

@abschaumno1/ @alexreadsboooks , @skellingcrow and @devilishangel4eva , you always manage to brighten my days. Thanks for being the most awesome of friends!

We went to the movies and watched Star Trek: Beyond (I know I know, I´m late to the party), and what can I say? I LOVED it! :D

Things will get slow on my tumblr!

Alright, just a quick (quick, hahaha) update to let you know that things are going to be slow, or even non-existent, starting this week.

Because, as you may or may not know: I am actually going to restart school on Wednesday. 

And if I´m really honest, each time I think about it I can feel my anxiety level skyrocketing. But a girl´s gotta do what a girl´s gotta do, right?

I have an info reunion Tuesday afternoon, but the actual classes will start on Wednesday morning.

So, what is this all about? The grade I will get  if I pass, that is - is called the Brevet de Technicien Supérieur. Fancy-ass French thingie that even I don´t know how to properly translate, because I have no idea whether there even exists an English equivalent. My course is called Media Writing, and I get to what that entails in just a second, but it´s a two-year course, with a focus on theory in year one, and alterning theory and internships in year two - I believe you could even start with the internships in year 1, but don´t quote me on that. The useful thing about the internships is that they do indeed qualify as work experience, so they will actually be useful for résumés and whatnot.

A friend of mine is starting year two this week - this is actually how I learned about this course. I was just too late to enroll last year. But yeah, she sent me her schedules from last year, and if they are anything like that this year, I´m going to have two language classes (you can choose to focus on English and French, or English and German, or even German and French. Think I picked English and German?), a Coding class (HTML and stuff), Creative Writing, Media History, Media Law (although I think that´s semester 2) - amongst others, but you get the gist of it.

Classes are from Monday to Friday. They start around 08 AM and stop around 04:30 PM. I need about an hour by train to get from my place to there, so…yeah. Do the maths yourselves. I usually don´t need that much sleep, but as long as I don´t know how big the workload is going to be in terms of homework and actual studying or projects, I cannot say for sure how much time I will be able to dedicate to drawing, or to being present online at all. All I know is that I will show up from time to time, because chatting with friends helps me to unwind, and hey - we all know that I can be one hell of a procrastinator. I will try and do my best, but I gotta be honest with myself here. Likewise, I love drawing too much to stop altogether with it; it´s just going to be incredibly slow.

If you wanna know what happened to my university studies, read my dA journal here. It´s the same text as this one here, only with a few extra explanatory paragraphs.

Just letting you lovely people know what´s up if I get quiet. :3

Might reblog this several times so people from different time zones may catch it.


Sweet is rambling back to school I am actually terrified of going back you have no idea

*
Somehow all of my Penguin Classics end up with cracked spines, probably because I bought them for uni and was annoyed because they wouldn’t keep open during seminars until I bent the spines 😅
I realised that I’ve finally learned not to crack the spines on most of my other books though so I guess that’s progress 💪
What are some of your favourite classics? I really enjoyed Jane Eyre, even though I think Rochester is a massive tool and Jane is kind of stupid, the actual book was really good.
