Did I ever mention that this year has an exponential increase in work because of OWLs? Because there is more work this year than all the previous years added up. We had just gotten off of Easter break, a break that I stayed at the school. A part of me wants to say it was mainly to help my friends, but it truly to hide from my parents. I don’t know what changed between now and Christmas. I was more willing to tell them everything then. That said, I still helped my friends study. Which then became more stressful since we will be starting OWLs soon. Times like these made me really grateful for my eidetic memory. Seeing students in my year studying like crazy made me realize just how gifted I was in that regard. It didn’t mean I didn’t study, I just had to study less. Far less based on what I have seen.
