Somebody curse microscopes to HELL!!! screams in frustration we had a practical quiz today: focusing... I couldn't bloody see anything!!! AAAARRRGGH!!! HMP!!!
Anyway, to my reviewers who always manage to make me happy; Ü:
Sammy Baggins: Ah, well, that depends on you guys!!! Do you guys want him to??? ÜÜÜ Always remember: In this story, it depends on who you want...
kileejade: Oh, thank you!!! hehe I think I got over the 'bad feeling' stage after I stay up late... LOL
JKRFan4Life: There's more on the Pensieve in a future chapter, which I had just finished writing!!! Yay
dobbyfan18: Oh, it's okay!!! No offense taken... Ü Which Malfoy??? LOL Ü You'll find out their intents soon enough... oh yeah, I also have a Victoria in class, but she's not that bad... some others are, though bitter smile yeah, I know... fitting, isn't it??? Harry was like that in Book 5, so I just thought to incorporate a bit of that in here... it's boring when a character is too good or something; we need to throw in a bit of variety!!! Weird, huh??? That was also what I was thinking while writing and typing those chapters!!! hehe
Okay, so now I'm feeling better!!! After all, it was just a stupid microscope... lol
Chapter 10: Letters to You (rock fans should know this; it's by Finch ÜÜÜ)
The week passed uneventfully... too uneventful, in Hermione's opinion. She was wondering what new prank the Marauders were plotting, then it suddenly hit her that she might be their target, cause they were pissed off with her. They were practically avoiding each other, putting as much as 10 feet away between them and her. More, in fact; they think 10 feet is still too near. Lily kept her company, though. At first, Lily explained why the boys were acting stupid and warned Hermione to be careful with Lucius, but Hermione said she would be fine, that she knew someone a lot like him before back in her time (3 guesses who it is Ü). So they just dropped the subject, and focused on other stuff. The Marauders' fan club wasn't mean to her anymore cause Hermione wasn't hanging around them anymore. In class, Sebastian sometimes sat with her, and Brian sat with her and Lily during meals. Of course, Sebastian and Brian's fan clubs were mad at Hermione about that, but they weren't stupid enough to do what Victoria did. It was soon news around the school that until Tuesday morning, she was working as Filch's apprentice after classes and dinner. So that took care of the fan clubs.
Hermione had received letters from Harry, Ron and Draco. Harry was mad that she was slapped, but thought that Hermione's 2 new friends were funny. Ron was also mad at the slap, but sympathetic about her situation. He made her laugh a lot in his letter. Draco expressed his surprise at what Hermione told him. He assured her that he told no one else. He was sad that she was lonely, and offered to fall into the Abyss to be with her. Hermione laughed at that, then quickly wrote replies.
It was Saturday morning. Hermione took a bath, fixed up and went down to the Great Hall. She was in the Entrance Hall when Lucius was walking up the steps from the dungeons.
"Emma!"
"Lucius," Hermione said, waiting for him to catch up.
"Look, um, about Hogsmeade -" Lucius started to say but someone arrived behind him.
"Hello," Narcissa said. "I'm Narcissa Black, Lucius' fiancée."
"Pleased to meet you," Hermione said. "I'm Emma Felton. I must be going now; I might miss out on breakfast. Bye!" she said and walked to the Great Hall.
--
Lucius gripped Narcissa's arm tightly. "Ouch – why are you hurting me?!" Narcissa wailed.
"You ruined my plans, you stupid girl!" Lucius hissed as he pulled her to a deserted secret passageway near the Slytherin common room.
"What do you mean?" whimpered Narcissa. Lucius let go, and glowered at her.
"I was supposed to find out where she's from. I was supposed to befriend her, and find out where she's really from. When I had, or hoped to find out," he said coldly, glaring at Narcissa. Narcissa glared right back. "I could gauge if she was good for our side or not. But because of you, my dear fiancée," he said sarcastically, "you ruined the plan." He left Narcissa there to go to the Great Hall.
"Lucius, you prat," Narcissa whispered once he had left. "It's so obvious that she's all for the good side... hanging about Potter and company... if I didn't know better, I would've believed you, but I do..." She pulled herself together and walked to the Great Hall.
--
Hermione was joined by Brian, Sebastian and Lily at the table, and they chatted all during breakfast. Soon they all stood up to go to Hogsmeade. Sebastian said he was going with his friends, and so was Brian. They learned Hermione was going with Lucius, but didn't mind. It was her life anyway. They didn't know she was going solo now; if they did, they would have invited her to join their groups.
"Hey Lily," James said, completely ignoring Hermione. "Ready to go?"
Hermione looked surprised; Lily explained. "I was dared by Mia to go with him," she said, grimacing. "See you later!" Lily called as she was tugged out of the Great Hall by James. Sebastian and Brian got up, muttering something about allowing Hermione to have some privacy with Lucius.
"You two gits!" Hermione said, laughing. The guys smirked, then left. She was going to leave the Great Hall when Lucius walked up to her.
"Um, Lucius, forget about going with me. Narcissa will get angry," Hermione said quickly.
"Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about her," Lucius said, grabbing her hand. 'As if I would have!'
"What the hell were you thinking, asking me out when you had a fiancée?! Git," Hermione said, then turned on her heel and went to Hogsmeade alone. (You tell him!!! ÜÜÜ)
--
(This next part was written like this cause I was kind of like a loner that day, I guess Ü lol Ü)
Hermione aimlessly walked along High Street. She bought some stuff for Harry, Ron and Draco, thinking they'd be interested in stuff from the past or at least, like them. She couldn't say the same thing about Ron's gift, though. He would probably freak. When she had bought everything she needed and wanted to (which weren't a lot), she walked out to the stile at the very end of High Street, out in the countryside. She sat on the stile, not wanting to go past it, because it was very rocky. She didn't know how long she'd been sitting there, but after a while, she felt like going to the Three Broomsticks. She entered, got a butterbeer, and sat at a table the farthest from the door. She sat near the window; and from the angle of a person who had just entered the place, he wouldn't see her.
--
The 3 Marauders entered, discussing James and Lily.
"Not yet done with their date, huh?" Remus said, smiling.
"Yeah... I have to give Mia credit for that... she made James so happy," Sirius said. "Anyway, back to business. Are you guys sure we hadn't forgotten to buy anything for our next prank?"
"I'm sure; I've triple-checked," Remus said.
"So, we use these to -"
"Yes, Peter, we've been over this 27 times. Now please order us some butterbeers and we'll find a table."
Sirius and Remus edged toward the only 'empty' table. "Ah, thank goodness we found an empty – Emma?" Remus asked.
"Thought you and Malfoy would choose a more secluded place," Sirius snapped, glaring at Hermione.
"I'm not with Lucius," said Hermione quietly, into her lonely moods again (cause her friends were in the present and all that Ü hehe). She took a sip of her butterbeer. The two were surprised.
Peter arrived. "Here's the butterbeer!" he said. He noticed Hermione, and his eyes widened in surprise, but ignored her. Hermione didn't notice that though; she was facing the window.
"I came here alone; I just found out Lucius has a fiancée named Narcissa," Hermione continued. "What a bastard. Oh well, as if I liked him," she said, with a small smile. She stood up. "I have to go; I want to write to my friends."
"Emma -" Sirius started to say, but Hermione had already left.
--
Hermione ran all the way back up to her room, which was a very long route. (wow Ü) When she arrived, she felt so tired from all the running, so she flung herself on her bed and promptly fell asleep. (Zzz... Ü)
--
Lily and the Marauders were walking back to Hogsmeade.
"How come you didn't know that, Sirius?" Peter asked.
"Well, I ran away last summer, remember? And besides, I didn't and don't care if that twit got engaged to whoever," Sirius answered.
"So what do we do? Befriend her again?"
"Befriend her again?!" Lily exclaimed. "You can't just befriend her again after dissing her choices! You should apologize first, say you don't care whom she befriends or dates anymore!"
"Easy for you to say, Lily," Peter said, "but one of us is smitten with the great Emma Felton."
"Come – on, you guys are still sticking to that cheap excuse?! We all know it's a lie, so give it up!" Lily said angrily and marched up to Hogwarts.
"PMS?" James asked.
"Probably," said Remus, shrugging.
"What's PMS?" asked Peter, confused.
Sirius sighed. "We have to enlighten him," he said. They walked up to the castle, the 3 Marauders telling Peter what PMS is. (LOL ÜÜÜ)
--
Lily knocked on Hermione's dorm door. "Come in!" Hermione said. Lily walked into her room.
"Hey," Lily said. "What are you doing?"
"Writing letters to Harry, Ron and Draco." Hermione flattened the stuff she bought at Hogsmeade and attached them to the letters. "There! The letters are ready now." She turned to Lily. "So, how was your date?"
Lily flushed. "It wasn't a date! It was a dare!"
Hermione laughed. "A date is a date!" (That line's not mine; it's from Glitter with Mariah Carey... I didn't watch it, but my sister bought the OST... hmp! Oh well, at least I have a catchy line here Ü lol Ü)
"Whatever... I just think it wasn't a date, okay?"
"Why? What'd you guys do?"
"Rode in the carriages... took a walk around Hogsmeade... bought some stuff... ate at this lovely new place..."
"Which would be?"
"Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop..."
"Go on," Hermione encouraged.
"Joined the other Marauders... which reminds me..."
"Yeah? What?" Hermione asked curiously.
"The guys wanna say sorry to you."
"Really?"
"Yeah... but I told them they shouldn't just say sorry and then berate you about your dates or whatever again."
"Yeah... beside, do they think I'm stupid?! I know Malfoy's a jerk, okay? Even though he acted nice to me last Monday, I -"
"He acted WHAT to you?!"
"Nice, but even though he acted that way, I know he isn't really nice. I mean, after what he did to -" Hermione abruptly cut off her sentence. She had almost said something about the future.
"Forget it," Hermione said quickly. "If I say anything, something might happen... and not in a good way." 'As if things are great in the present!' Hermione thought. She sighed.
"Okay." They chatted for a while about classes (Typical, Hermione makes a face lol Ü), teachers, and the activities last week. Soon...
"knock"
"Who could that be?" Hermione mused out loud. She opened the door. James and Sirius had a sheepish grin on their faces; Peter was looking up at the ceiling and Remus was looking at the ground. (Weird when you're on broomsticks... it's better when you're on your feet, right??? Just imagine sitting on a broomstick then looking up at the ceiling or ground!!! Kinda stupid ÜÜÜ hahahahaha Ü) Hermione let them enter; they zoomed in on their broomsticks. The Marauders got off their brooms and walked toward the bed, where Hermione and Lily were seated.
Remus was the first to speak. "Emma... we're really sorry if we overreacted when you said you were going with Lucius... it's just that, well, Lucius is not that... good."
"Yeah, he's a wannabe Death Eater," Sirius said. "As our way of saying sorry, we'd like to teach you to defend yourself against scum like him. (Hel-lo, is that a good enough 'making up to her' compromise?!) Cause if he tried anything -"
"Guys. I know you're concerned, but I can handle him just fine. I've faced the likes of him before in -" This was the second time Hermione had to stop talking before she revealed the future for them.
"In where?" asked Peter, curious.
"In school!" Hermione said, thinking quickly. "Actually, by the lake. He acted nice to me -"
"What?!"
"but I bet he was planning something. I mean, a Slytherin taking a liking to a Gryffindor? It's fishy, if you ask me. But let's get back to my point a while ago. I – can – take – care – of – myself," Hermione said, stressing each word. "I was able to get past the giant squid, remember? Malfoy's a piece of cake compared to the giant squid."
"I told you guys she wouldn't accept our offer," Remus said.
"Right. Which is why we brought... these!" James said, pulling out a big bouquet of flowers. "For you, Mademoiselle Emma... courtesy of the Marauders. And of course, here is a little present for Mademoiselle Lily from me," he said gallantly, pulling out a much larger bouquet. Hermione accepted the flowers, and after Hermione looked at her as if to say 'Accept the stupid flowers already so he stops!', Lily sighed and took the bouquet from James. James was pleased and started grinning like an idiot. Remus rolled his eyes and handed Hermione a humongous block of Honeydukes chocolate.
"And here... those are our other ways of saying sorry... we know it's not enough, but it's a start."
"Yeah... thanks, guys... and hello? It was just Lucius! I forgive you," Hermione said, finally breaking into a smile. She hugged the Marauders.
"Now James, wipe that stupid grin off your face and go make sure that your newest prank will go according to plan."
"How did you know?" asked James, letting her go.
"If you ask me, last week was pretty uneventful. I know you guys take that long a time to prepare something. But please, don't pick on Sebastian or Brian anymore."
The guys looked at each other; all of them thinking, 'Do we have to?!'
"Aw man, we were supposed to do our prank on them!" Peter whined, garnering glares from everybody else in the room. (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ÜÜÜ) Hermione was thinking quickly. If she wanted to convince the others to stop their pranks on her friends, then she should play along with their excuse, which is what she did.
She continued speaking. "Sebastian and Brian are only friends. I don't like them the way their fan club does; which means I'm not romantically interested in them. I'd rather have them as friends. Besides, they don't see me that way, you know. So maybe someone could stop acting like a jealous boyfriend now, hmm?" 'I hope this works,' she thought.
Remus, Peter and James all looked over at Sirius at the same time.
'Act, blast it! Or the whole thing will blow over! If you admit you just did that to piss the idiots off, she'd get even more mad at us!' James thought desperately. He grinned at Sirius, nudging him.
"Are you sure you're friends?" Sirius asked crossly. James' nudge was quite painful.
"Did you hear what I just said?" Hermione asked, reverting back into the Ice Queen.
"Yeah, but I was just making sure, you know."
"Yes, I'm sure they're friends. Now will you guys stop picking on them?"
"I agree to not playing pranks on them anymore," said Remus.
"Same here."
"Ditto, but we can't say the same about Mr. Black over here..." James trailed off meaningfully.
"Fine; I promise not to play pranks on Sebastian du Grey and Brian Fuller anymore, Marauder's oath. Are you happy now?"
"A bit too extreme, Padfoot," James said, but was happy cause they wouldn't have to face her wrath, even if it meant giving up on pranking the two 'Hogwarts Pretty Boys', as he and the Marauders had dubbed just last night.
"Immensely," said Hermione. She hugged Sirius. "Thank you. Oh yeah, where did you guys get the idea for Sebastian's 'makeover'?"
"From you, where else?" James said, grinning.
"Huh?"
"Remember when we checked out your makeup? That's where we got the idea," said Remus. (And now you see the purpose of the makeup lesson!!! ÜÜÜ) "Since you gave Lily a makeover, we also decided to give someone else a makeover, so..."
"You guys are crazy!!!"
"But it was funny, wasn't it? Okay, okay, we're sorry!" Sirius said hastily at the look on Hermione's face.
"I know," Hermione sighed. "It was just really crazy..."
"Well, what can I say? You've met the Marauders (like, 'now you know us!')," said James. The 4 guys grinned at her. After a while, Hermione had no choice but to grin back.
In the present...
Harry, Ron and Draco were reading in the Department of Mysteries library just after dinner. Draco abruptly shut his book closed.
"Malfoy, what, are you tired already?"
"No, I just thought of writing to Hermione. She told me in her last letter she's pretty lonely... I just thought of cheering her up."
At that precise second, an Unspeakable arrived with letters for them. They took their respective letters and the Unspeakable left. They immediately tore into their letters when they saw Hermione's neat handwriting.
Hi Harry!
sigh Like I said before, I'm so utterly bored here. There's just no excitement here! I think the Marauders are plotting something, I just don't know what. Anyway, I'd just come from Hogsmeade, so here's a little present (not past??? hehehe) from me to you! I hope you like it... these are amazingly common, and not so popular in this time, but now these are rare, right? So here, take good care of it!
Hermione
Enclosed was a beautiful reddish-gold phoenix quill. (Oh, how I'd love to have that... Ü) Harry gaped.
"What'd you get, Harry?" Ron asked, looking at Harry's hands.
"Oh wow..." Ron breathed.
"What'd you get?" Ron handed Harry his letter.
Oi Ron,
Hello! I'm really sorry about the huge amount of work you guys have to do... but it'll train you in researching. ("Typical, Hermione," Harry muttered. Ron and Draco snickered.) I'm actually furious at the amount of work I'm missing! How am I supposed to catch up when I come back? I hope the teachers give me an extension on homework! Oh well... sigh I feel like I'm taking 5th year all over again... the lessons covered in 5th year are the lessons we're covering right now.
Anyway, here's a little something I saw in Hogsmeade and just had to get for you! I'm not being mean or anything; I thought it might help you overcome your fear. Just unfold and unflatten it. Got to go!
Hermione
"What'd Hermione give?" Draco asked Ron. Ron held up a huge stuffed spider, which was horribly realistic (hahaha!!! ÜÜÜ).
Draco burst out laughing. "You're – afraid – of – spiders?" Draco asked Ron in between laughs.
Ron glared. "Shut it, Malfoy," he said through clenched teeth.
"If I know Malfoy, you're pretty scared of something..."
"Like what, Potter?"
"Forests?"
"..."
"Aw, is widdle Malfoy afwaid of fowests?"
"Shut up, Weasley!"
Ron guffawed. "What'd Hermione say to you, Malfoy?" asked Harry, snatching his letter.
"Hey!" Draco protested, but it was too late; Harry was already reading it out loud.
Hey Draco,
I ended up going to Hogsmeade alone today Ü I just found out the git's already engaged in this time. Talk about a lifesaver! Whew... Oh, here's a gift I bought at Hogsmeade for you. It'll repel anything or anyone you don't like. When it/he/she goes too near (but not enough to reach you), a force field will be activated, and the thing or person will fly back 20 feet away. Cool, isn't it? I thought you might need it for Pansy, hehe. Just unflatten it. I just hope Harry and Ron aren't repelled. Oh, I just remembered... who did you choose as Head Girl? I hope she's capable. That's all for now!
Hermione
Harry and Ron looked at the object in Draco's hand. There was a simple, small, smooth silver stone hanging from a cord. Draco wore it.
"Wow, good thing we weren't blasted off our feet, huh?"
"Well, we have a truce, Potter, so you won't be blasted off your feet for a while."
"Who are you choosing as Head Girl, Malfoy?"
"No one."
"No one, but Dumbledore -"
"I can handle all Head duties by myself; I don't want any stupid bint messing up my work," Draco said with a touch of arrogance.
Ron and Harry rolled their eyes; and Harry clapped his hands twice. "Okay, break for a while; let's just write to Hermione now. Our brains are too overloaded now to process anymore of the stuff we read."
In the past...
Hermione was in her room, reviewing the list of plants they were supposed to collect when Nearly Headless Nick glided in, disregarding the Imperturbable Charm, which doesn't have an effect on ghosts (or at least I think so Ü).
"Miss Granger, here are letters from your friends."
"Thank you, Sir Nick!"
"Miss Granger, I was wondering..."
"Yes?"
"Are you now friends with Mr...."
"Malfoy? Yes, Sir Nick."
"Really? Good for you!" Sir Nick praised. "Inter-House relations, you know."
"Sir Nick, only you would think of Inter-House relations with the Slytherins," Hermione said jokingly. Sir Nick gave her a look, but smiled when he saw she was joking.
"But I do find it weird... didn't he hate you before?" he said thoughtfully.
"Hmm... now that you said that, I'm wondering why he really wanted to be my friend. I think I'll just ask him when I go back."
"Of course, it could always be because..." Sir Nick trailed off meaningfully, with a little 'I know something you don't' smile.
"Sir Nick, have you been reading romance novels?!" Hermione asked, bewildered.
"I didn't say anything of the sort!" Sir Nick said, laughing at her expression. "Well, I must be going... the Fat Friar and I have a wizards' chess tournament!"
"Goodnight, Sir Nick. And good luck with the game!"
"Thank you, my dear, and goodnight to you too."
Sir Nick left and Hermione eagerly opened the letters.
Hello Hermia!
Thank you for the pendant... I do think I'll be able to use it against Pansy smirks haha. I'm happy to know that you didn't go out with my father anymore... (I wonder why??? LOL ÜÜÜ) so he was already engaged to my mother then? I didn't know that...
I laughed when I saw what you gave Weasley. So he's afraid of spiders? Hmm... smirks
You know what? You haven't changed at all. You're still thinking of homework right now?! smirks I won't comment on that, though.
To answer your question, no, I haven't chosen anyone and I will not. No one's good enough; if I appoint any of the airheads here, they might screw up all the work I'm going to do! So I'm just trying to ask for your advice through letters. Besides, I know it's killing you that you're not Head Girl there, so that's another reason why I'm not temporarily replacing you.
My brain has temporarily decomposed from all the reading we've done; good thing Potter here called a break. We still have our essay to do; and when we go back to school, our homework, Quidditch, and Head duties for me; but I'm fine with all of that. If I have to stop sleeping just to get through all of the books to bring you back, then I would! haha
yawn I'm sleepy, so goodnight.
Missing you lots, Draco
Hermione smiled at Draco's thoughtfulness. 'He actually remembered me, and he didn't appoint anyone as a replacement!' she thought with a grin. She opened another letter.
Oi Hermione,
You know what? Your 'little' gift creeped me out! It's terribly realistic! Sure, I don't mind dead spiders, but the ones we use in Potions are small; this is HUGE! shudders
Anyway, Hermione, you're somewhere else and all you can still think of is homework?! Typical... shakes head in pity Joke only, Hermione!
There's not much to tell here... we haven't found a way back yet... but we're working on it. In the meantime, just focus on your studies there rolls eyes Bye!
Still slightly miffed at the spider but still missing you, Ron
Hermione laughed. 'Now if only someone would think of bewitching it to move...' She picked up Harry's letter and opened it.
Hi Hermione!
I'm using the phoenix feather quill now; thank you for the wonderful gift. Ü I was just wondering why Ron and I didn't get pendants like Malfoy did; we're the ones who always attract trouble, right? Ü ("Oh yeah! Hermione said. She made a mental note to buy one each for the 3 of them the next time she went back to Hogsmeade.)
Oi Hermione, why didn't you tell us (me and Ron) more about the guy who asked you out?!... Just wondering...
I guess that's all for now... till next letter!
Feeling incomplete without you, Harry
Hermione laughed, and also got sad. 'So am I... I'm feeling incomplete cause they're not here...' she thought sadly. 'Oh well... they'll find a way for me to get back in 5 ½ months.' She bewitched the letters again (you already know what she does, so I won't elaborate ÜÜÜ), and put them away in her trunk. She continued reviewing the plants, and after a while, she fell asleep.
In the present...
Harry, Ron and Draco were walking back to the dormitories late in the evening. Without a word, Harry and Ron walked into their dorm and Draco into his. After a few seconds, Draco walked back out. He walked into Harry and Ron's dorm and saw that everyone was asleep, except for Harry and Ron. Draco guessed they were in the shower room (there's a changing room or something like that in the shower room Ü hehe Ü) cause they weren't in the room. Draco looked around for Ron's bed, and saw the stuffed spider on it. (evil grin Ü) He bewitched it so the moment Ron would wake up, the spider would start moving just like a real spider. (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! evil grin) He smirked and quickly exited the dorm so Ron and Harry wouldn't catch him in the act. He went to bed shortly after changing into his pajamas. He looked over at Hermione's empty bed and sighed before falling asleep.
--
Harry and Ron walked out of the shower room, and climbed into their beds.
"Some gift Hermione gave me, eh," Ron said, making Harry snicker. (Oh, just wait until it moves! evil grin) "At least she gave you something useful; she gave me a stupid spider! And Malfoy was laughing himself stupid," Ron growled.
"She was just thinking of you, Ron," Harry consoled. "She just thought it might help you."
"Help me, huh?! I'm going to sleep. Goodnight."
"Night, Ron."
The 2 of them fell asleep, unaware of what was going to happen tomorrow.
--
Yes!!! I'm done with Chapter 10!!! does a little dance YAY!!! ÜÜÜ sigh... my elder sister woke me up at 4:30 in the morning just to ask if what she was wearing looked good on her... she had gone through 8 tops, 3 pairs of pants and 2 pairs of shoes!!! LOL Ü well, it wasn't that funny when she woke me up... but oh well... then a while ago we were lying on the bed, thinking... "What are we gonna wear tomorrow???" and I was like, "We need to shop some more..." hahahahahahahaha!!!
Okay, so it wasn't as long as the other chapters, but I wrote this at the start of the school year... so there...
Haha the next chapter is funny!!! Ü lol Ü the 1st part at least... hehehehehe
So now you guys know what the makeup stuff was for... a prank!!! LOL Ü hehehe I needed to be quite ingenious and I came up with that!!!
Oh yeah, about the audition??? I went in, and the paper adviser was in there. She asked, "Oh, so you're going to try out for the paper, huh?"
"Yes."
"Oh, very good! What year are you in?"
"1st year."
"Oh, very good!"
I would've laughed, but she gave me two questions two answer, and I had only 3 and a half hours to complete them... it took me 2and a half hours to complete my essays, and an hour to write them all down... to tell you guys the truth, I just wrote down yada yada stuff for the essays (hahaha!!! ÜÜÜ) nah, in the 1st essay, it was about the socioeconomic and political situation of the country, so I wrote facts and my point of view, cause that's what I guess they look for: your ability to present facts and give an opinion, but not too biased. In the second one, it asked me to describe myself as a student. Pretty easy, the second one Ü hehe Ü but somehow, I still think I won't be part of the editorial board... cause the adviser asked for at least 2 to 5 pages for the 1st essay; I turned in 2. For the second essay, 1 to 2 pages, and I submitted 1. But my ideas were pretty concise, because I think that in papers or journals or magazines or whatever, people don't like reading long stuff that keep going around and around. It's better if it's concise, right??? ÜÜÜ oh well, if I won't be part of the paper's board, then fine... at least I had dared to!!! lol Ü if I do get accepted (which is by a long shot for me), then I'll thank you guys every new chapter for encouraging me!!! hahahahaha
What else??? My Bio1 class was kind of okay... we had a lecture, then our group did a post discussion about our first lab activity, which was easy. I just didn't like it when these snooty girls (kinda like Victoria in this story...) were kind of like, "What again?" HMP!!! But our teacher praised us anyway cause it was well explained!!! Well, I researched the answers; of course we would be great!!! lol ÜÜÜ Those girls... they act nice to you, but when you turn your back it's like, "Hey, guess what, she's like this, like that... badmouthing" you know??? That's why my friends and I are working hard in class, to beat them Ü I guess that's also the reason why I planned on joining an org... so I could show them I was active not only in class... ÜÜÜ They can really piss you off at times... problem is, they (about 10) of them have got almost half the class wrapped around their fingers... oh well... pretty depressing... but sometimes, I just feel like laughing at them sometimes cause no matter how they try, their English is quite... how do you put this??? Funny... ÜÜÜ but if I laugh, I'll get sucked into a catfight!!! Well at least in a catfight, I could openly diss them!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! ÜÜÜ I guess that's all for now in the life of Rochena... night, guys!!!
Ü rochena
