Well, the career day was certainly most illuminating although not in a good way. It was as interesting to see the wide range of careers that people's families do as much as anything else, and of course, my parents were there in one of the Ministry of Magic booths. Father works in international diplomacy and Mother for the Wizengamot Administration Services back in France, so she was helping with the international area instead. I am still not entirely sure what I want to do after the TOAD exams. Actually, I do, but I don't think I can get there Hopefully I will be able to make a firm decision before we all return home.
On a personal front, I have completed both putting together my gala outfitagain, nothing I can really show off there... or rather, I have no-one to dress up for and my first term's projects. I did a piece of art textiles in the form of a large drape, which is about the size of one of the bed covers here at Hogwarts. I took a photo of a close-up section, but it is similarly replicated all over the whole design, because I've been experimenting with details, particularly beading.

I also completed an oversized knitted tunic that I have been making. The weather is obviously much warmer in the south of France, so it is nice to be able to get back into the habit of making knitwear again, as that is my particular area of expertise.

Now to think of what my next projects shall be - but as I have the lovely books that my friends bought for my birthday, I will definitely be able to get stuck into brainstorming ideas over the holidays.

I think it will be good to show the other schools that we indeed live up to our billing. Also, Elodie, I am very happy that that silly (yet lovely) boy has finally asked you to go to the gala with him. It was about time.
Is anyone else attending with a particular person?I'm not
