Astronomy

[alt_sally_anne]

I find that the evening we stay up late for Astronomy is usually a very productive time to get homework done. I think it helps that I have this long, uninterrupted time and don't have to think, 'should I leave off and go to bed?' since I have to stay up late anyway.

It's awfully chilly out tonight.

I don't even know what to say about yesterday other than thank you to all the people who try to keep us safe. I think all of us really do appreciate all your work and efforts. I know that sometimes you might not be planning to work (you might be visiting a sick friend, for instance) but when you're called you go and do your best. Sometimes, probably, no one even hears about it, but other times it makes all the difference in the world.

Michael, I'm sorry I didn't tell you what was going on.

I should have thought of you. As someone I could ask. I didn't, because I guess -- you're someone I have fun with, and I wanted you to think of me that way, too. Not as someone pathetic who needs protection. And I didn't want to be a bother because I HATE being a bother.

But I should have at least told you what was going on, because you could have offered, and it -- Yeah. Anyway.

I'm sorry.

So don't forget, we're meeting in the secret room tonight -- I think we said ten.

Everyone has to be there to do the linking spell.

There is something about the quiet late at night when most other people have finished for the day, isn't there? I get much of my best work done between nine and eleven.

Really, though, I'm writing about the chill. It is extremely brisk out there, so I've already asked the house-elves to make sure to have some warm tea when we come back in, and the fire in my office is going strong if anyone needs to stop in and warm up.

The wind's up, too, so we may not stay out terribly long: it'll rather depend on whether we can take notes and discuss without the pages blowing off.
