Second Beat
A public service announcement, since it seems that all of you are extremely in need of the reminder:
There is less than a month left of school.
(You're welcome.)
To be precise, there are twenty-three days left. Slightly more than three weeks. Only seven of those are exams, so approximately 30% of our remaining days will be spent in torture.
In terms of hours, it's even less. 23 days is 552 hours. There are 40 total hours of exams remaining. Comparatively, that means 7% of our time, and all of it before the end of May.
I could compare that to the amount of time in your lifespan, or that the universe has existed, but I don't want to write that many fucking decimals.
It will be over soon. Don't give yourselves aneurysms.

You'll have to be more specific, English.
Reminding you that there's not that much time left, even when we're a quarter of the way through exams?
no subject
Giving us all these jumbled numbers that make no sense outside of the mind of a genius like yourself.
Nevermind that its distracting...
What happens to fifth years that dont pass their owls?
no subject
The point was simply to emphasize how little of our time will actually be taken up by exams.
Anyway, if you weren't looking for a distraction, why are you in your journal?
My guess is that they stay fifth years until they can.
That might be a question to ask your actual head of house, English.
no subject
Though the same could be asked of yourself i think!!
I think i was being facetious to be honest.
I mean the logical answer would be that they would remain in the year until they pass the test to advance to the next.
I dont want to be a fifth year forever!!
no subject
I provided.
Although in some cases I suppose this looks exactly the same as studying.
That's impossible.
You'd die eventually.
no subject
And id die as a fifth year which would result in my being as such for forever for me because forever goes until you stop and dying counts as stopping doesnt it??
Aaaaugh dirk i dont want to die a fifth year.
no subject
There is an extremely low chance that you will die a fifth year.
Unless you die before the school year ends, which still does not have a high possibility of happening.
no subject
You dont know that! You havent seen my studying habits or my marks recently. Theyve been so subpar im just so worried dirk.
no subject
What, are you too busy making out in a closet to study?
If you're worried, bro, you know you can ask to study with me.
no subject
Pffft not hardly! You know me better than that im still afraid to hold your sisters bloody hand.
Though if youre up to the challenge of dealing with me trying to study i do suppose i would be much obliged to borrow your grey matter.
no subject
I suppose I can manage that, considering I have enough time to write up all this and still be unconcerned about my study schedule.
Anything in particular you're needing to focus on?
no subject
I am beyond envious of your intelligence you have no idea.
Im absolute rubbish at ancient runes in particular and i know it holds a good percentage of importance on the owls...
Your brother helped me with it too but i figure theres no such thing as too much studying with a bloke like me.
no subject
Between us I'm certain we can get you up to par.
Have no fear, English, you're in safe hands.
