The time of year when mental breakdowns happen left and right. I'm pretty sure that I've overheard a dozen hysterical phone calls where students are telling their friends or family that they are just not cut out for college.
Personally, I just think I'm not taking the right courses. I would probably ace Transfiguration, and Care of Magical Creatures would certainly boost my GPA. I mean, OU offers a Star Wars course. Why not Hogwarts, A History?
I would much rather be conjuring a Patronus than memorizing ancient Mesopotamian kings. Besides, it is way more likely that I will run into a Dementor than use that useless bit of information.
I would happily suggest a few classes to the administration
Here is the lesson plan:
Defense Against the Dark Arts - Chapter 20
Conjuring a Patronus:
Step 1) Stay Calm and take your wand in your hand
Step 2) Think of a happy thought. Any happy little thought.
Step 3) Say the words EXPECTO PATRONUM (eks-PEK-toh pə-TROH-nəm) clearly and with the proper emphasis.
A silver mist should dissipate from your wand. With practice, this mist should take form of an animal such as a rabbit, stag, or hedgehog.
That is so much more appealing than my syllabi.
Writing for Mass Media
This semester the goal of this course is to:
1) Make you wonder if you will ever be happy again
2) Make your life a bazzillion times harder than it already is
3) Require you to question your sanity every bloody day
After Writing for Mass Media class I can't stand the format of theDaily Prophet. It's not AP style!
And don't even get me started on Reeta Skeeter. She doesn't use the inverted pyramid.
