Popcorn Day/Whisper 'I Love You' Day/Tin Can Day/Brew A Potion Day

I keep going to sleep after dinner and forgetting to wake up. Okay, so technically that's because I switch the alarm off when it rings. Consequently, I've put off doing any work whatsoever. Not a bad thing in itself, but I've got an essay due on Monday that I have no idea how to begin. That said, counting money for Somethingood was fun. Skipping school was great, but seeing the amount of money we collected was even better. When we left, the total stood at $27522. Now picture us counting thousands of coins and notes. Indeed, charity is hard work! Why can't banks just be charitable and offer to count collections for free instead of charging a percentage of the donations? After counting for a few hours and having lunch, most of us had to go back to school for CCA Feste. I arrived in time for the last hour, which was fine by me. Mr Purvis says my poetry lacks fire, which is probably referring to the two published in the French magazine and the one he heard at De Profundis. Maybe I should ask him about On A Tuesday Morning, just to see if it really has some sort of appeal.
