I am very much enjoying summer this year, more than normal. Having time to read and study what I want to learn- well, I suppose need to learn is more suitable- is great. School is wonderful and all but really there is a lot that I can't get there with what I intend to do with my life. Making wands is what Ollivanders do, what we've always done, and so while it's great to learn about magical creatures, I don't know that I need it outside of learning magical properties. Not that the animals are anything less than fascinating, honestly, and I think that might be among my favourite classes. Uncle is letting me work in the back this year, so I am able to create finally instead of just reciting back the qualities of the various wand woods and cores.
