Can anyone tell me why we have classes so early?

If we started later than maybe I could stay awake longer in class. And it means lunch time would be earlier!

And am I the only one who thinks third year homework is just really hard? I wish I could go back to the homework I had in first year.

Ah, so you're just lazy.

Tell me, what would be the use in schooling if we were never pushed past our self-perceived limits? You're not going to learn bugger all if the homework is always easy.

[bundangos]

Wow, mean and grumpy.

Not everyone wants to be pushed! Some of us just want to live the easy life.

My face is too cute to me keep it locked away in a book!

[rule_britannia]

Well aren't you just the pinnacle of psychological evaluation. No, really, I'm so impressed.

Apparently you're lazy and vain. What charming qualities.

[bundangos]

Hey! Now you're just being rude.

I'm also really nice and caring, unlike some people! Animals love me too.

[rule_britannia]

Mm.. because calling someone 'mean and grouchy' isn't rude at all, now is it? You should be careful of the standards you're holding other people to - you seem to be falling short of them.

[bundangos]

It's worse for you, because boys aren't meant to be mean to girls!

And I have great standards! When people are nice to me, I'm nice to them back. And you are the one who started being rude to me, Mister!

[rule_britannia]

Good lord. The days of Medieval chivalry called. I think they miss you.

Those standards are a mite one-sided, don't you think? I might be a perfectly nice person. You insulted me first.

[bundangos]

Hey, that was actually funny.

No I didn't! You called me a disappointment!

[rule_britannia]

Amazing, isn't it - I actually have a sense of humour.

And no, I didn't. I was referring to your apparent lack of desire to improve your intellect. I'd find that a disappointing trait in anyone.

[bundangos]

I think you should use it more often!!

But it's still calling me a disappointment!

[rule_britannia]

I'll keep that in mind.



Hm. I suppose it did rather come across that way. I apologise.

[bundangos]

It's okay!

I mean I was sort of complaining. It didn't upset me at all, okay!?

[rule_britannia]

Very well.

But I wouldn't be so verbal with your complaints. Some of the professors may just set you more difficult assignments.

[bundangos]

Oh no! You don't think they really would do you?!

[rule_britannia]

I wouldn't write it off as an impossibility.

[bundangos]

No! They can't do that! I will die!

Mama will yell at me if I get more homework that I get bad marks on!

[rule_britannia]

You won't die, don't be so ridiculous.

You're just going to have to work harder if you don't want to be shouted at.

[bundangos]

But I hate studying. It's B O R I N G.

If I study all this time I miss out on doing fun things.

[rule_britannia]

Would you rather fail?

[bundangos]

[Long pause.]

No.

[rule_britannia]

Then I suggest you learn to better manage your time.

You can still have fun and not fail your classes, you know.

[bundangos]

But how?!

[rule_britannia]

Manage your time, as I said. If you're struggling now you're going to have a hell of a struggle when it gets to your O.W.L.s.

Think of the time you put aside to have fun as a reward to yourself for getting your homework done.

Whatever works for you.

[bundangos]

That sounds really hard and complicated.

Can't someone else make a timetable for me?

[rule_britannia]

Someone might, if you ask around.
