Back from Trouville, just in time for this...thing. My grandmother purchased a dress for me. Only it's too large and has to be altered. My mother says she is going to do my hair.

I feel like a dress-up doll.

My grandparents are "surprising" me with a holiday this weekend. I'm grateful, of course, but I had counted on having this weekend to find a flat and get the logistics worked out, so it's poor timing.

I guess all I can do at this point is try and enjoy myself. And yes, you don't have to

Congratulations to everyone.

How is it only Wednesday? This week is dragging on forever.

I had my last interview today. I suppose there's not much left to do now except wait. I'm rather impatient - I'd like to know where I've been placed so I can get my housing situation...situated. I don't like having things up in the air like this.

I don't feel the least bit excited about any of my WEI prospects. I know I should. I should be looking forward to starting my career, but I'm just overwhelmed. There's too much to think about, too much that could go wrong.

I feel so alone, even though I know I'm not. My grandparents have always been supportive, and always will be. And I have friends. Sort of. But it doesn't feel like enough.

It's pouring rain here at my grandparents' house. Such a dreary day.

Why didn't the Ministry just include the instructions on warding things private when they sent the journals to us? It seems horribly inefficient to send an owl to everyone a day later.

I don't really know what I'm supposed to write in here. I suppose I'm not one for gushing or sharing excessive information on my personal life.

But I suppose something should be written.

I'm thinking that I'm going to move to Camden once I have my WEI placement. Where is everyone else considering?
