    According to my mother, I have been 'unsociable' lately. Which really means that she thinks I'm spending too much time in my room, reading. I can't see how she expects me to pay visits to my friends when I have to bring little Corisande along with me. Most of my friends have no younger siblings for her to play with, and even if they do, she grows terribly annoying at a frightening pace. Of course, she's a little darling at home, so neither of my parents believe me when I say these sorts of things. I suppose she'll just always have her way. Perhaps it's good, at least, that I am a fair bit older than she is. If she were nearer to my age, I think that I would not be able to handle her.

    Even the daily papers are providing no true news, and instead trying to entertain us with snapshots taken at inopportune moments. Those who matter know to what I am referring to. And I find it quite unimpressive. And - of course, I should have expected this - I had to attempt to explain to Cori why the picture was such a great matter. Perhaps she's just delayed. That would explain quite a bit.

    I suppose that when I go home from Dolores's, I should remember to tell Cori that she can't mention a word about that ice cream, or she'll never have another sundae until she's eighteen.

    Or perhaps I'll let her get into trouble.

    I'm so relieved that the summer is nearly over. If I have to listen to one more day of Corisande whining about how bored she is, I might just go mad. All she ever does is rattle on about Hogwarts and what house she's sure she'll get into (Slytherin, of course) and what classes she's most excited for. And if I dare complain to Mother or Father, I get reminded of how I 'acted the very same'. I'm sure that I was far more composed than Cori, though.

    Mother suggested that I invite someone over for a change, instead of attending everyone else's houses. I suppose I'll take it into consideration, but I wouldn't want to subject anyone to Cori without preparation.

    I suppose that I'll just have to go finish up my summer schoolwork, then. I wonder if the work was this tedious during the school year, or if it's merely now.

    Current Mood: bored

    Oh, it was so nice to get out yesterday, even if I had to take Corisande with me. Nevermind getting our school supplies - it was merely necessary - but seeing everyone again was rather enjoyable. I haven't seen Dolores or Cynthia or Barty since school let out last summer, and so much has happened now.

    Of course, we all went to Dolores's afterwards for a nice meeting, as well. I had to leave earlier than I had planned because Cori was due back by a certain hour (not to mention that it just wasn't the place for her), and once I was home, there was no true point to leaving once again.

    If I had, after all, I'm sure that I never would have heard the end of it from Corisande's mother. She would never had stopped in time for me to have a decent night's rest.

    Oh, of course, I suppose I should congratulate Artemisia on being named head of the Apothecaries' Guild.

    Current Mood: all right.
