The time of year when mental breakdowns happen left and right. I'm pretty sure that I've overheard a dozen hysterical phone calls where students are telling their friends or family that they are just not cut out for college.
Personally, I just think I'm not taking the right courses. I would probably ace Transfiguration, and Care of Magical Creatures would certainly boost my GPA. I mean, OU offers a Star Wars course. Why not Hogwarts, A History?
I would much rather be conjuring a Patronus than memorizing ancient Mesopotamian kings. Besides, it is way more likely that I will run into a Dementor than use that useless bit of information.
I would happily suggest a few classes to the administration
Here is the lesson plan:
Defense Against the Dark Arts - Chapter 20
Conjuring a Patronus:
Step 1) Stay Calm and take your wand in your hand
Step 2) Think of a happy thought. Any happy little thought.
Step 3) Say the words EXPECTO PATRONUM (eks-PEK-toh pə-TROH-nəm) clearly and with the proper emphasis.
A silver mist should dissipate from your wand. With practice, this mist should take form of an animal such as a rabbit, stag, or hedgehog.
That is so much more appealing than my syllabi.
Writing for Mass Media
This semester the goal of this course is to:
1) Make you wonder if you will ever be happy again
2) Make your life a bazzillion times harder than it already is
3) Require you to question your sanity every bloody day
After Writing for Mass Media class I can't stand the format of the Daily Prophet. It's not AP style!
And don't even get me started on Reeta Skeeter. She doesn't use the inverted pyramid.
hahaha, I'll take that class!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it'll teach a spell for changing bad gpa to better!
