Poor Ron...

[lightofdaye]

I like Ron Weasley. I don't really get the fandom hate for him. And I think the later books and the movies did him a great disservice by emphasising his role as comic relief. In later books he never gets a chance to shine, like he does in Prisoner of Azkaban. Where he stands on a broken leg to get between Harry and Sirius (when they still though Sirius was an evil mass murderer) and if he does something good. like excel at keeping or rally the group's horcrux hunt it happens entirely off page or is glossed over in a couple of paragraphs.

On the other hand... gosh darn is it easy to write him into the role of the guy asking questions for exposition and have be jealous for conflict and so forth. I keep falling into using him that way instead of doing better for him.

Yes this is a covert smutty_claus post. And its coming along. I did lots today. And by lots i mean, I typed out the stuff I wrote in my notebook last weekend. Still, I'm still feeling upbeat about this one.

Well, 700 is pretty close to the required total. We have "final exams" at the end of the semester, but there's lots of regular exams whenever the professor feels like it. Like, every 4-3 weeks you could have an exam, but then there's some people who don't do exams at all and they assign a giant project at the end of the course.

But yes, our entire education system is based on testing. So we have exams all the damn time. In high school and earlier years it was even worse.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure i'll hit the 1000 word mark if nothing else. Not going to be anywhere near as long as last years though.

Too bad about the exams. its like here. a lot of school is now not learning the stuff properly, its just exam priming so the schools do well on the league tables. Which is sad.
