Letter from the Editor

by Deidra

Currently, I’m sitting in my office, staring out the window at the worlds most perfect spring morning. The sun is shining, there are only a few wispy, white clouds in the sky, the trees and flowers are all blooming, and full of color. The view from my window looks like something straight off of a postcard. I have my window open, and the birds are chirping away, and there is a gentle breeze blowing in. It’s really quite lovely. Yes, I’m procrastinating if you can’t tell. I’m up to my ears in work, and I haven’t a care in the world to be bothered with it today. however, because Nicole, Tyler, and Sara may actually toss me in Pansy’s closet and whollop me if I don’t get this done, thus, I’m writing this now.

Speaking of those three, I’ve been finding little ‘reminders’ all over the office. “Dei, don’t forget to edit this months articles,” “Dei, don’t forget about your dry cleaning,” “Dei, your letter,” and so forth and so on. They deny it of course, but who else would it be? Alas, that is the reason I hired them. They are fantastic managers, even at managing me sometimes. If you’re like me, sometimes we need a little help remembering to get work done or some motivation when needed. Since not everyone can have managers like me, I recommend getting a day planner or a calendar and sticking to it like old spello-tape.

Speaking of old things, apparently we are doing a mythology theme in lieu of the recent visit of the Olympian Gods to Slytherin. Who knew that Olympus was broke? Economy is bad everywhere apparently. Apparently, we have a recipe in this issue given to us from the handsome Trickster God, Loki. There’s also a really great piece about Aphrodite. Of course, I wonder if perhaps those gods promised patronage in exchange for glowing articles, but you didn’t hear that from me.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some daydreaming to do. Keep being amazing, Slytherins!

Love, Dei
