Did he say why he wanted you to leave the journal? Just so you could really relax? Mum says sometimes she wishes people would leave their journals closed more often because now everyone carries them everywhere and it's hard to have a real conversation.
Well, I heard a rumour that there are a couple of people who only have enough to go on if they continue History, so you wouldn't be alone. If you were in lessons, you wouldn't have to work hard, just listen to what he says we're supposed to be reading so we know we're not too far off the mark.
Before you re-test in Arithmancy, you could write to Professor Vector and see if she'll allow you to go on without the E. If you were really close, she might let you. Then you wouldn't have to revise all summer long. But if you do need to test again, I'll come over to revise with you whenever you like.
