I passed French! Not brilliantly, but well enough to stay in the class this year. My marks on the grammar section was reasonable, but my vocabulary still needs a lot of work. Still, it's not surprising given how late I joined the class so I'm very pleased. Tezuka, THANK YOU for the lessons and the dictionary; the notations are invaluable.

My other Christmas presents were disturbing ... unusual ... interesting. Sadly, the book from Oshitari was overlooked when we packed to return to Lioncrest. Ohtori-kun, you should have been more careful and, on an entirely unrelated note, I'm giving you a pay increase.

Eiji, I do love the telescope! I can see ... my French dictionary through it. Did I mention I passed French?!
