 Astro #2 (afternoon) doesn't proofread tweets | #wrongaboutcereal | #siriusly? | emo to the extremo
After having put the flag into the lake earlier in the day, Zander had gone about his daily life activities without so much as thinking of the tides. It was only when he sat down to attack some of the homework that had been piling up, that he finally realized HE HAD AN ASTRONOMY LOG!! Ahem. Cool. Totally cool. The Gryffindor was suuuuuper lucky because only 6 hours had gone by and he still had time to get down there before it got too late. HA. See, he had actually planned this the whole time.
It took some effort to get moving, 'cause he was in a very comfy corner of the Reading Room, but he grabbed his ruler, wand, and a snack for later before walking out to the lake. Now came the hard part: trying to find the flag. If only he had charmed it a different color or something. That way he could tell it a part from the others. Sigh. The things he only thought about once it was already too late.
Though, he quickly remembered trying to get his a little further into the water HA!in attempt to help him spot it much easier. Found ya! It was also pretty easy to spot the giant loopy handwriting from a few feet back. With that in mind, the Gryffindor set out to make some more measurements, though he had to roll up his trousers before hand so that they didn't get wet on the way into the lake.
Once that was taken care of, he quickly made his way towards the flag, sticking his ruler into the dirt right up against it. Cooool. Now he just had to make a reading and then TADA all done for the day. See, this homework stuff wasn't even that hard. It just wasn't any fun. He wasn't having fun, okay? Okay, okay... Maybe a little. But it wasn't every day that you got to go into the lake for homework.
Anyways, he watched as the water hit the ruler a few times, but waited for the ripples to settle down before he came up with a solid measurement. Annnnnnnnnnnnnd oh. It wasn't even that big of a difference. Huh. Was he doing this wrong? Couldn't help but wonder, y'know? Anyways, he tried to commit the number 103 cm to memory as he ran back to his small pile of stuff. Once on land, he quickly took out his notebook and began scribbling, noting that there was only a 1 cm difference from earlier in the day. Was that 'cause of the tides?! Or... Just because of human error?
