When Janelle's tea had cooled enough, she picked up her cup with her left hand and took a sip. Ahhhh, it wasn't too too strong and just sweet enough. Trying to maintain her relaxed state, she didn't think of anything in particular........at first. And then, her thoughts turned to the topic that always seemed to pop into her head lately. OWL's. It was still relatively early in the term and yet Janelle always seemed to have the exams on her mind. She worried about studying enough, about doing well, pretty much about anything and everything related to OWL's. Even though she tried to push the thought from her mind, they found their way back. Soooo, Janelle guessed that this would be the topic of her reading.

Janelle continued to sip her tea and reluctantly think about OWL's. She wished she could have a more interesting or fun topic, but it was what it was. At least she was enjoying the tea and she was still her regular size, so that was something. Finally, there was only a little tea left. Janelle figured it was time to begin her reading, so she checked her notes once more. Holding her cup carefully, she gave it three circular swirls. Then she watched as the tea leaves moved around the inside of the cup. Moving the saucer closer to her, Janelle turned the cup over and set it gently on top of the saucer. She counted her breaths and hoped that her tea leaves would not fall out of the cup. One, two, three. Janelle turned the cup back over and set it back on the saucer. Time to read the tea leaves.
