Welcome to another wonderful bi-weekly update brought to you by yours truly! Hold on tight as it is a rather long one! ^_^

Sorting & Transfers
Transfers are now closed, but sorting is still open! Sort a first year or two (or ten if your Kaitlyn :p ) before it is too late! Click here to do that!

Start of The New Year
Yesterday was the first day of classes for Y18! :woot: Make sure that you register for your classes in the gradebook system, so that you can receive credit for all of your hard work. :)

House Meetings and Quidditch Tryouts
House meetings and Quidditch tryouts have been posted for each of the houses in the common rooms and on the pitch respectively. Get involved around the school and attend one or both before they close! :D

New Head People and Prefects!
Congratulations to our newest Head Boy and Head Girl as well as all of our new Prefects! It's certainly well deserved! :)

Start of Year Feast
The start of year feast is now up and running. Stop by and welcome the new first years, or see your friends! Click here to access it! :D

New Professors!!
Please give a very warm welcome to our newest professors! Professor Enrique Martinez will be teaching Charms for years 1-4, and Professor Katrina Lucy will be taking over Astronomy years 1-4. Congratulations! ^_^

Accio!
The yearbook threads are ready for Y18! Get your pictures in for your year and any clubs you might be involved in if you wish to have your photo featured in the yearbook! Also, seventh years need to check their pms and return the yearbook surveys as soon as possible!


Birthday Celebrations!
The villagers won the game of Werewolf despite the sneaky wolves! Thank you to everyone who participated. :) Birthday celebrations are still going on. Post your picture wishing HNZ a happy birthday. :party: Get your name on the community signature! Don't miss out on all the fun!!

OOC Superlatives: Voting Closing
Voting will be closing sometime before the end of the week! Make sure you get your votes in before it's too late! ^_^

Shoutbox OOC Names
In case you haven't noticed, Shouty now displays ooc names by the name of your character! Big thank you to Nick for this awesome addition to the site. It's something that Nick has had the idea for for quite a while and had several people suggest. It's an excellent new tool. The code uses the information from the OOC account tracker, so that's all the more reason to use that system as well! :D

Online In The Past 24 Hours
Personally, I am a big fan of this update. It is very useful with so many people on different time zones. However, if you do not like seeing all the users who have logged in during the past 24 hours, you can disable the code through the [member]code control panel[member].

Applications Temporarily Closed
Applications are still closed because sorting is still going on. However, they should be open again soon!
Your patience is, as always, appreciated.

Professors' Meeting
Professors, the start of the year meeting has been posted. Go by and check out the updates. Please post stating that you read it. :)

Gradebook Updates
Nick has been tweaking the system to sort out a few bugs over the last couple of weeks. All systems should be good to go. However, pm him if you have any problems with the system.

We have some plots for you to read!
Remember that you can always submit one of your plots, or a topic you just enjoyed reading, to be highlighted.
[ul][li]Room 101
After months of worrying about the pregnancy she never planned, Briar Rowan listeners to a seer telling her that she will give birth during a full moon. She heads to St. Mungos where she and her healer prepare for, and face, the night ahead.
Other RPs in this Plot:
Free to a good home Less than two months before she is due Briar comes up with a plan so as not to be a mum (Better to read this one before Room 101 not after).</LI>
[li]Stickers
Hazel has invited Samual to join her in the library to give him a present she had made him. However, after she gives him the gift, he kisses her and she freaks out. Why?
[li]Project: Have Fun
An example of what can happen in an open role play.
[li]Frustration and Anger
Ai and Taylor both head to the North Tower, for different reasons, but when they run into each other, words are said and sparks fly.[/li][/ul]
[ul][li]OOC Superlatives Results! :woot:
[li]Applications opening back up
[li] Classes!
<LI>[li] Maybe even a few surprises! [/li][/ul]

That's all for today, folks!
As usual, if you have any questions/comments/concerns/ants-in-your-pants: feel free to post here!
