Bi-Weekly Update

[Cyndi Kingsley]

Yo! It's me again. I'll just get right to it if you don't mind.
Week 3 already?!

It's true. We're almost halfway through the semester, and boy has it been a busy one. Professors, don't forget to keep up with posting or let us know if you need help. Students, don't forget to get to those classes!! Sorry, no help for you on that.

A note for second years

Don't forget to[member] head to the elective fair[member] or meet with your Head of House about your electives. It's mandatory!!

So many events!

We've got a bunch of fun stuff going on. To help you keep track of it all, check out this list:
[ul][li] Roses- Steven has posted a deadline, so please make sure you're keeping to it if you signed up to deliver roses. I'm sure the recipients can't wait to receive them! </LI>
[li] Speed Dating- This has begun! If you haven't seen the post for that, check it out here and make sure you post your topics if you're a starter. Rotators are waiting!
[li] Chili Chocolate eating competition- Ruby Folsom (Rowan), owner of Honeydukes, is trying to organize a competition to begin during the next Brightstone, which is this weekend!
Read up on it and consider signing up!
[li] Pride Event - The Wild Patch Club is sticking with its annual tradition of hosting this event. Have a student or staff member who might attend? Post! [/li][/ul]

A very big thank you to Steven, Dan, Rowan, and Kaye for hosting their events.

If you have a club or shop and want to organize an event of your own, we're here to help you and help with deciding a time to ensure it receives appropriate attention.

On a related note,[member] the Valentine's day dance is open[member] but will likely close today or tomorrow. So get to RPing and posting your [member]yearbook pictures[member].

Speaking of...

This is your final warning. The yearbook will be closing soon. If you don't post your picture now, you'll only have yourself to blame when it closes.

Quidditch

Hufflepuff vs Slytherin is happening now. Keep up with the game, and don't forget to head to the stands to cheer on your favorite team or start some drama in the stands.

Character Spotlight

November's character spotlight has been posted. Professor Kida Frost, who is RPed by long time HNZ member, Ash, is it! Be sure to check out her questionnaire and character information when you have a moment. And don't forget to offer her a congratulations!

Professor's Meeting

Professors, if you haven't already, please don't forget to look over the meeting. Don't forget that it's mandatory to let us know that you have done so.

Apps

We're fairly up to date with apps. As a reminder, don't forget to keep track of the account you use to submit an app. We may have questions!

iPhone upgrade
If you're having an issue with '?' appearing in place of other punctuation - it's been happening to folks in shouty- here is the fix, courtesy of Nick:
In Settings, go to General > Keyboard > Smart Punctuation. to fix your question marks in shouts.

Hope that helps some people!​

A surprise encounter went better than expected. Now Robert surprises Rhianne with a visit at her workplace. Is it just a visit or is there something Robert wants to ask her ex-girlfriend?

Because this happens once a year and I've missed it every time thus far:

Yes, November totally spotlighted that Professor.

On what and how? Who knows, probably just in her notebook she wrote a little blurb about Professor Frost who will be her Professor in Transfiguration next year!
