| I haven’t used lj in a while and a lot of things have happened since, but what I mainly want to focus on is Harry Potter. Tonight, at 12:01 AM I’ll be privy to a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and I’m so excited and nervous at the same time. If this is how I feel – then I truly, truly sympathize with Rowling whose emotions must be a hundred folds greater than mine. Nevertheless, I just want to express my thanks to her for creating Harry Potter and the Harry Potter fandom for keeping her magic alive. Seriously, you rock.
I’ve been a Potter fan since 4th grade and now that I’ve graduated, it seems so surreal and almost like my rite of passage. I’ve shared so much with Harry and I’m looking forward to knowing everything, but I can’t deny the loss I’ll feel. Also, I really DON’T want Harry to die. So I ask that everyone enjoy the final chapter of this wonderful journey and preserve the magic for everyone else by not spoiling. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |

Dude, I'm all for that.
So tomorrow I’m heading up North to visit some colleges: Columbia Boston College Tufts Brown University of Pennsylvania George Washington
Now, that’s not too bad or too many, but the only problem is that I’ll be going with BOTH of my parents…for over a week. Gah. Let's hope things shape up to be tolerable. | comments: 5 comments or Leave a comment  |
| AHHHH.
I AM FREAKING OUT.
The AP Chem exam is tomorrow and I'm going to die. Why, oh why, didn't I study more diligently?
Oh well. There’s not much that I can do about it now. Tomorrow is my last AP and then I’m freeeeeee…until exams that is.
(And I can’t wait for the VM finale, but I’ll tape it since I should be studying.) | comments: Leave a comment  |

| Rob Thomas owns me.
I’ve finally been sucked into Veronica Mars. Hardcore. And I’m totally hating TPTB right now, but I *knew*, I knew, in the last scene that Kendall would be there. I knew we wouldn’t have Logan/Veronica handed over to us on a silver platter, but GAH, it shouldn’t have been like that. I was all YAY and then shit.
They so totally are epic.
On a side note, I haven’t posted here in almost a year. So, yeah, I’m still alive. So much happened and I just couldn’t keep up, but Logan and Veronica’s star crossed lovers’ vibe made me want to fangirl again. I hope you all are well. | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment  |
| Okay, so just in case I don’t get any other time on the computer, I’ll bid everyone farewell.
I’m leaving for India tomorrow and coming back July 14. Yep. That’s six weeks of 112 degree heat and billions of blood-thirsty mosquitoes. Oh well, I’m prepared. My cousin is getting married so it should be fun and the shopping is always awesome. So, yes, looking forward to it.
Oh, and I’ll be on mrsjamiewitter look-out. Even though I don’t know what she looks like and we’re on the opposite parts of the country, if I happen to bump into her, I’ll just know her presence ‘cause we’re all spiritual connected and stuff.
Hope everyone has a great, adventure filled summer (if I don’t get to talk to you)! Especially you, roxybluegirl7! Have a super fun time in Europe. :D | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment  |

| Jeez. Haven’t written here in what seems like ages. But, hey, when school’s out, anything is possible. It feels so good to be out. Though I feel guilty for just bumming off—I guess it will take a couple of days for the summer break-ness of it all to kick in.
Also, I wanted to wish a very legal birthday to just about the coolest, sweetest, and most genuinely beautiful person I know roxybluegirl7! Happy 18th, Rox. I love you SOSOSOS much and I know you’ll rock the nose ring. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| Life is so bad and sad right now and I don’t have the energy to explain quite yet.
But on a slightly cooler note, I got my license today and I can drive far, far away. | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment  |

| This weekend was supposed to be relaxing and a nice break after exams, but NO. It was HORRIBLE. Our whole subdivision’s heat/gas went out Friday morning. Since then the house has been fucking freezing. All the space heaters were sold out, and it snowed today! It was too cold to do anything. I just spent like half of Saturday sitting in one position. Then I became fed up and I spent most of my weekend at Fiona’s house where I finally got to shower (yes!) and be warm. We saw White Noise...eh, should’ve opted for another choice.
I was really looking forward to bumming off and writing but it just didn’t work. Gaaah. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| [rant]So, exam week. Monday I had Latin and English, Tuesday was a day off to study, today was the horrid AP Euro, tomorrow is another day off to study, and then Friday is Chemistry and Algebra II.
And after taking the AP Euro exam, which I think I failed (and by failed I think I got a C), I’ve come to realize that my test taking strategies are just bad. I study so much for that thing…to the point of utter and complete insanity. But I just don’t know how to choose things…like the best essay question. Because for me, I usually know both and it just sucks. So test taking is kind of like parking a car (which I’m bad at too)—you just have to develop a feel for knowing how much further you can go without hitting the sidewalk. I just hope that someday I’ll become big enough to see across the hood of the car and park the damn thing correctly.
Also, got my AP Euro research paper back—88. I guess that’s good considering the highest was a 90. Sigh. And apparently the Algebra exam is the most frightening math exam that Danika has taken thus far in her academic career, so I’m stressed about that too.
This is just a horrible, terrible no good week. [/rant] | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |
| Alright, alright. Since I committed a most horrid deed and forgot Dana’s birthday (I’MSOSORRY!), I promised her that I’d make her icons of any choice. And all these have been requested by her and she has most graciously given me her permission to share them.

| I hate school. More importantly, I hate AP Euro. That class stresses me out so much. I’m doing well in it, but it just takes waaay too much time. So, uh, yeah, hi to everyone who I haven’t seen in a while. I’ve been so busy with school and dance that I have no time for anything else, like posting in my LJ or watching GG and the cuteness that is Logan and Rory.
Also, I have 2 tests on my birthday, including AP Euro. That class won’t leave me alone, even on my birthday! *cries*
But guess who can get her license and start DRIVING this Friday? (or sometime soon—whenever I get it) Who, me? YES! You guessed right! 16, baby. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |

| All I gotta say is that I loff my new phone. It’s so pretty and entertaining. My dad picked me up late today and while I was waiting I started playing with it. It turns out that I have unlimited web access for 2 months free. So, yeah, I basically googled pictures of pretty people and read the news. On my phone. *can’t get over the spiff factor*
On not such a spiff note, AP European History test tomorrow.
I am terrified! I’ve been studying a lot but I still don’t think I’ll do well. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |

| Alright.
I’m going camping tomorrow in Pisgah, North Carolina. We were actually supposed to leave today but it got delayed due to the torrential downpour (4 inches).
2 nights. 3 days. ALL full of rain, mud, carrying everything I’ll need on my back, sleeping under tarps, and no toilets. The next thing I’ll know, they’ll be handing out leaves as toilet paper. Plus, cramps and my period on this trip. *cries*
Let’s see how I survive this. Well, at least I have Brooke and Danika in my group. | comments: Leave a comment  |

| I taught my grandmother how to use the microwave. Again. It wasn’t fun. Again.
Guh. School start tomorrow.
It’s so depressing. First, the lack of Michael Phelps and his jammers (*sobs*) and now this?
Bwah. | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment  |
| I’m reading The Black Death, which is just the most depressing book ever. It encompasses everything and anything you didn’t want to know about the topic. Seriously, I don’t care how bad the pus smelled or how the fishes were thought to carry it. Bah. And I have to take detailed notes…quiz first day. Ick. Because of that, I’ve been on a mean/baaad-streak. So if I do something really retarded, blame me and the book.
It’s Fiona’s birthday today. I hate shopping for friends who are the same size as me because I always want to keep what I buy for them, which is usually clothing. Sigh. I’ve actually had to talk myself out of keeping the pretty top. I’m so bad.
And Beowulf? The weirdest book. I wish I had strength like that. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |
| I've read Dante’s Inferno and Limbo is a kick-ass place to be compared to the other levels. I mean, imagine a frozen Lucifer chewing your head along with Cassius, Brutus, and Judas’. Ew.
Taken from naive_girl:
The Dante's Inferno Test has sent you to the First Level of Hell - Limbo! Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
