Harry Potter and Other Rumpus

So I've decided that I am going to reread the Harry Potter series again. So that would make it the third time that I've read the series. They pretty much never get old! At first I didn't really want to read Harry Potter because everyone and their brother was already obsessed with it, so I must give credit to Hannah for convincing me to read the series that become my favorite series of all time! It's true that I do have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with this series. I mean, what kind of highschooler goes trick-or-treating dressed as Hermione Granger? Well, I guess my kind!

It turns out that I won't be able to go to Chicago this weekend after all. :( It was canceled, "due to probable thunderstorms." Pffffft. I was so excited to go to Borders, and we had decided that we were going to go to the Cheesecake Factory too! Mmmmmm. I loooooove cheesecake! But no. Of course the stupid weather has to ruin it for me! These random thunderstorms need to go away so I can get on with the rest of my summer! The other day while walking in to summer school, nature decided that it would have a torrential downpour. My jeans were so soaked that it looked like I had fallen into the pool! I then had to sit through the next 4 1/2 hours of the most boring class of my entire life soaking wet. So you can see why I want the storms to leave us alone for a bit.

I decided that I would steal a nifty survey thingamajig from Hannah who stole it from Courtney. So thanks Courtney!!
