The Day of a Lot of Snow

Well I am back at home. I survived my first solo trip. I met some nice old ladies on the way to North Carolina and then on the way back I met an exchange student from one of the NC universities. She was form South Korea and she was really nice. I learned a lot about her and Korean customs. It was very interesting. Yesterday we picked my brother up from his university. Today there is a big snow storm. I don't think I've seen this much snow since I moved from New York. It looks really pretty at the moment. I really hate how snow looks after the salt is down and makes it all brown and dirty. I have a feeling this is going to take a while to melt away. I get the pleasure of looking forward to shoveling all of this lovely snow tomorrow.

Finals Are Over!

Yes, people of the internet, the evil of which we refer to as finals are over for me. No more studying or writing a 10 page paper on my dream museum, not that its really my dream; though I do think its a pretty awesome idea. Okay so get this, I had to create my own museum for my museum studies class. Well I decided, since I love watching movies, I would incorporate that love in my school work. My museum is called the History Museum of the Development in American Cinema, HMDAC for short. Its awesome and I would totally let you all read it, but its kind of long and you might get a tad bit bored. Anyways, I hope I get a good grade on it and I get to go home tomorrow morning! Super excited. I'll be able to see my dad, mom, older brother, and my fish Heath. Sadly I have to wait a week to see my younger brother because he still has another week of school, stinks to be him. During the week my younger brother, Daniel, is at school I get to take my first train voyage by my lonesome self to North Carolina to see my roomie for a couple of days. Hopefully I'll survive the trip and get someone cool to talk to near my seat. I'll definitely report about the trip there and my time at NC. It'll be tons of fun!

Quidditch Anyone?

Well I really should be studying and working on Latin at this moment, but I wanted to write a post on this interesting new information I've discovered about the college that I attend. We are starting a Quidditch Team here. Yes, Quidditch, the made up game from the fantastic Harry Potter novels. Now don't get me wrong, I love the Harry Potter books as much as the next person, but I feel that this so call Quidditch is destroying the amzing fantasy game in the book. The way they have a Snitch in the game is having a person run around the field dressed in yellow. I mean thats pretty lame in my opinion. When playing Quidditch you should be flying on broomsticks in the air, not carrying them between your legs while running around a field; and I don't mean to be a buzz kill, but the last I heard, I know its depressing, we can't fly on broomsticks. I would think that the whole broomstick between the legs thing could be dangerous and harmful too. I know I would hurt myself some how because I'm a clutz. Anyways, love Harry Potter, but I think this "real" Quidditch destroys the fantasty and wonderful image I've built of Quidditch when reading the books or watching the movies.

Winter Break Needs to Come Soon

So I have not been able to write here for a while due to having so much work for school. It is the last week of classes and finals are next week :( After that I get to go home for winter break though! I just hope I'll survive for it to come. I got tons of studying I have to do and a final paper to write. During the weekend my friends and I plan on seeing New Moon, even though we've got stupid tests coming up. I'll have to let you know my thoughts on the movie. I am super excited about it! I love the books and the second and third books are my favorite! Anyways I have to go study now. Wish me luck! :)
