The Insanity of my Parents

My parents, today, at 11 a.m. told me we were leaving for Palm Springs having given no warning before. Within 2 hours, (an enormous feat for my family) we were on our way to our house in Palm Springs. We had gotten from a camping trip on July 3rd. It's like, Gosh, I'm in the car more than our house. What is wrong with them?!

The Beginning of the End

This is it. This is what I have been waiting for. Thousands have spent the last seventeen years obsessing over this. And now we await the final chapter. Harry Potter 7 part 2 is coming. But, what will us Harry Potter fans do after this is over? Whether you have spent seventeen years, one year, a month, or just finished the books yesterday, we will all be at loss once this is over. But, to ease our pain, J.K. Rowling is helping us ease back into our normal lives, we will slowly put our wands in their cases, unbookmark the Leaky Cauldron, take the books from our bed-side tables and put them on their special shelf. But we will have Pottermore to accompany us, to help us as we read the books to our children, give the magical world to the next generation, or just reread them ourselves. Because as all Harry Potter fans know, a good story never dies.

8th grade

I am having a mental breakdown right now because I, the completely, irrevocably, immature me, is to be an 8th grader, one of the (also immature) leaders of the school. More than that, I am freaking out about the fact that 1 year from now I will be going into high school. HIGH SCHOOL! When I was little, I couldn't wait to be an 8th grader. Now that I am, I'm not so thrilled. Also, I thought I'd be ALOT more mature. Not the harry potter obsessed, coloring book loving, and Wow-wow Wubsy watching girl I am. But in some ways I am as mature or more mature than I thought I would be. I have already read Pride & Prejudice, (thumbs up) I have gone through more than I thought I would have to, and I have come to the realization that authority, textbooks, and your idols are not as great as they seem. Sometimes they can be suckish people. So bring on 8th grade. Yes, I will fail, but I will also excel, and I know that I will grow more than I can imagine.
