The Fleur de Lis and Pottermore

This isn't a song title if you were really worried about that. Would be an interesting song I bet. I was pretty sure I was getting sick yesterday (as of today I know I was). Worked on some homework and went to lunch (can it be lunch at 10:45?) with K. Did some laundry too, which is really hard because we are down another washing machine. There was water all over the floor and my socks got very wet. I was quite sad. And the dryers don't ever work either. Not sure why maintenance is slacking, but they better get it fixed soon. 

In the afternoon I went shopping with S & A for Halloween costumers and fabric/crafties for our littles. Well my littes and S's littles. A found this really cute costume. I've decided to go as Nancy Drew. Who wears a REALLY short skirt. That she's had since about 8th grade. A found me this really cute fleur de lis fabric to make letters out of at Joann's. I'm really excited. Now I just need heat bond and stencils and a sewing machine, and you know, coordination. We went to dinner with M & J. Then we went back to the dorm to do homework, but of course got distracted by Pottermore. I really have not been on, but managed to hold my own in the conversation. I wish I had more time to go explore. Stupid school work. Which I clearly didn't get done because I was talking about Pottermore. Good thing inspiration struck when I went back to my room or I would have been screwed.

So Much I Never Said... About Pottermore

Tuesday I wasn't so happy to see you. Homework until 11 when I went to class. My IDS is actually very interesting, but the room is SO cold that I have trouble concentrating. We learned about rocket technology today. It was actually much more interesting than it sounded. Lunch was interesting. We had live music, which is great, except when you can't hear the person sitting next to you. International Management came next. I wish that was fun. We finished watching Gung Ho and I'm all for movies in class, but this one just seemed to drag on. And I feel like I haven't learned anything. We'll see how that goes. Maybe its why people say the class is so hard, because you have to teach yourself.

Now, the afternoon was MUCH better after I was done with classes. I won another e-book from Librarythings called Facing the Son, A Novel of Africa. And my last textbook for MIS. Which wasn't as cool, but at least I have it and don't have to worry. Also tonight? First APhiO Rush of the semester! We were watching Wall-E, but I was so distracted because I got my POTTERMORE LETTER. Ahh!!! I was so freaking psyched.

 

So, I rush downstairs (after telling my friend that I am no longer a Muggle) and log on. I anxiously race through the first few chapters to get to the sorting. And I am..... any guesses?

RAVENCLAW! So freaking excited! I knew that's what I HAD to be. It's nice to be right. I love all the graphics in Pottermore and the insights into J.K. Rowling's head, but the actual game itself leaves a little be desired. It doesn't seem as interactive as I thought it would be. Hopefully once the site fully opens in October it will have more content. Yet, I still can't wait for the rest of the books to open! Oh, and A thinks I'm a bitch because I got in. She screamed it at me actually. Good times.
