So I don't know how many people that read my blogs, (even though there aren't many) know my goal of reading all the Harry Potter Books before the new movie comes out. Not going to lie it started all because of the last Harry Potter movie, and it leaving on a cliff hanger type ending, and that wasn't going to roll with me. So I began the week of Thanksgiving to start to read the Harry Potter books, and boy did it take a while for me to get through the first two. I started book 2 during the break and then put it down, until eventually, (like January) I picked it back up. Push comes to shove, and I am finally starting book 7 tonight.
I never really ever thought that I would enjoy Harry Potter. Never in my wildest dreams did I even imagine me picking up the books and reading them, and I have always enjoyed reading so reading them shouldn't have been very hard. However, the desire was never there until of course the movie didn't answer all of my questions that needed to be answered. The second thing I must admit is that this is the second time that I have purposefully read a book before the movie counterpart came to theaters. Not going to lie, I read Shutter Island thinking it would be released in October of 2009, and was far to prepared for Hollywood's take on the book in 2010.
Now I understand, not all people like Harry Potter, or will ever have an interest in the book or movie, however I must admit, J.K. Rowling did a good job. And for that I guess she can deserve the millions she made. (unlike some other millionaires in the world).

The Waiting Game
For whoever knows how long, I am playing the waiting game with various stores throughout the McKinney area. Hoping and crossing my fingers that an email or a phone call will come saying, "Hey what do you want to do this Summer?" But who really knows right?
I know that I just applied recently but I am seriously hoping that I do in fact get hired, partially because I want actual work experience rather than just life experience. One of the reasons why I am not enjoying the idea of this waiting game is that I really don't know what I am doing and if I am filling out things properly. Another main reason why I am extremely intimidated is because I am seeing all sorts of signs pop up in Brownwood about employment opportunities, and I am not applying here but at home. It makes me scared that there won't be available jobs in town so I will be stuck doing nothing useful or productive.
It's odd, realizing this is my first summer without any big plans of adventure, or camps or what have you. I am going into summer without having signed up for anything, and it's oddly refreshing.

Summer Time
I am really looking forward to next weekend. For some reason I am just really ready to be done with this semester. What am I gonna do this summer? I still don't know how to answer the question, I do know that my parents want me to get a summer job and I do know that I am fine with that idea, if I can find a stinking job. But most importantly I just want a break from learning and due dates and all that loveliness.

Pre-Finals
Today was a wonderful day! I really am perplexed how through this week so far I have remained so calm and stress free knowing finals is right around the corner, however it's something marvelous. I had a presentation today that I only truly started yesterday and I really wasn't worried. I had the normal amount of nervousness but that was it. However if the stress free the week gave me wasn't good enough, I spent quality time with two great friends and watched a funny movie. Who knew that the week before finals would be such a breeze!

Unblogable.
I really am hating my blog habits of recent. And I have no clue how long it will take until my blogs get back on the stage of readable again. I think a big problem is I am procrastinaiting and start them when my mind is something else. Another problem could be some topics that do remain on hand I feel are unblogable. Because somehow the wrong eyes will lay across it and be mad or upset or even worse start trying to give advice on my life.

Just Me.
I am not going to lie, I was very close to going to bed without typing this. However I realized almost last minute. The thing that has been most prevalant on my mind lately is the fact that the school year is coming to a close and to me it's no biggie. I am not freaking out about finals, or major projects rather I am just being me. And I think that especially at times like these where stress is supposed to be a part of life, I am perfectly fine with it.

To Be Brief.
My laptop won't last much longer because it is on it's last amount of battery and I can't find half of the plug but tonight has been adventurous. Thanks to seeing friends, getting a tornado warning, having a nice old lady hand me my wallet that I dropped, a 149602503532 mph wind tunnel, and most importantly seeing family. All in all a fantastic end to a grand weekend.
