Last Blog...For Real This Time

Turns out, this is my last blog post actually.

Harry had a dream in which Voldemort was torturing Sirius at the Ministry of Magic, and now he wants to go there and save Sirius. Hermione, however, does no think this is a good idea. She thinks that Voldemort is using his connection to Harry's mind and exploiting Harry's hero complex (spoiler: she is right...as usual). Harry will not hear of it, and is trying to find a way to get to London.

Goodbye Jack :( Lol

So, this is my last day here in summer school. It was fun, and lots of good things happened. I have had really good teachers. Everyone is just so nice and friendly. I love it here. I am so excited for school to start back up. I have done better than before. So, thank you! :)
I know this has to deal with my book. Writing and discussing my book. So, here is my last blog about How I Live Now.
So far Daisy and Piper have been walking and walking for days. Looking for signs of life. But all they do find is silence and death. So, it isnt very pleasant for them. But they have made it through out the hard times.
They just found there home, inside is trashed except for the bedrooms. They are staying there for a few days. Just so that they can get back on their feet and start walking again. Which they dread, but they have to do it. Only if they want to find the rest of their family.
That is as far as I have read. It is sooo good. :)

Almost Done!

I FINISHED MY PROJECT! YAAYYS! I just need to give my presentation tomorrow and then I will be done! I am quite pleased with it. I had a lot of fun sculpting my last symbol today, and I think it turned out pretty well! Friday is the last day of summer school! This is probably my last blog. Aww. Well, it's been fun! Got to go finish the book!

So...Dumbledore?

Well, Professor Dumbledore has basically disappeared from the book at this point. He is never actually around and only occasionally mentioned, which makes me wonder...where the hell is he?! Umbridge has all but declared herself queen of Hogwarts and is bullying all of the students and faculty who don't have connections to the Ministry. Someone needs to put her back in line. Someone named Dumbledore.

Harry is a Reluctant Teacher

So Hermione wants Harry to teach a whole bunch of people Defense Against the Dark Arts, but he seems slightly less then enthusiastic. I can't say I blame him. Half the school thinks he's cray already, plus he didn't exactly receive formal training in how to do most of the crazy magic he's done, he just kind of did it, so he really doesn't have any idea of how to teach it. I would probably be reluctant too.

So I went to The Cactus last night to see Ray Bonneville and it was kind of amazing. That guy is a jedi. That is the only possible explanation. Well, it's the only realistic explanation. And tonight my band Beat Farm is playing at Jovita's! Yay!

Underaged Drinking

So I have recently noticed that Harry Potter and his friends seem to be drinking heavily every time they visit Hogsmeade, and no one cares. At all. In fact, it doesn't seem to be illegal, or even frowned upon. WHAT is up with that? Well, their drink of choice is called butterbeer. I have never actually encountered this drink, so I'm not sure that it's real, and none of the books actually say whether or not it contains alcohol (or whatever substance wizards prefer to intoxicate themselves with), but from what I gather, it appears to contain an equivalent amount of whatever substance to the level of alcohol in beer. While I personally would not want to make it any easier for supernaturally powerful, hormonal teenagers to get drunk and impair whatever judgement they had, the wizarding world seems perfectly okay with it, so I suppose that's that.

Deaths :/

In the book, How I Live Now, Daisy has just seen two people shot. She is in shock but also mad. The only reason for Major McEvorr and Joe were shot. Was because Joe was yelling out stupid stuff, which got him shot. Then Major got shot because he was upset. It was such a gresome thing for Dasiy and Pipper to see. That really sucked that they had to see that.
I dont know how I would react in Daisy postion. I think I would freak out, and go insane. I wouldnt be able to handle that sort of thing.

Inspections by Umbridge

Umbridge is now doing "inspections" of the professors at Hogwarts. She is a real butt. She stalks them around and makes passive aggressive comments and facial expressions. So basically she's just even MORE of a jerk than before. The book is kind of slow at this point. The best part of this chapter was that Professor McGonagall was rude right back at Umbridge, which was funny.

Dont go crazy :S

In the book I am reading, How I Live Now, a war is going on. With war comes emotions like sadness, worried, afarid or hurt. So, it is kind of hard to keep everything going the way it did at first. It is hard to find things intresting when you are worried, scared or hurt. It is hard to laugh, smile or just be glad that you are still alive. Just because of all the stress that is going on.
Daisy has found a way to keep herself happy, just by imanging Edmond being with her. Pipper has found a way to stay okay and not so frightened anymore. She is also making other people feel a bit better, just because who she is and how she is helping them out.
I believe that you need to be happy even if things are rough. Because you dont want to go insane, just because you are sad. I would like to stay sane... lol.

The Delightful Dolores Umbridge

Well now it turns out that along with all the other horrible things she's done, Umbridge has also written a law that prevents half-breeds from getting good jobs, so now Harry hates her even more, if that's possible. Also, Sirius appeared in the fire. Just his face, but still, it's pretty weird. He and Harry had a conversation, and Sirius wanted to visit Harry in Hogsmeade but Harry said no because it was too risky, and then Sirius got upset and left...

My mom and sister and brother are still in Florida which sucks cause I miss them and my house is all lonely with just me and my dad.

Percy Weasley and Florida

Today in Harry Potter, Ron received a letter from his brother Percy, who at the moment is sort of the black sheep of the family. Percy had a huge fight with his parents because they are loyal to Harry and Dumbledore and he is supporting Fudge and the Ministry, which, needless to say, does not sit well with the Weasleys. Anyway, in his letter, Percy urged Ron to "sever ties" with Harry and also to distance himself from Dumbledore, who he hinted would not be headmaster at Hogwarts very much longer. Hmm....

My mom and brother and sister are leaving for Florida tomorrow to see my grandparents which I am kind of sad about. I am going to miss them a lot. Also, I am sad that I'm not going with them because I haven't gotten to see my grandparents since Thanksgiving or my aunt and uncle and cousins (who also live in Florida) since last summer. Oh well, I have no one to blame but myself. But still. I am disappointed. Although, I get to do band camp because I am staying which will be a lot of fun, and I am playing a gig at Jovita's next Friday!

Daisy and Pipper :D

In the book, How I Live Now, Daisy and Pipper have been separted from Edmond and Issac. Daisy is upset by this and dosent think they should have to leave each other. But she has to stay strong for Pipper, so Pipper wont be too upset by the whole thing. Daisy is trying to figure a way back to the others, but in the mean time they must stay where they are at.
I doont EVER want to be separted from my family, I would fight until I was able to be with them. I dont understand why Daisy and Pipper had to be taken away from the other two. That is just SO wrong. They should be able to stick togther no matter what happens. God! I hate war SO much....... >>

Umbridge vs Harry

Professor Umbridge is now torturing Harry in detention, and not just with boring work. She is literally torturing him. She forces him to write with a quill that uses his own blood as ink and cuts the words he writes into his hands. Who even makes quills like that?! Jeez. So... yep. These last few chapters have been a bit slow.

War.

In the book I am currently reading, there is a war going on. Daisy is not excatly sure on how to react to it. So, it dosent excatly effect her like the other people. She heres a lot of talk about what is happening. Her family is worried about her but she told them she if fine. Because quite honstely she is.
If I was ever in her situtation I would probably have a panic attack and just freak out. I wouldnt be able to surive very well... I wouldnt be able to do my normal activites, like Daisy is doing, I would be to frightened.
I hate the war, I think it SO stupid. Why do we have to fight when we could easily fix a problem by discussing it? Seriously we need to learn to get along!!!!!

Sorting and Feasting and All Sorts of Nonsense

Harry is finally back at Hogwarts! Yay! Things seem to be a bit different this time around, though. First, the Sorting Hat issued a warning to the school about the Houses needing to unite. Also, Hagrid is mysteriously absent.... Other than that, there was a ridiculously large feast, as usual. I personally am very glad that Harry has finally made it back to school. Things were a bit dull when he was just moping around the headquarters. His life is more eventful when he is at school, plus Hogwarts is kind of awesome...

I am going to see Despicable Me today and I am very excited! It looks hilarious. I hope I don't get sick.

London :) Plus... Moving sucks :/

I am reading a really good book called, " How I Live Now". It is about a girl, Daisy, who is sent to live with her couisn's in the UK. She is nervous, not use the people being polite to her, they way her cousin's life style is. And she dosent get why people are worry about a war that may or may not happen. She also wants to learn about who her mother was. Plus, she is a little freaked out by the way Edmond acts. It is as if he could read her mind.
I have moved around 20 times in my whole entire time. Amazing.... yeah right. I dont like having to move around a lot... I would like it if I could stay in one place. But my mom loves to move, and I respect her for that. It can get a bit annoying, though it's also good because you can start over. Be a new you, dont have to worry about people knowing who you are. It can be very hard to get use to one place.

Harry Potter

So I am now reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It is a very excellent book so far. Today, I read about Ron and Hermione getting their prefects badges from Hogwarts. I always thought that Hermione would be a prefect because she is just that kind of kid, but I did not imagine Ron being one. He is usually Harry's sidekick. Ron is the one who everybody says "Oh, that guy" whenever his name comes up in a conversation about Harry. This time however, Ron is the one getting recognition, and it has thrown Harry for a bit of a loop. I feel bad for Harry because he is disappointed about not being a prefect, but I also feel bad for Ron because everyone, including his own family, seems completely shocked that he is.

Last day with Thomas :(

Awh!!!!! I am going to miss you Thomas!!! Lol. It was great having you and you are such a wonderful english teacher. I have to admit you are really adorable. Lol. O.o
Paper Towns was such a good book, I reccomend that people should read this book. Q finally found Margo. She was in New York, she wanted to stay there and travel. Poor Q.
I am so glad I got to read this book, thank you Thomas. You NEED to read this book. lol :) Once again thank you! I will miss you. Lol.

Final blog

Today i finished the book Flight. It's a great book. I really like the end of the book. Zits finally come back to his real life. He realized that he was still in the bank. He did not kill the people in the bank, but he was still holding his gun in his hand. He came to police office and convienced what he was trying to do in the bank. At the end, he got sent to jail again, but after 3 month he got reliced. The police Dave ask his brother to take care of Zits. Dave's brother has no kids in there family, they are really kind. They give Zits a real worm family. Zits cried at the end, because he feels love from Dave's family. Life give him a second chance to change himself. I just want to say that if life give us a chance to change ourself, please don't let it go.

"centering walk"

today i was late because there was an incident with pancakes at my house. it took me almost an hour and a half to make ONE. thats because the first one got majorly burnt and fogged up my whole kitchen. my maids were there so they helped me with the next one. the girl (alice) thought i had to keep it on minimum heat, but it took us thirty minutes to realize that the pancake wasnt cooking. so then the guy (lee) said it wasn't hot enough, and then he squished and mutilated my pancake batter. eventually, one pancake got done at 11:51 am. i ate it, and it did not taste good, so i had celery instead. then, my aunt looked at the time, and said, "oh, we better go." this was 12:00. then she proceeded to sit down at her desk and browse ebay until 12:13. i was extremely frustrated. so then we left, and she yelled at traffic, even though it was all HER fault that we were going to be late. i would just like to let every one know, this is what being an ebay addict does to you. anyway, i got to school late, and then thomas took us on a "centering walk".
