Jumping on the Harry Potter bandwagon
I haven't seen the last one yet, I'm not that dedicated. The only midnight showing of a film I ever remember going to was for Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, and I was so tired and brain-dead that I didn't really appreciate the film or notice half of what was going on in it. Yes, the costumed people are cool, but I figure I have enough fan-crazy friends that I can just live vicariously through them. So I'll go see HPDHpt.2 later on this weekend, let the cinemas get their crazy partially out of their system first.
It is odd to think that this is the end of it, but I'm not terribly worried about it--I still have The Hobbit and the Narnia series to keep me hoping. Plus all of the Avenger team build-up. I think this will be kind of like going to see Toy Story 3; I grew up with that, too, and I appreciate all that it did for cinematic technology, but I can (and do) own the DVDs, so that's enough. For HP, there will always be Potter Puppet Pals and the Starkid musicals and the cleolinda parodies, and that's enough for me.
In the rest of my life, things are slow and quietly stressful, as summers tend to be. I'm still running and have actually run four miles at a stretch twice now, which continues to surprise me. I have all the tokens of an ill-planned summer--severe sunburn, odd tan lines, more mosquito bites than I care to think about. Right about now I'm starting to fondly think of the falling leaves of autumn and the feet of white snow that come here in November. But I'm also trying to see the beauty of this, my least favorite season. It's there, I know, but when one is itching off one's skin, it's hard to remember.
School is in hiatus right now. I finished the summer project I had and am waiting...waiting...waiting for the grade result that will determine my fall schedule. I'm expending way too much energy some days trying not to panic about that. I should know next week, but I'm not holding my breath. I am, however, not doing any prep work for my classes, writing any lectures, even ordering my books--I've checked out of school completely these last couple of weeks, which worries me. I have to be able to pick it up again when I need to, and I'm hoping I'm just re-charging for that. Hopefully. If not, the next year is going to be another hell, which I don't need.
Nothing terribly important going on in my life, as you can tell. Just wanted to throw in my two cents on the HP phenom. Hope you all are well.
You Are a Book
You are a deliberate thinker. You don't like to gloss over anything, and details matter to you.
When times get tough, you get philosophical. You never forget the meaning of life.
If you're facing a problem, getting away for a couple days always helps you clear your mind.
You always consider the past, present, and future. You believe every little event shapes your life.

Gee, I'm so surprised.
