Do it yourself obsession;

So I've been pretty much on my own since last Wednesday. Both of my parents are in Spain visiting my sister, as you may of read previously, and my other sister went on a road trip to LA. My brother is home but with him actually having a life, he is rarely here. With me being by myself for an extent of time, I get massively bored. YouTube has become my sole source of entertainment. I swear, I'll go on there to look up the three year old crying about Justin Bieber(because that's how I do) and I'll end up on there an hour later watching baby kittens purring. I don't even like cats!

On these long YouTube sprees, I've come across a number of How To videos. I've become obsessed. My favorite is the Lady Gaga Poker Face Bow. I actually straightened my hair to try this out, which takes a long time. ( I even watched a how to straighten your hair with a clothes iron video! I tried this but it was a bit of a failure.)
Here's the hair bow video. The girl on there cracks me up.


I've also come across a website called Threadbangers. It's this site that has tons of videos that shows you how to take old clothes and make new things from them. My favorite which I am anxious to try is turning two mens longs sleeved button up shirts into a skirt. I'll show you that one too.

So go to threadbangers.com to see more. They really have some cool videos.

So pretty much, this spring break has been full of watching do it yourself videos. That's pretty much all that I've done. I went to see How to Train Your Dragon today, though. It was a really cute movie. I kind of want a pet dragon now.

Oh, and I'm sure you all have heard of the new Harry Potter theme park that's being made. I am stoked! I seriously cannot wait for it to be finished and to go to it! Although I still wish I could actually go to Hogwarts. A theme park is just not the same...

So for now... :)

Ridiculousness;

I become more and more excited for Summer as it slowly approaches. I know its quite far off right now but I do have many more things to anticipate the meantime. One being the band trip to Disneyland. I've been there twice before but I know that going with my friends rather than family, it could be a whole lot more fun. I will shamelessly pose with all the characters and wear my Minnie Mouse ears with pride:)

On April 15th, I find out whether or not I have been accepted into a program called Girls on Ice. And it has nothing to do with ice skating, mind you. It's an eleven day trip on Mt. Baker, studying glaciers. It had a pretty intensive application process and I'm super nervous to find out the results.

And this is ridiculously far off, but I'm also really looking forward to counseling for Sixth Grade Camp! This is like all the way in October so I really shouldn't even be thinking about it but I can't help it! For some reason though, whenever I smell hand sanitizer, it makes me thing of it. This probably has to do with the fact that they made us apply a glob of it before every meal.

And spring break is in just a few weeks! My parents are going to be in Spain the whole time so I have to figure out what I'm gonna do. (Demi! I'll have to crash your house.) For a while I though I was gonna be going to Spain as well but I guess my parents just don't love me...

Now I'm gonna go make myself a bowl of soup. And that is how interesting my life gets as of now.

What happens when I'm allowed to choose my essay topic;

My Time at Hogwarts

_____There was a time when I believed I was just a mere muggle. I would sit and wonder. I knew I was different from the rest of my family and my friends. My parents once found me sleeping. That would sound quite normal if it weren’t for the fact that my dog was calmly hovering beside me. At first, I didn’t believe them. But after I accidentally turned my grandmother into a jack rabbit, I knew I was somehow special. It wasn’t until my eleventh birthday until I got a letter from a school called Hogwarts. It explained all my unusual talents and gave me directions to register into a school for people like me. Now I am in my sixth year here at Hogwarts. And what a time it has been. My time at Hogwarts has been wondrous due to the quality of education, the friends I have made there and the adventures that I have experienced.
_____The education here is quite different from ones of muggles. We don’t sit in boring classrooms learning things like math that have no value to your future. First there is potions class with Professor Snape. Most of the kids don’t like him, me being one of them, but I know that learning how to compose different potions will help me a lot in life to create remedies for illnesses. There is flying lessons with Madam Hooch. I think flying is the most exhilarating experience ever. I love the way the wind feels fly past my hair. And flying suffices wonderfully since I am still too young to perform apparition. My favorite class is transfigurations with Professor McGonagall. I just think it’s really fun make my feather pens into cute little mice. And as I get into more advanced transfiguring, I realize how useful this skill will be in the future. Everything that I learn in Hogwarts, in fact, will be useful to me in the future.
_____I’ve also made a lot of great, if not a bit peculiar, friends. The first person or I should say lack of person, to make an impression on me was Nearly Headless Nick. He is the house ghost for Gryffindor. After the sorting hat chose Gryffindor as the house in which I belonged, I sat down at the long table and all of a sudden a felt a cold rush throughout myself. Startled, I looked around. What I saw was a transparent figure with his head hanging on by a mere tendon. He then introduced himself as Nick and since then, he became somewhat of an acquaintance. That very day I sat next to Neville Longbottom, not only at supper but on the train ride up as well. Neville is quite a quirky fellow but he’s good for a laugh here and there. I definitely consider him a good friend of mine. I didn’t meet Ron, Hermione and Harry until later that week in Transfigurations class. I couldn’t figure out the motion to flick my wand when Hermione came over and helped me. Ron and Harry were in her trail, of course and that day we all got off pretty well. We’ve been the best of friends since. I am so glad to have met these people here. I don’t think my life would be the same with out them.
_____ I’ve gone on some pretty crazy adventures here as well. Ron’s brothers Fred and George who are twins are constantly up to mischief. I swear, you would think these boys had to of completely disregarded they’re education if they didn’t use such crafty magic all the time. And it would be a lie if I said I was never along side of them stirring up all kinds of trouble as well. The time we flooded Moaning Myrtle’s bathroom, and when we charmed Snape’s robe to turn bright pink during class. And those are the tame ones of the lot! I’ve also been known to hide under Harry’s invisibility cloak along with him, Ron, and Hermione to visit Hargrid, the groundskeeper, after curfew. The quite large groundskeeper, I might add. Half giant, I think is what he said. We’ve never been caught during these night visits but have come deathly close more than once. With all the pressure of school, these adventures are what help keep me sane.
_____ Me entering my seventh and final year at Hogwarts this coming fall, I began to feel quite nostalgic towards my time here. Thus, I felt the need to write this string of reminiscences. I hope to never forget what I have learned in these classes which I found truly interesting and of the utmost importance. I can’t ever lose touch with these friends whom I’ve spent the last six years of my life with. And the memories of each adventure will be what keep me going till death. I am so fortunate to have had this time as Hogwarts and it will never be forgotten.
