July 24th

So.. today was Pioneer Day in Salt Lake City...which is apparently bigger than the 4th of July! Pioneer Day is always the 24th of July and it celebrates the Mormon Pioneers finally reaching their destination...the Salt Lake Valley. So naturally the whole city shuts down, which means no work! Seeing as finals are in a week you would think I would take advantage of this whole day with no obligations right? (Especially when I have SOOOO much studying to do!) Right? WRONG!!

As I was leaving work yesterday I passed through Deseret Book and I saw the new Harry Potter book. Everyone knows how much I love Harry Potter but I decided I would not buy it until school was over. As I passed it I lightly slid my fingers across the cover and I couldn't help but feel a tinge of excitement. "OK. I will buy it but only as a reward to great studying!! You are NOT allowed to open its covers until you are DONE with school!" I told myself!

Well... last night was quite uneventful and so I decided I had two hours to kill before I fell asleep...just a bit...just enough to where I would be excited to finish my studies and get to delve into the pages....well... as we all know what a SUCKER for reading I am... as was the case with the very first book so it held true to the last book...I was engulfed by the humour and mystery and magical wonder of it all from the very first sentence!! I did go to bed on time but only to awake and spend my whole day finishing it! Seven hundred and fifty nine pages of pure joy! Ms. Rowling sure is one heck of a writer! For those of you who I know are still reading it or maybe waiting for a more opportune time to read it......HAPPY READING!

LONG LIVE the D.A!

yes. yes. YES I KNOW!! I am a complete and utter nerd! We established this YEARS ago. My father was a Treky...and I am in love with Harry Potter. We all have our dirty little secrets! ;-)
