MY HARRY POTTER TRAUMA

So I've been obsessed lately about Harry Potter, about the books, the movies and the theme park. This is how far my level of obsession has gone:

• Saw more than one of the movies in one day
• Watch at least one movie each day for a week
• Read my favorite books more than once
• Read all of the character information on the internet
• Set up a Harry Potter background on my laptop
• Bought a 'Weasley is our king' poster
• Find myself humming the theme song
• Bought not one, but two Harry Potter shirts
• Own a pair of Harry Potter PJs
• Been to the Harry Potter theme park
• Plan on going two more times before the year ends
• Own a Harry Potter wand (Hermione's)
• Bought a books series collection
• Bought and read 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard'
• Bought 'Quiditch Through the Ages' and 'Fantastic Beasts and where to find them'
• Scribbled down everybody's full name when bored
• Knowing the important character's complete name
• Specially Dumbledore's haha, APWBD. 
• Will buy my own wand when I go to Ollivander's
• Wishing for a hard cover book set for Christmas

That's how far I've come with my new obsession. Doesn't matter however if I ever stop watching the movies or reading the books because I know it will be printed in my heart. Always. 

P.D. I should make a BuzzFeed post about this hehe. 

Week #42: VALENTINE'S WITHOUT ROD :( (02.10.14 - 02.14.14)

On Monday I got my calculus II test back, and I did better than expected. I got a 72.5 :) I went to the library after class and tried to read through my economics material since I have a test on Wednesday and I did the best I could. I bought a hot chocolate at Starbucks to drink while studying but it was so nasty, it lacked sugar or something like that. I feel like a real blogger now, my Starbucks to the left, a TMNT sweatshirt on and my legs crossed; the only thing missing is for me to be sitting in Starbucks instead of the library. 

On Tuesday I had my physics lab, and it was a good lab :) I also had my leadership class, this one was a little bit more tedious but I still like it. I have that economics test on Wednesday and my plan is to study Wednesday morning, lol. Also, Tio Ricky arrived to Orlando, and that means: Disney World next week!I also had Panda Express for dinner, and that made me feel back so from now on I'm gonna be healthier! I also ran in the trail today, following the "from couch to 5k" workout. 

This was my view when running, pretty isn't it?

On Wednesday I woke up super early, 7:30 am, because I wanted to study before the test; besides, I asked Ricardo if he wanted to study together and he said Wednesday morning. Breakfast was not that good... The place smelled horrible and it seemed like nobody noticed, plus there weren't any biscuits! I came to the coffee shop at the bookstore to study while drinking my hot chocolate. I got to read a whole chapter, and when it was 9:15, Ricardo bailed on me. 

On Thursday I biked all the way to 7-Eleven at Fletcher to pay my Grehound ticket since the website was not accepting my credit card, it was chilly outside, and afterwards I went to Publix to do some grocery shopping since I had none left. It's so weird how I know all the streets and routes I have to take, I finally feel kind of at home; but without the family and friends part *sigh. When I got back I just chilled and did nothing for a while, I worked out a little in my room and watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince before going to bed. I was suppose to go on a run but it was so chilly I changed my mind. 

Happy Valentine's Day! This is my 4th year with Rod as my valentine! <3 and he got me a cookie, lol, even though we are 1345 miles away! (Yes, I googled that). Either way.. He ate the cooke hahaha. I also went for a run this morning and ran 4.20 km, I obviously didn't run the whole time but I'm def getting better. I met up with Courtney to do some physics homework and I gave her a Hershey's bar and a Resse's Pieces. She let me have two of her Resse's Pieces and now I like that chocolate :) I ordered pizza for dinner to celebrate valentine's day by myself, lol; jk, I guess I'll Skype with Rod tonight :) I also discovered why I didn't got accepted into PSU! I got a letter saying that they didn't accept transfer students for mechanical engineering, lol, they should have told me that when I applied don't you think? I also did laundry since I'm wearing my last pair of clean undies, hehe. 

TAG TUESDAY: Harry Potter

Tags are big on YouTube right now, and they have been for a long time. Since I'm more of a blog person I decided to do tags every week right here, just for the fun of it.
This week's tag is a HARRY POTTER tag since I'm so in love with the series.

FAVORITE BOOK?
I would say my favorite book is Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, since I like when they explained how to defeat Voldemort and Tom Riddle's origin. Also, I have only ready three books, the first one and the last two and I don't really have much to choose from.

FAVORITE MOVIE?
My favorite movie is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, I know everyone's favorite is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban but Goblet of Fire actually made me cry when Cedric dies.

LEAST FAVORITE BOOK?
Then again I've only read two books but many years ago I tried reading Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix and couldn't finish because I found it kind of boring. However, from the books I have read I would say the first one because It's kind of oriented for children.

PART OF THE BOOK/MOVIES THAT MADE YOU CRY?
Apart of Cedric's death, I cried when the Weasley twin died. What made me cry in Cedric's death was not the actual death but the father's reaction.

IF YOU COULD HOOK UP WITH ANY HP CHARACTER WHO WOULD IT BE?
Hmmm, I think I would choose Neville Longbottom. He ended up being the most handsome of the cast.

FAVORITE CHARACTER?
Obviously Hermionie, without her none of the missions would've followed through. They would have died in the first movie when they fell in the plant trap.

WHAT WOULD YOUR PATRONUS BE?
It would be either an otter or a phoenix.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY OF THE DEATHLY HOLLOWS WHICH WOULD IT BE?
I would have the Invisibility Cloak, because the other two are very powerful and you could get killed for them.

WHAT HOUSE WOULD YOU BE IN?
I actually did the housing survey in the pottermore website and I got into Slytherin.

IF YOU COULD MEET ANY MEMBER OF THE CAST WHO WOULD IT BE?
I would love to meet Alan Rickman, which played Severus Snape.

IF YOU WERE IN A QUIDITCH TEAM, WHICH POSITION WOULD YOU PLAY?
I would be the seeker because I'm kinda small and fast. Plus, I'm scared of the beaters.

WERE YOU HAPPY WITH THE ENDING?
I was more than happy with the ending. I love that Harry resurrected without the resurrection stone, and he decided that it was better to die than to resurrect. Some people don't know, but Harry didn't die because the wand belonged to Harry and a wand can't kill its master.

HOW MUCH DOES HARRY POTTER MEAN TO YOU?
I think it's better to ask what does hp mean to me, because it's clear that it means a lot. Harry Potter represents my childhood basically. And whenever I want to revisit it, I can just watch a Harry Potter marathon.

This is all for the Harry Potter tag, next tag will be in next week's post.

HARRY POTTER FOREVER

I was really procrastinating and decided to go on Pinterest and just look for some Harry Potter humor, many of them were cheesy and repetitive but if you have that feeling of nostalgia they are kind of funny. I miss Harry Potter so bad, right when I get to Panama I will watch every movie at least twice, AT LEAST!

Week #23 (09/30/2013 - 10/06/2013)

On Monday I went to Chemistry and this guy with british accent asks if he can sit next to me, he starts talking to me and I BARELY understand, he name is Sam. We ended up doing the group assignment together with Armando and another guy named Adam. After Calculus me and Courtney had planned going to the "Engineers Without Borders" meeting, since we have to go to two meetings for our Foundations of Engineering Lab class. We had some dinner before going to the meeting and we had a great time, when we got to the building where the meeting was going to take place nobody was there.. we waited like 10 minutes and nobody was there. We gave up and went back home, I said that we stayed for nothing and Courtney said that it wasn't nothing, because she got to have dinner with a friend, how cute? So when I got back I skyped with Rod and the funniest thing happened, his Dad walked into Momo's room in nothing but his underpants XD I just covered my eyes and laughed haha.

I like Tuesdays because I have two really easy classes, and I did absolutely nothing in them. In Foundations of Engineering though I did got a little nervous, because I've been kind of avoiding Ahmad, I know it's the wrong thing to do since he has done nothing wrong but I feel awkward with him. So I was really nervous because we have that class together, I think he came late though because he didn't sit next to me. I did heard his voice a couple of rows behind me and from then I didn't turn me head anymore. I also texted me and I was kind of cold with him, and at the end I stayed a little bit longer so I didn't bumped into him. After that class I went to the CSL Orientation (Certified Student Leadership Program). So for this program I need a coach to kind of mentor me, and I'm very introvert when it comes to new people so I asked Justin Fitzgerald, hi is the coordinator of the Civic Engagement program and he said he was honored :) After that I met with David to start the poster for our Chemistry Lab presentation, Victoria and Ricardo were not there. Ricardo it makes sense because he has to work but why didn't Victoria show up? Well, I worked with David. Strangely he was kind of pleasant today, it may be because he forgot to take his ADHD pill and was all hyper and stuff. I ended up doing most of the work but that's okay, I kind of wanted to be in charge. He also told me the clases for Spring 2014 were just scheduled so at 10:30 I began doing my new schedule, it ended up pretty well, I have no classes on Thursdays and just one class on Tuesdays. I'm just taking four classes next semester (Calculus II, Physics I, Physics Lab I and Economics for Engineers), which is good because next on the summer I'll be taking a couple more in Florence (maybe).

I now love french toast, I don't know if I have never had french toast but I just love having them for breakfast. Every morning if there are no bananas or apples I eat a french toast. Anyway, today was a boring day, the only exciting part was that I donated blood! I saw the bus and went straight into it, they pinched my finger and measured I don't know what. It hurt a little and I felt kind of clumsy and tired afterwards but I was wearing my bandage with pride. They gave me two t-shirts and a $10 gift card from IKEA. I really want to do it again but not in the near future because it really drained me. At night I met with David and Victoria to do the poster, it didn't come out as I wanted but what kind I do? They are not Alex or Ambar or Zhanzhy... I also had to go to a American Studies screening about a very boring movie. These movies of the 50s, today I saw "The Manchrian Candidate". The thing about these movies are that they are related to their background history because at that time the study of the mind was very popular.

On Thursday I delivered my Chemistry lab speech, I was really REALLY nervous and that gave me stomach ache, and it really hurt because I had eggs and milk for breakfast. The milk really had that factor that made me sick, still, I said my speech all right and I didn't forget a thing. After lab I went to the bookstore because they had a flash sale today on all hoodies and sweatpants so I bought myself a sweatshirt and I bought Jose David a hoodie because he had asked for one. I lunched some pasta with meatballs and that worsen my stomach ache to the extend it still hurt when I was sitting down. Despite the pain I had to get on the bus and go to the Metropolitan Ministry to do my first volunteering session. The first half of the ride I felt really really bad, the second half was a little bit better though. When I got there and got assigned my tasks the pain went away. I met really nice people, Juan and Daniel, both from Venezuela. I chop onions and peppers, fixed over a hundred sandwiches, and cleaned the fridge. Yeah, those storage freezers that you an get trap into if you close the door haha. Juan offered me some dinner from the buffet and I enjoyed some nuggets and fries, I also had a juice with a very particular (in the good way) flavor, it was strawberry-kiwi-banana :) The ride back was really tiring, I felt asleep a couple of times. Back here I watched x-factor and chilled for a while, after that I hung out with Peyton, Chelsi and Kaitlyn.

On Friday I had some breakfast, and they have not had french toasts for two days now :( they had bacon though, but it was kind of thick and greasy and yucky! Armando wants me to go to this dancing thing at the MSC tonight haha, if only he knew I'm so not a dancer. On Chemistry I forgot my clicker and I loose a couple of points :( I've been waiting for this weekend for a long time, a weekend where I don't have to wake up early or do anything other than a couple of school related work. After American Studies I went to Armando's because I was having trouble with my chemistry homework and we finished it, I had a good time :) I ended the night watching Grey's Anatomy, X Factor, and finishing up "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" by J.K. Rowling and I give it 4.7 stars.

YouTube Daily Shoutout #30

This is a short film that I thought was really creative. I like videos that use no words because those videos you need to put hell of a lot more effort so people can understand it and be simple at the same time. 

July 31st was Harry Potter's 33rd birthday! And Ron Weasley sings happy birthday to him on The Late Night Show. Btw. Ron is drunk. 

I've never seen this until yesterday but it seems to be a trend now of "I'm Shmacked" which are series of videos of parties from different universities. Now, I'm not a party girl but these videos certainly make wanna go to one of them. 

YouTube Daily Shoutout #6

As a Harry Potter fan this was very funny. I never thought about a musical draw my life lol, but this was very cool. 

I'm also a Friends fan and as many of you wish for a comeback this is as big a comeback you'll get, hopefully for now. 

I love people who are not afraid to embarrass themselves to make other people happy! Recently I did that on a cruise ship's elevator with my cousin and we made laugh tons of people! I like making people laugh.
