So we all know...tomorrow is the beginning of the end. I wanted to make absolutely sure that I blogged before my life started to end. Do you realize that come July it will all be over? And that starts tomorrow night.
It's crazy.
Like I can't even believe it.
I started watching videos of all the press interviews that have been happening since November 11. Sadly I have not kept up to date with everything because of schoolwork. It's been crazy. Today is the first day I've had a break in a month and it couldn't have come at a better time. Right before the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Lucky for me, my only class tomorrow got canceled so I can sleep in, spend the day relaxing, take a nap, and then GO TO THE MIDNIGHT SHOWING! OH YA.
I really cannot wrap my mind around anything else right now. The weird thing is, it doesn't totally feel real. I think that's because this is the first HP movie that I will be seeing without Karina since we became friends. It makes me incredibly sad and a part of feels like I shouldn't have this experience without her. I'm glad we're still going to get to see the final part together because it will be EPIC. But I wish we could see the whole ending together, since our friendship bloomed out of our mutual love for Harry Potter.
Woah random rant. Anywho. I'm absolutely thrilled for tomorrow. Since Friday night, our chapter has been watching an HP movie every night to lead up to the release. As I write we are watching HBP. We haven't really had too good of a turnout because we weren't really allowed to advertise, but we have been getting a few signatures every night which is good. Tonight we had a great turnout though compared to all the other nights! Woot woot!
Tomorrow night we are having our Pre-Lumos Party in my dorm followed by stalking the movie theater every half-hour until we decide it's time to start lining up and getting signatures. It's going to be fabulous. I'm hoping that they will let us inside the actual theater we can get up in front and shine our flashlights and explain who are and what we are doing in order to get people to sign the petition. Hopefully we will get plenty of signatures. Then on Friday after I've slept forever, I'm going to enter them into the website. Hopefully all of our e-board members will be willing to help enter names because I feel like we are going to be able to get a lot of signatures. I'm so excited!!
I seriously cannot think of anything else but Harry Potter. It still doesn't seem real to me. It probably won't until we are standing in line waiting to get in. I wonder at what point I'm going to start to cry. Hmmm. I'm definitely bringing a box of tissues with me. That is an absolute must.
I find it extremely awesome and odd that right as I'm getting out of the movie, Karina will be going in. I can't wait to text her and tell her if it was good or not. I mean I've heard it's amazing so I'm going to basically probably send her a text with lots of AHHHHHHH'S and OMGGGGG'S lol.
Well Half-Blood Prince is almost over so I'm going to stop writing to watch with my fellow HP nerds. I can't wait to blog about the movie on Friday. Maybe Saturday. It depends on how long it takes for me to recover from tomorrow night. ZOMG IT'S ALMOST HERE!
Until Friday (or Saturday)...

The Attempt to Be Positive
So yesterday was very very unproductive and there was no reason for it to be. Needless to say this kind of got me down, but I was determined that I just needed a new day and things would get better. I was wrong.
I was up not 20 minutes this morning when things started to go wrong. I forgot to do a response on Friday for my English Lit class that I didn't remember until this morning. I also forgot to send my business group project to another member of group to finish and I thought I sent it last night. However I had two very angry e-mails in my inbox this morning saying Where the hell is the powerpoint?!?!? Ooops...
Seriously though, it's not my fault. I'm freaking working so many shifts that I don't have time to focus on my schoolwork and that's really bad. I'm not really sure what to do because I'm scared if I complain then I'm going to get in trouble...especially because we are short on hosts' right now. I mean I know they won't fire me or anything because they need me. But they could make my job very miserable if I start complaining and that's not a good thing. The only way I'm planning to say something is if next week they schedule me for four shifts again. I will do it this week because I don't really have a choice. Everybody has work on Vetern's day and I'm hoping that this is just a one time thing. But GAHHHHH.
Anywho...right now I'm watching another disgusting video courtesy of my English Lit class. That is why I'm writing this blog while watching...so I don't really have to watch the gross parts, but I'm at least hearing the dialogue. Yep. Fun Stuff. I have a ton of homework to do today.
Oh wait...I was about to start complaining. But I realized that I'm supposed to be trying to make my day a positive day instead of a negative day. Ok so here we go. I'm really looking forward to the Historical Film Society meeting tonight. We are watching Robin Hood. Unfortunately I can't stay the whole time because there is a Council of Orgs meeting and I really want to talk to Sustainable Agriculture Club about the Starvation Wages Horcrux. I'm hoping that if we partner with them, they will be willing to help get signatures for the petition. I mean I know our club members can reach a lot of people on campus, but by working with another club, we will be able to reach even more people. That's really exciting.
One thing I am proud of for this week is we were able to organize all the movie screenings except in Lenape. That is the only dorm I'm still waiting on and I'm really not too worried about it because most dorms don't do programs on Saturday nights. Also on Friday I'm going to the city! YAY RANDOM HOUSE. I'm super excited. I actually sort of get a three-day weekend because I get to spend a day in NYC at the place where I will hopefully one day work, then I get to come back to campus and watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone because I asked for Friday off. And then I don't work until Saturday night so that's kind of cool! YAY.
Ok, I'm going to get some lunch now and try to stay positive in order to turn my day around. It's all about the attitude right? :)

Bother Bother Bother
So I was walking back from yoga today trying to figure out what in the world could possibly be bothering me and make me unable to relax during yoga which IS SUPPOSED TO BE RELAXING. I don't have any homework due tomorrow. All I have to do today is review for my business test at 5pm. Which I will probably be done with by 5:20pm. So I'm pretty much done for the day. I know exactly what needs to get done for HPA and my internship and I've figured out when it's all going to happen. Everything is under control.
Then, I get to my dorm room and I look at the sign posted on my bulletin board that I put up a few days ago. The Relay for Life kickoff is tonight. And I'm not sure I can handle it. That's my problem. The big thing bothering me. I don't know if I can handle Relay because it could very possibly make me a complete wreck.
I'm not really sure what I should do. I want to do Relay for my dad. For me. It's important to me. I understand that I don't have to do this, but in my mind I know I really want to. It's just...a lot harder then I thought it would be. See most of the time I feel like a normal person and everything is fine. But you can't ignore something when it's right in your face. And maybe I'm a little scared of that. I know that participating in Relay this year is going to be hard, but I also feel like it's going to be worth it. So maybe if I can keep that idea in mind, it won't be so difficult to go to the kickoff tonight or participate in April.
With that in mind, I'm going to try and enjoy the rest of my day. Now that I know what's stressing me out, maybe the best thing to do is just to work on as much French homework as I possibly can today. Lord knows I need to study lol.
