Harry Potter fever...

...feelings... emotions...
Once again it is the end of another week. So tired, especially after Wednesday, having 7 hours of classes straight! Have dance class afterwards also!! The bio labs can get very dull at times because we keep having to wait for things to set/dissolve/mix/cool etc. This week we did gel electrophoresis and we had to wait for a whole hour for the DNA in the gel to migrate! The sad thing at the end was that mine and my partners gel didn't work!! Grrr. Was a bit depressing, we spent so long preparing it! Have two tests next week, one for english and another for genetics, so spent all day today reading poetry and the play 'Twelfth Night'. The play is actually more clearly understandable now that I read it the second time! Not really sure how else to study for english, it's all about understanding the text and knowing how to analyse and give your opinion on it... also started to study genetics but got tired so will continue tomorrow... Have to write up some things for my lab as well, will do that too! Luckily that's not due till Wednesday.

Third week into the term I realise that my weeks feel so peaceful now without having chemistry to study for, and I'm finding that I have plenty more time on my hands to do things besides study (reading, internet...!!) I always knew that chemistry is a very time consuming subject but never realized it was to such an extent! (no more getting up at 5am to do chemistry!!!)

Speaking of things, the final Harry Potter book came out last weekend 21st July!! Spent all weekend reading it!! (didn't even have time to go on the internet!!) It was so depressing and tragic in some parts that I cried, so sad, and several of the characters that I liked died (not Hermione or Harry or Ron though, luckily!!). My favourite part was probably the ending when it talks about Harry, Ron and Hermione being all grown up and sending their kids to Hogwarts! Good book overall, although I would have preferred it to be a bit more positive, but hey!

Harry from 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'! My favourite Harry Potter book and movie! Haven't seen the movie for ages, will watch again when I have some time...

Hermione...

'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'. So sad that it's the final Harry Potter book, would have liked to read more! Wish J.K. Rowling would write more... cry... :(

Harry...

Hermione picture from Linda's magazine (now stuck on my door)

One of the posters on my wardrobe door. One of my favourite photos from the first movie!!

Started to re-read the first Harry Potter book! Have read it about a million times before, but hey, it is my favourite Harry Potter book!! Never get bored reading it! (also really like the 2nd and 3rd book!). As I noticed, the first 3 Harry Potter books are quite positive, but then after the 3rd book they start to get more and more dramatic and tragic (ie. characters getting killed). Was so depressed when Dumbledore died in the 6th book... (he is my other favourite character along with Hermione)

Decided to re-decorate my wardrobe door. Normally I don't like to change things in my room, prefer things to stay the same for ages, (notice my Otago hands on science poster on the door from 2005!) but now that I've caught the Harry Potter fever all over again after watching the 5th movie and reading the final book, (I have had Harry Potter fever several times before!!) I decided to give my wardrobe door a new look...

...so I found all my Harry Potter posters and postcards and Linda the future interior designer made me a collage on my wardrobe door!!

A horse mold that I made using Linda's plaster horse making kit that she got for her birthday, and spray painted it with gold paint so it looks like it's made of metallic stuff. Just felt like doing something random (not recently, about a month ago).
