On a Serious Note

So I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, I've read the series about five times now and I can't even count how many times of seen the movies. Of course I am and always will be the kind of person who likes the books better than the movies, but the Harry Potter movies did a pretty good job in my opinion and I still love watching them. As excited as I was about the release of "The Cursed Child" playwright, I was a bit disappointed when I finished it. I think the biggest let down to me was that it wasn't written like the previous books- considering it's a script- but I mean the language was different, the literary fluency was lacking and I feel like it's because JK Rowling didn't write it herself- she merely came up with the concept. I was let down not only by the way it was written, because it wasn't exactly a page turner, but it seemed very repetitive because it was really just about all of the what-if scenarios that occurred in the other books. Although it was intriguing to see the main characters from the first series as grown ups and to see them outside of their mischief and constant battle with Voldemort, aside from that I didn't get the same bittersweet and satisfying feeling that I still get after closing every one of the seven Harry Potter novels. I suppose I sound a bit like a critic, but I had to vent to someone about it- even if it was a blank computer screen. Although I was a bit upset after reading this new release, I'm sure the actual performance of it is breathtaking and I hope it makes its way to the U.S. in one way or another because it would be a shame to keep something that impacts the whole world secluded in just one country. Harry Potter has made history and I suppose his poor little cursed child is a part of that history now too.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
