Harry Potter is coming out soon. If you haven't already figured this out: I'm a huge nerd, and Harry Potter is probably my favorite thing in the entire world.
In fact if I could make an entire blog about Harry Potter I totally would, but I feel it would become a little redundant after a while.
Anyways so my goal for the next two and a half weeks is this:
Re-read all seven Harry Potter books and watch all 6 movies.
Considering how much free time I have, this won't be hard.
Except here is the problem: I would rather do these things than do homework. :) I wish Harry was here so he could just magic my homework done. (Not that they could do that in the HP universe, it's just a nice dream.)
This strangely leads me into my next point of interest. I am going to spend tomorrow night with a sorority in Kansas City who I may be recruited for.
Now if you know me, you know that I have wanted to be in a sorority more than anything else in the entire world. I just love the idea of sisterhood and having a huge family and lots of friends. For some reason I've just never had those things.
Plus I feel like sororities can actually give you a step up. Some pretty famous and powerful people were in fraternities and sororities.
I'm hoping going to UMKC will be a whole new beginning for me. I keep looking for new beginnings and I've never yet had a fresh one. This one feels like it will be. I'll be in classes with people I don't know, on a campus I don't know... it will be completely different from Stephens. I'll have anonymity and I'll be able to be myself with such a variety of people.
I feel like this school is trying to smother everything individual about me.
I'm crazy, I like to play video games, I like to read Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. My favorite book is The Hobbit and I play Kingdom Hearts II on a regular basis. I like to watch football and baseball and I tend to scream at umps and refs that make bad calls.
And for some reason... all those things make me a weird person here.
So you can't like fashion AND video games? I can't know the rules of football AND shop on Modcloth?
Who says?

Lord of the Rings Solution
Sometimes I wish I was in Lord of the Rings. Because if those guys have a problem they find a SOLUTION!
And it's usually a solution involving attractive men in plate armor and riding horses... sometimes involving lofty elves and stocky dwarves.
If Aragorn was with me right now... I probably wouldn't be writing this post... but if he were with me and I wasn't attracted to him I would have him solve all my problems.
Him: "You are having a problem with another young lady in your class?"
Me: "Yes I am. She called me stupid. And she's not a lady! She's a fat and ugly witch!"
Him: "Well I shall avenge your intelligence!"
And then he'd run off and behead her in some fantastic battle with 2,000 men.
Her true form would look something like this:
I drew that really quick, it's pretty good for a caricature. :)
For me, my problem is indecision. So if Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn wanted to come and tackle that problem for me... that would be wonderful.
When I start to think too hard about going to medical school, I start to wonder if there is anything else I can do.
I wanted to be writer, I wanted to be a filmmaker, I wanted to be a lawyer, I wanted to be a journalist, I wanted to do... anything you can think of! I'm pretty sure I've wanted to be in the Lord of the Rings movies (which are already made, but I can dream).
But for some reason I've settled on doctor.
I know a lot of my posts are about this, but Halloween seems an appropriate time to talk about this kind of thing.
Since it's the day where you pretend to be something you're not.
I feel like going to medical school will be like the battle of Helm's Deep. Work and reading will be on one side of the wall, the men of Rohan, and I will be like the Uruk-Hai, attempting to scramble over the giant wall so that I can finish off all the work I have to do.
And sadly if we're looking at it that way... Aragorn and Gimli and Legolas will not be on my side, they will be effectively fighting against me... which at this rate my metaphor is failing because now I'm losing. So I'm going to go and try and figure out a new way to explain this.
