Hazza Pottahhh

Well the seventh and final installment of Harry Potter is in. AND WHAT A FINISH! Being a literature major at uni its no doubt I was incredibly excited about this book release. I ordered my copy early to ensure that I got one but when I got to the store to pick it up I realised I had to line up anyways. AND there were loads and loads of copies sitting on the shelves there had not been pre-ordered.

Anyways, this line was long. It went from the front of the store in Borders at Carlton all the way to the back, nearly to Gloria Jeans. I lined up, picked up my copy and then they send me to the back of store to line up for my Hedwig toy. Why on earth they didnt have them all together is beyond me. So anyways. I get home and I had another two classes to teach so I decided to wait until I got home on the Saturday night to start reading. When I got home I started reading as planning and only managed to get three hours done. I was so exhausted from teaching three classes that day that i was falling asleep at the wheel. So I begrudgingly retired for the night and rose the next morning, picking up my book beofre I even got out of bed. I didnt stop reading till just before 5.30 that afternoon. I read the whole book. I'm sure a lot of people would have and probably did the exact same thing. Here's what I think (please note, spoilers ahead):

- J.K could have given Ginny a bit more of a pivotal role. She did end up marrying her and Harry and they had lots of offspring so I think readers might have wanted to see a little more of their relationship grow. I certainly did.

- I was incredibly surprised to learn of Snape's role. he was in love with Harry's mother? What the? Great, fabulous, sensational twist. I most certainly did not see that one coming.

- I knew Dumbledore was really dead. So many people thought it was a set up. I twas the bloody avarda kedavra curse people, come on!

- Ron and Hermione make sense but they are the weirdest couple together. Does anyone else agree?

- AND finally I think she has opened up a path for 7 more books. Albus Severus Potter and the hogwarts chronicles. I can see it now. We'll see if she thinks so too

The biggest question I have now is what the hell is she going to do next? Harry Potter was her first novel. Where do you go after that? I'm incredibly envious of her. Not of her money and her success but that she managed to create history with her own creativity. I would love to have that much talent.

Holy McGuiver life is lost!

Well here I am, weeks after my last post and I feel like it was just yesterday. My uni results have been returned to me and I did alright. I ended up walking away with a high distinction, distinction and a credit. I wasn't very happy with the credit mark but there is no use crying over spilt milk now is there? This semester (which starts on monday) is going to be massive, five massive subjects, 14 massive assignments over 8 different massive due dates. Basically i'm fucked.

So this is what i've been doing. Uni finished and then i had bodypump training the weekend I finished my assignments. I walked way from pump with a clearance to teach but also the sorest body on this bloody planet. So, i entered week one of my holidays feeling like a criple and I had four extra classes to take. So in total, in week one of my holidays I took 14 classes. No recovery for me, I felt like death. Then enter week two, I started out sorer than week one and again, four additional classes on top of my own normal load. This week I took two extras but I tell you, i'm only just now getting over the soreness from Bodypump three weeks ago. No doubt its because of all the classes i've been doing.

I wanted to really get some headway on my marathon training during my break but i've been so sore and busy with classes that I just didnt have the energy. Now uni is set to go back next week and I feel all cuffuffled again. MEH!!! life is just barrelling away from me right now. I feel like I dont have time to scratch myself let alone have any sort of sub-normal existence. Or, maybe this is what normal is supposed to be like in adult life. Maybe being happy and cruisy all the time is abnormal. Who knows. I like keeping busy thats for sure but right now I feel so busy that i almost feel like i'm suffocating.

I have another class to run off to, i want to write more so i'll have to log back on later tonight to blog the rest!
