I want to thank all of you for your help in the Harry Potter Alliance's Accio Books Drive. Each house donated hundreds of books, but no house beat Hufflepuff's book donating skills. With 219,260 points we took the cup. Way to go, badgers!
In other news, I am moving ahead with my summer plans. Thanks to my tax refund, things are looking slightly up, and I may narrowly avoid taking a loan out to pay for school. This means that I've finalized my plans for Infinitus. Yep. That's right. "When the theme park's done, I'm going to Hogwarts!" It's a once in a lifetime journey that I can't pass up. True it's not an eight week course on the Holocaust, but with any luck (and my tax return) I'll be able to afford both trips (if I get accepted).
For now though, I must concentrate on looming finals, paying bills, and this Friday's wizard rock show at The Sidewalk Cafe. Madam Pince and the Librarians will be sharing the stage with The Volunteer Arms, The Whomping Willows, Justin Finch-Fletchley and the Sugar Quills, and Draco and the Malfoys. Kelly and I are beyond excited, and looking forward to singing our ode to Ms. Astoria Greengrass once more. Hopefully this time I won't laugh mid-verse.
Finally, I just want to thank those of you who have been reading for your support. Thanks to your help, (and the IRS) I am closer than ever to reaching my goal. If you too have been blessed by the IRS this April, consider coming out to the Sidewalk Cafe this Friday evening, or perhaps just visiting the links at left as usual.
I hope you had a wonderful holiday, and are enjoying the glorious weather.
Go Hufflepuff!
