Off to Notting Hill

So... Remember how I was reading the Iliad? I'm now reading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. I think I'll be reading that for a while. At least I'm more than half way through the first one. Depending on how often I read this summer I may finish the series some time next year.

And I call myself a book worm.

But in news other than my feeling of failure, I get to go on my long awaited adventure to England next month. But I will not just be in England, I'll be staying on the well known street of Notting Hill with my aunt and uncle. I cannot begin to explain how much excitement is pouring from me. This trip will be my first out of country adventure and I'm determined to make it beyond exciting.

Because of this trip, I've been neglecting homework for clothing shopping. My goal for this year, other than to own a car of course, is to switch the clothing out of my closet for a style that is entirely my own. Right now there's a lot of tee-shirts in it and, while those are well and good, I want something slightly more elegant. I like jeans and all, but I love skirts. I need more...

This trip also makes me want to complete my other two short term life goals: getting a tattoo and bleaching my hair white.

Why I want to bleach my Crayola sepia colored hair, I'll never know, but I do. Maybe I'll do that the day before my trip and then dye it back to a normal color before I work the day after I get back... That can't be healthy for my hair.

For the tattoo, I want a Harry Potter themed tattoo. No, I'm sorry. I need a Harry Potter themed tattoo. Maybe one that says "Mischief  Managed" or possibly the Deathly Hallows symbol with "Felix Felicis" under it or around it. Yes. Something like that. My mother disproves.

I have another goal... To figure out how to write things in a witty manor. I can do such in small bursts, but I guess it comes with practice and that's what this blog is for. It's here to encourage me to write and it's been doing just that. I probably should have participated in "blog every day in April." But I didn't.

Too bad too. I would of had lots to go on about like England, Quidditch, my lovely garden I began to work on, my newly found allergy to caffeine, the angers of scheduling classes, and my experiences watching the movie Mrs. Miniver. April has been a very busy month! I guess I'll go on about it all tomorrow. Maybe even blog every day for the rest of the month! EGAD! That would be something. But writing is good for me. Even if it's just pointless ramblings to myself. Everyone must start somewhere even if that somewhere happens to be the middle of nowhere. Lets see how long my resolve to post lots will hold out. I'm sure I'll do fine on this one. Until tomorrow. :)
