Dear fellow NEA bloggers,
This is an apology letter to you from Sanja written in the very early hours of a Thursday in August.
I have neglected you all over the past while and I don't feel proud of this. In fact, I'm a little ashamed. I would say that it's all because I'm too busy though I know that I usually have my own ways to find time. I hope that you will be able to forgive me and that we can get this here blog show up and running once again.
So, now, what have I been up to all this time?? Well, dear friends, let me tell you.
First and foremost, I graduated from high school (WHAT?!) I kind of still can't believe it myself. We had our whole commencement aka diploma-receiving ceremony thing. I got some scholarship money. We went to a prom banquet thing. It was all good fun. And then school ended. Forever.
But I didn't have any time to be sad or nostalgic or whatever about it because next thing I knew, I had a summer job and was earning a good sum of money for college! (Here's to hoping I don't have to get a job while studying :P )
Then along with the bajillion other Harry Potter nerds, I watched it all end. Indeed, I donned my Gryffindor apparel for the amazing midnight showing of an incredible movie. It was an amazing experience, which I relived one week later. Unlike many others though, I don't feel like it's the end. To me, Harry Potter is immortal. It lasts forever. And though I bawled my eyes out during the movie, none of those tears were fore the so-called "end of childhood" or "end of an era" or whatever. They were tears for Severus, Fred, Lupin, Tonks, Mad Eye, Hedwig, Dobby, and all the others who were killed protecting the wizarding world from evil.
Oh, and then I woke up early and got a Pottermore account. My username's AurorRiver16, which is really cool to me because it sounds like I'm River Song, the Auror. Doctor Potter FTW (yes, I just made that merger up. it's a thing now. Also severe is a thing now. that was severe.)
And then I went down on an impromptu trip through Washington and into Oregon. On our way back, I bought the unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook - guess who's making pumpkin pasties this weekend? 8D
And now, in one week, I'm leaving on a jet plane to move into the city where I'll be spending the next 4 or so years of my life in university - indeed, this is the same city that Jess visited earlier this year, so here's to hoping she comes and visits again! :D
And that's what you missed on "Sanja's Summer Life"
Sorry for the hiatus. Double sorry for the long post. Excited to read you all on a daily basis again (let's get posting, girls)!
Until next Thursday, this is AurorRiver16 signing out!
