Albert Einstein was a genius.

Albert Einstein was a genius.

Case and point, he said this: "I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution."

There's Always Potter

So since I got home tonight, I've been cramming/studying extensively for an editing test I'm set to take tomorrow as part of the application process for an internship in Salt Lake. I decided to take a quick break to unwind a little and wanted to page through a book--something I could pick up and read a few pages from the middle of the book and relax a little. I scanned my bookshelf, none of my books looking appealing at all, when I spotted the shrine on top of my bookshelf.

Also known as my Harry Potter collection.

I smiled fondly while I gazed on the solid blocks of colors on the spines of the British editions. I felt my heart ease and my mind relax.

I've known it for a few years now, but Harry Potter has never failed to give me a boost when I need it. It's nice to know that it's still there for me.

Now, I just need to channel the spirit of Hermione and I will kick trash on this test.

Life as I know it

This is why I love NNWM: ten days into the month, and I'm two full days of the expected word count, I'm nearly done with the shirt I'm making in my sewing class, my Vic Lit professor cancelled one of our assignments and postponed the other (from being due in November to being due during finals week), my dishes are clean (my room will be too after this weekend), I'm up to date on homework and readings, I still have time to hang out with that rugged bear-wrestler of a man I call my boyfriend, I helped a girl who speaks English as a second language with a paper for her class, I spent time with my rad family last weekend, and Thanksgiving is in two weeks.

So yeah, life is busy, but it's awesome, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

A Little Out of Control

Maybe this is normal and it just seems super expensive to me for some unknown reason, but for the month of September my combined gas and electric bill was over $80. And that seems like a LOT.

Especially considering that when I lived at Cinnamon Tree, I was usually paying about about $9.00 for utilities.

Basically I'm just sad because my bank account is looking a little sickly these days. I should just set up a cot in the library and just live there.
