I was bored and feeling Harry Potter deprived after I finished listening to the audio books, so I turned to the movies.
I watched the fifth movie, because that's the movie I watched the less, then I watched the third movie. Then I watched the first movie.
Oh. My. God.
The actors looked so YOUNG! They were so adorable! OHMAHGOD!!
My favourite was the boy who pays Seamus Finnigan. Close seconds are Neville and Ron.
I totally couldn't get over how young they looked. I hadn't seen that movie in years and since then I watched mostly the later movies because I have 3, 4 and 5 on DVD.
The main thing is thatI had forgotten how adorable the characters were. I looked around every crowd scene and tried to recognize everybody. I think the first two movies were Emma Watson's best Hermione roles, and Ron, Seamus and Neville were just too cute.

I'm not dead, just so's you know
I started college... last week. It has been a whole new experience. First, the bus. Strangers everywhere. Not the same bus driver and not the same passengers. Not even the same kind of bus. That threw me for a loop. But, it's not that bad. Except for lately, they switched the bus drivers and the new guy seems kind of... ehm. But other than that, I have no complaints.
The school itself completely surprised me. On the first day there, I participated in an 'Amazing Race' of sorts and proceeded to run around the building with everybody. High school this ain't.
Also, I am among the youngest in my class. There are actual adults in there, like really. That was weird. But a cool thing is that there's like three levels of seats (I call them bleacher seats) and I sit on the top level. That entertains me. Another thing that entertains me is that I don't have to ask to go to the bathroom.
I know, the simplest things.
Anyway, you can leave the room whenever you want, although it's not recommended that you skip classes. But I left the class without having to even look at the teacher. That was certainly different.
It was really weird to look around at all the unfamiliar people in the room with me and think of them as 'my class'. Where was my best friend? Where was the class clown? Where was one of the friendliest guys I have ever known? Where were all the familiar faces? Where was MY class.
As it turns out, my class had been replaced with these new people that occupied the seats in front of me (I sit in the back). I've found that it's not such a bad trade off. At least I'll be able to make new friends. I still miss my class though.
I was filling out information on a subject divider and on the line for School, I almost put the name of my high school before remembering where I was. I wonder when I'll stop referring to my high school as my class and my school and start calling them my old class and my old school.
No time soon, I fear. I really do miss my class.
And totally off topic, if anyone gets the chance to watch the movie Dear Zachary, do it. Though I suggest that you prepare yourself mentally for it because what's in it will probably have you feeling very worn out after. Personally, I was angered and saddened all at once and now have a very low opinion of the justice system and authority in general.
But other than that, it's a good movie and the ending was very touching.

Different
My brothers started school today. This is the first time since the end of second grade that me and my brothers won't be in school together.
My school starts on the eighth. It's gonna be really weird for me to go into school without the familiar classmates I've gone with since kindergarten.
I'm taking a public transit to college and that's gonna be a totally different bus scene with total strangers. That's going to be really weird.
I can't believe that it's already time for another school year to start. It doesn't seem that long ago that I started my grade 12 year and been excited for graduation.
There's only gonna be 3 other people from my school going to my college and only one of them will be in my class with me.
My schooling life has been officially turned upsidown.
