WIZARD VIBES

HI EVERYONE!

THIS POST IS GOING TO BE A RANDOM UPDATE ON MY LIFE (I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S INTERESTING SOMEHOW, I'LL JUST WRITE ABOUT IT ANYWAY). 

IT IS NOW TIME TO REVEAL SOME PRIVATE DETAILS AND WITH THAT COMES MY LATEST ADDICTION: HARRY POTTER. THE BOOKS, THE MOVIES, THE NEW LOVE IN MY LIFE. BELIEVE ME OR NOT, THE SAD TRUTH IS THAT I ONLY STARTED WATCHING, AND WITH THAT CAME READING, HARRY POTTER NOW. I SAW THE FIRST MOVIE THREE YEARS AGO BUT COULDN'T REALLY BE BOTHERED KNOWING MORE ABOUT THE WORLD OF WIZARDS. I NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH I MISSED OUT ON! IT WAS PROBABLY 3 OR 4 WEEKS AGO THAT I WATCHED THE SECOND PART WITH A FRIEND AND I IMMEDIATELY FELL IN LOVE. THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE ON MY MIND THAN WATCHING THE NEXT PART AND HOW IT WOULD CONTINUE. THE ACTORS ARE BRILLIANT AND THE STORY EVEN MORE. ON SUNDAY I STARTED TO READ "HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE" AND I'M NEARLY DONE. WITH THE MOVIES I STOPPED AFTER THE 5TH PART AND CAN'T WAIT TO CONTINUE. SO THIS IS TO EVERYONE THAT IS IN THE DEAD END AND SEARCHES FOR MEANING IN LIFE: READ HARRY POTTER! WATCH HARRY POTTER! BE HARRY POTTER!

WELL, THAT'S THE ONLY SAD THING ABOUT MY NEW OBSESSION. HAVING ALL THIS MAGIC, HOGWARTS AND QUIDDITCH ON MY MIND, THERE IS A STRONG DESIRE TO BECOME A WIZARD. HONESTLY, I WOULD LOVE TO SPEND A SCHOOL YEAR AT HOGWARTS AND HAVE MY OWN WAND AND AN OWL AND SO ON. UNFORTUNATELY THIS WON'T BE POSSIBLE, LET'S FACE IT. SO I'LL JUST KEEP ON DREAMING AND READING.

BUT AS I SAID, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

OTHER THAN WIZARD STORIES, THERE ARE A GOOD FEW THINGS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. ESPECIALLY SCHOOL KEEPS ME BUSY, BUT IN A GOOD WAY. OTHER THAN IN GERMANY (SPECIAL GREETINGS TO MY FRIENDS AT HOME, IF ANY OF YOU ARE READING THIS NOW) THIS 10TH YEAR OF SCHOOL IS PRETTY RELAXED. IN IRELAND IT IS CALLED TRANSITION YEAR (TY) AND HELPS YOU FIND OUT ABOUT YOUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES AND IN WHAT DIRECTION YOU WANT TO GO, CAREER WISE.

FOR THAT REASON WE HAVE CERTAIN "SPECIAL" SUBJECTS, SUCH AS FITNESS, WOOD WORK, HOME ECONOMICS OR TOURISM, THAT SHOULD GIVE US A TASTE OF ALL THE DIFFERENT AREAS OF WORKINGS. THEY CHANGE EVERY 11 WEEKS AND ARE GOOD FUN!

MOREOVER THERE IS A SUBJECT CALLED "MINI COMPANY" WHERE YOU WORK IN SMALLER GROUPS AND AIM TO SET UP YOUR OWN BUSINESS. THIS IS PART OF A COMPETITION THAT MOST TRANSITION YEARS IN IRELAND TAKE PART IN. TO GET TO THE COMPETITION IN MARCH WE STILL HAVE TO WRITE OUR 20 PAGES BUSINESS REPORT, WHICH I TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR, AND START TO PRODUCE AND PROMOTE OUR ACTUAL PRODUCT.

AND ANOTHER PROJECT THAT I TAKE PART IN IS CALLED JUNK KOUTURE. THIS IS A FASHION COMPETITION WHERE DRESSES/OUTFITS ARE MADE FROM JUNK, MEANING OLD THINGS THAT YOU WOULD THROW AWAY, FOR EXAMPLE OLD FABRICS AND CLOTHES, TISSUE PAPER, BOTTLE LIDS,ELECTRONIC TRASH, ETC. I HOPE TO FINISH OUR DRESS SOON AND THEN I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AND GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS.

THIS IS PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING NOW, BUT THERE ARE EVEN MORE THINGS THAT I LOOK FORWARD TO. STAY TUNED!

LOTS OF LOVE, PAULINE ♥
