Harry P

Here I am a mere three days before my GRE exam and I'm spending an inordinate amount of time thinking about the upcoming Harry Potter book (and the movie, but mostly the book) Is it a little insane how excited I am for this?

I ended up pre-ordering my book from the Harvard Coop in Harvard Square with the intention of going to their midnight party (I know, super nerdy, i know, but it's the last chance I'd have to do it right?) but I had no clue that the midnight party is actually going to be a huge event throughout Harvard Square. Before I was mostly anticipating me and a bunch of 12 year olds (which it still probably will be) standing in line with me listening to my iPod (to avoid any bastards who decide to turn to the last chapter and blurt out what happens), but I'm actually kind of excited by this party thing now. The whole event smacks of geekiness, splendidly and shamelessly. The kind of sad part is that almost all my friends at work seem to show a complete disinterest in Harry Potter, which sucks. One co-worker did but he left the lab earlier this month, and then another friend who is still here is taking the GREs on the 21st. So I could be alone in attending this event, alas.

I am a little concerned that the wristbands to line up at the Coop start being given out to people with preorders at 5 pm and I'm sure I can't make it there after work til 6 pm at the earliest. Think of all those slimy children who don't have school any more who will get there way before I can; I don't wanna have to wait forever after midnight to actually get my book. Ack!

Alright, I'm stopping this here. I'm writing this at 1 am on Friday night/Sat morning. Coolest kid in school.
