Magic

Who knew that magic would be so enthralling? I mean of course I knew it would be interesting, it is magic for goodness sake, but I didn't realize just how interesting this would be. Who would have thought that the history-hater would now take books out from the library for interest's sake on historical figures?! But even the most boring of subjects (like A History of Magic. That one is actually taught by a ghost!), would actually prove to be most fascinating than the most interesting of subjects in elementary school? 

Also, the food here is delicious. There is unlimited food, and there is something for everyone to enjoy, no matter how picky they are! It makes me so happy to see that there are healthy options. I was worried that there wouldn't be and I would be stuck eating junk food, like at summer camp. 

Oh! And our dormitories! They are super cool. So everyone is separated into different houses, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff or Slytherin (I'm in Hufflepuff - but only because I asked. The sorting hat nearly put me in Ravenclaw). Each of the houses has a tower, where the students have a common room and dorms and stuff. So ours is hidden behind this painting, and you need to tell her the password to get in. She talks! All the paintings here move and stuff! Anyways, I digress. In the Gryffindor common room, it's really cozy, lots of couches, tables, and rugs. But one of the coolest features I think is that the boys can't get into the girl's dormitory. Apparently, the stairs turn into a slide if someone tries! I would really love to see that happen.

Anyways, I believe that is all for now, I actually have a ton of homework to do. They certainly don't go easy on students here!
