YES!! I FINALLY GOT MY POTTERMORE EMAIL! And on my first day of school too! :3 Anyways, it totally makes up for the crappiest first day of school EVER. This morning was all rainy so I wore a cardigan, thinking that it would be cold. Later on, probably 3rd period, it gets incredibly humid and hot. Then of course, 5th period JUST starts and then there happens to be a blackout and therefore we all have to evacuate to the field, where I was toasted alive -_____- After 20 minutes( power went back on), we all go back to the classroom to find that the power went out AGAIN so it’s completely dark in the classroom and there’s no A/C. There was no way that I was going back to the field again so I was glad that my teacher just went through her classroom rules in the dark, ahah.
I love all my classes though; the day was just a bit chaotic. I can’t wait for things to calm down~
/raaaaaaaaant [:
I would really appreciate it if my Pottermore came today (or soon at least) since it’s my birthday and all and that would be an amazing present. I’m jelly of all those people that already got their email ):

Books~
I went to Border’s today and snagged myself two books that I’ve been planning to add to my collection for a while. I ended up buying Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë~ Wuthering Heights is one of my favorite books ever, so I was so happy that it was only $3.50 (50% off) :D I was debating whether or not to buy Please Look After Mom by Kyung-sook Shin, but I passed on it for the time being. I was really hoping to find some other Haruki Murakami/Gabriel García Márquez/Jane Austen books but everything was so disorganized that it was impossible to find it D: I’m sad that Border’s is closing but it’s okay since Barnes and Noble is my ultimate favorite anyways ♥

One Hundred Love Sonnets: XVII
I don’t love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz,
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as one loves certain obscure things,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that doesn’t bloom but carries
the light of those flowers, hidden, within itself,
and thanks to your love the tight aroma that arose
from the earth lives dimly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you directly without problems or pride:
I love you like this because I don’t know any other way to love,
except in this form in which I am not nor are you,
so close that your hand upon my chest is mine,
so close that your eyes close with my dreams.

—Erica Jong (via kari-shma)
“It’s clear to me now that I have been moving toward you and you toward me for a long time. Though neither of us was aware of the other before we met, there was a kind of mindless certainty bumming blithely along beneath our ignorance that ensured we would come together. Like two solitary birds flying the great prairies by celestial reckoning, all of these years and lifetimes we have been moving toward one another.”
—Robert James Waller (via sleepingtigers)
