A moment for Minerva's sarcasm:
Minerva Mcgonagall: Well, usually when a person shakes their head, they mean 'no.' So unless Miss Edgecombe is using a form of sign language as yet unknown to humans
Minerva Mcgonagall: I wonder, how you can expect to gain an idea of my usual teaching methods if you continue to interrupt me? You see, I do not generally permit people to talk when I am talking.
Minerva Mcgonagall: I should have made my meaning plainer. He has achieved high marks in all Defense Against the Dark Arts tests set by a competent teacher.
Minerva Mcgonagall: Are you quite sure you wouldn't like a cough drop, Dolores?

Insomnia
It’s 1:30 am. I have British Studies at 8:30 am. I can’t sleep because every time I close my eyes I think of my family and Brian and how much I miss them. It’s nights like this when I miss being at home the most. I wake up everyday here and just say to myself “you live in England” and I can’t believe this is really happening.

Week Two

Beginning
I made it to England through tears and turbulence, and I have experienced every emotion in the process. After a flight and two hour bus ride I had my first look at my new home. It took my breath away. You know the look a kid has on Christmas morning when they see they have gotten exactly what they’ve been waiting for all year? Yep. That was me. This place is literally like stepping into a...
Going Away

Brian’s family brought more stories, food and laughter with them and its because of today that I am certain I am so blessed. I have two families who love me unconditionally. And even though I missed...

Ambivalence
I thought that by now I would be overwhelmed with excitement to leave. But with every exciting thought, a tiny reminder creeps in the pictures of the Paris and Florence that occupy my brain. Homesick. That is what I feel. With the small moments of excitement come a wave of homesickness that brings me to tears. How can you miss home when you haven’t even left yet?
