My names Kelly and I'm from America. I live in Russia as an expat, and, well, lots of interesting things happen to me. This blog is supposed to be about Pop culture, but really, its me trying to understand what's going on in this world where things our constantly changing and crazy ideas are being let loose. In my mind, the world is Wonderland, and I'm Alice.

High School

Again, I am sooooo sorry that I haven't posted in forever. High school is a bit harder than I expected... Going from middle school to high school is like a big slap in the face. And the worst part is that my school is trying to "prepare" us for college before any of us are ready to even think about that. During the first week of school, our college counselor gave us a speech about our "plan". What is the plan? It's basically everything that we need to do this year to make sure that we are prepared to apply to university in two years. It needs to include:
  1. What summer courses/volunteer programs/summer jobs we want to get into or do
  2. What we want to study in university
  3. What University we want to go to or at least what countries we are going to apply in
  4. What we need to do to make sure that we are able to study that subject and get into that university
Now, this list of course is only supposed to be mental, but I wouldn't be surprised if our ticket out of school for the summer was a piece of paper with exactly those things on it. Well it's Autumn break now, so I should be happier the next time I post.

Day 30: What affect has Harry Potter had on your life and how much does it mean to you?

Well, Harry Potter is my childhood. It's as simple as that. I remember waking up with my mom and sisters at midnight, and going to the bookstore in our small town in England just to be the first ones to get the newest Harry Potter books. I remember dragging my parents to every movie, and getting extremely upset when my friends saw one of the movies before me. And only a few months ago, when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two came out, I remember being almost in tears when I found out that my flight to visit my friend was the morning of the day that the movie came out, and I was going to miss the midnight showing at the cinema. Without Harry Potter, my life would be quite boring, since 75% of the things I think about are either Harry Potter, or Harry Potter related. And it's sort of weird, and this will make me sound like such a loser, but Harry, Ron and Hermione almost feel like childhood friends to me. They were more than just characters in books an movies. They were and will always be my fictional friends and heroes. Aww I'm crying right now, and I feel like such a nerd, but even though it's over, Harry Potter will always be a part of my life.

Day 29: Did you enjoy A Very Potter Musical?

YES! I thought it was so funny! I love Lauren Lopez, she's hilarious!

Day 28: Do you listen to Wizard Wrock? What do you think about it?

Ok, this is makes me sound really stupid, but I've been on their website so many times, and I can't figure out how to listen to it.

Day 27: Would you rather own the Invisibility Cloak, the Resurrection Stone or the Elder Wand?

The Invisibility Cloak.













P.S, sorry I've been MIA, the first couple of weeks of being a Freshman suck.
