yay for coffee
coffee is my life saver during the week.
This weekend was *awesome*. Pat arrived in Woods Hole on Friday and he stayed till Sunday afternoon. I feel guilty for sleeping a lot of the time he was here. But I was still really tired from last week. He was super sweet and I really needed that this weekend. Things are slowly starting to go worse here. Work is becoming far too time-consuming. And I know that's why we are here, but it's hard to know that we will be putting in all this effort only to walk away in 3 weeks. People in the house get increasingly loud. Maybe being crazy and being loud is how they like to de-stress, but it's wearing on me slowly. When I'm stressed, I like to get away in silence and peace. *sigh* I dunno.
But this weekend was really nice. I had a good time relaxing and such. I'm so lucky to have him...
In other news... I FINISHED HARRY POTTER!!!! omg. I didn't know what to think afterwards...
Everything was like... turned upside-down by the end and I'm still trying to decide if i like it.
-Relationships-
Yay for Ron and Hermione!! Enough said I think.
Fleur was mega-annoying at the beginning. I was probably just as annoyed as Mrs. Weasley that her and Bill were getting married. But the end came... one of the last true smiles I had towards the end came when Fleur proclaimed that she was beautiful enough for both of them and that she would stay with Bill. Because the statement of beauty is so patently hers, but she goes beyond what we all expected from her. And I dunno... it made me happy inside.
Still not sure about Remus and Tonks. Dumbledore dies... people get hurt... and we get Tonks angsting over the fact that Remus won't be with her... I'm not so sure how that fits. It might just be a statement that despite everything that has happened, life and love will go on in its own way. But in some ways I'm not sure it was appropriate. *wibbles for Sirius*
Harry and GInny. I had to put down the book when they kissed and just grin stupidly to myself. But at the same time... can anyone say cliche? It was like a Hollywood love story and I'm not sure I liked it. Someone (I forget who) had said that Ginny is kinda weird in this book. Like.... she's suddenly popular and being high-schoolish. Which is expected. She is 15 (or 16?) after all. But then the end of the book comes and she's all mature and like "I understand Harry". And dont get me wrong, it was a beautiful moment of perfect understanding between the two of them. But given her previous behavior... I feel she should have protested more... Not that I think for a minute that she's not going to sit back while Harry goes off to save the world. I dunno..
-Snape and the Death-
*wibble* Poor Dumbledore.
But I still firmly believe that Snape is good. In fact, this book may have solidified it. And now, knowing my predictions, I'm going to be dead wrong. I bookmarked 2 essays about this in my memories should anyone care to take a peek. To me, the thing that tells me that Snape betrayed no one comes from Dumbledore pleading. The instant he started pleading, I knew there was something more going on. Dumbledore wouldn't beg to be spared ever. I don't think I can say it better than anyone else around me really. This is part of the plan.
And the biggest importance to Dumby's death lies in the fact that Harry is now alone. If he wants to protect his friends, all he can do is stand his own ground. He has no one to hide behind.
Right.
-Other Stuff-
# Will Harry go back to school? I think he will despite what he says. Unless the school is closed, which I really hope doesn't happen.
# Hocruxes: What a great idea! But there's a lot left. How could she possibly fit all of that in one book. Unless it's 2739074 pages long... which I wouldn't complain about... *ponders* maybe some have been destroyed already...
Argh I can't type anymore. I will end by saying that <3 Draco. I felt so bad for him. He seemed so... desperate and alone. His family threatened... being told to kill... He clearly is not Death Eater material... *cry*
Maybe more thoughts later..
Work is bleh. Spent all day in front of a comp. And now to work.
