WHAT UP, FOLLOWERS?
I have this great site for you to check out if you're a Harry Potter fan. It's called Muggle Hustle, and it's a 24 year old guy who is reading the HP books for the first time! (how he never read them before is beyond me, I can only imagine what his childhood must have been like). Basically he writes his thoughts and reactions in the most hilarious way possible as he makes his way through all seven books. So far he has completed six. It's been a great journey for him. ("These are the greatest books I've ever read and I don't understand why I didn't read them until I was 24!" -Muggle Hustle, probably)

WARNING TO ALL ADULTS: The language is awful. Like for real. He probably says "the F word" once every other comment or so. I cannot be held accountable for said profanities since I wasn't clever enough to think of Muggle Hustle. Unfortunately. Check him out if you are
a) a HP fan,
b) not offended by intense profanity or
c) both of the above. Preferably this one.
Happy New Year, may your resolutions of being more mature, working harder and using less profanity be upheld! And when they don't, never fear. There's always Muggle Hustle to ease the pain.
Love to you all.
Cheers,
Soph
PS I could have written something meaningful about this whole year being a gigantic learning experience and I've learned so much blah blah blah but you know what I've really learned? That that annoys me to no end. So I decided to share some humour instead of some philosophical nonsense that no one really wants to read. YOU KNOW YOU LOVE IT. Cheeky cats. S'laters for real now.

December 30th: Happy Owlidays!
WHAT UP EVERYONE? Hope your holidays were full of laughter and fruit cake and cheer. (Maybe not the fruit cake, actually. That is gross and I can't really imagine anyone legitimately liking it).
The reason for the "Owlidays" in the title is because I received several owl related things for Christmas. So. Yes. Just to clear that up.
For real, though. I got approximately five owl things. Life is great. In case you're confused, the reason for my owl obsession is this: Sophie means wisdom in Greek, and Athena was the goddess of wisom. THREE GUESSES WHAT HER SYMBOL WAS. If your first guess was not owl, then you are sadly mistaken.
Apologies for not having written in a while. I've been a tad busy here in DC. With what, you ask? Well, I will tell you. I have acquired two internships (one at a scholarship foundation and the other at a Senator's office). I can't go into a ton of detail for fear of breaking some office rule but I can tell you that I enjoy both of them A LOT. I get edit things and I also am being trained to lead tours at the Capitol itself. I am super duper excited about that one but I am also wigging out a little bit. I have no idea how I'll remember everything but I guess if I forget, I can always make stuff up...(that is a joke. I wouldn't actually do that).
Anyway, our departure date for Haiti has been set for the 22nd. We spend two nights in Miami and then arrive in PAP on the 24th. So. It is rapidly approaching and I am starting to second guess myself a little. Maybe second guessing is the wrong phrase. I am so unsure of what to expect that I can't picture myself there yet. I can't imagine what I'll be doing, I can't conjure up smells or sounds or images yet.
However, there isn't really anything I can do except try to go in withOUT expectations. I am not expecting to love it right away, nor to hate it. I am going in with a blank slate. (NO SPOILERS PLEASE). I am very excited though. Eeeeeeeek.
Love to you all and Happy New Year,

December 3rd
Today we remember the life of my grandfather, Tom Quirk. He had been struggling with cancer for the last two months and today we had to let him go. I would like to dedicate this post to him.
Too often we take for granted our good health and good fortune, forgetting that Lady Luck is as fickle as they come. While I often roll my eyes at the phrase "count your blessings," today I put that aside and ask all of you (my 4.5 readers) to just be glad you're as lucky as you are.
Cheers,
Soph
