Yay for Darius!! Graduations is so bittersweet. Congrats to all of my friends who walked the ever so daunting stages of various university. I'm excited and curious to see where life will lead everyone.
A few days ago, I went on an exciting journey through Pottermore, JK Rowlings site for die-hard Harry Potter fans like me. Unfortunately my sad journey ended at book one when I miserably discovered book two hadn't come out yet. No more revelations of exclusively released details from the author until another time for me I guess. I was sorted into Ravenclaw which took me not too much by surprise. We are described as at times odd and eccentric, eager to learn and never prone to turn down intellectual challenges. I suppose that could be me.
In the last Harry Potter book, requested in Dumbledore's will, Harry receives a golden snitch, a game object that recognizes the touch of the first flesh to come in contact with it. Dumbledore enchants the snitch so that it displays this message upon Harry's touch:
"I open at the close"
Interesting words. An upon that cryptic note...
"...many places you would like to see are just off the map and many thing you want to know are just out of sight or a little beyond your reach. But someday you'll reach them all, for what you learn today for no reason at all will help you discover the wonderful secrets of tomorrow." -Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth
