Why IIT was like Hogwarts to Me

Now that it's been a good long time since I lasted posted, way back during that haze of months where I got my wisdom teeth out and then got a terrible ulcer from the pain medicine... We move on to November! Remember, remember.

I miss IIT and I miss Hogwarts =P 

How IIT was like Hogwarts to Me:

1. Step right up tooooo Hogwaaarts!: I got a letter in the mail and was taken far away from home. It wasn't delivered by an owl, but we do have a bird's nest that's permanently settled right by our mailbox.

2. Ghosts, ghosts everywhere: Architecture students during review week. Engineers every other time.

3. Homework: Every week was like taking my O.W.L.s.

4. Friends: They made me feel like I was at home... Completely and utterly at home. It's amazing to be around people who are completely like you.

5. Life: Like Harry, I was pulled from a rather dull, unmagical world into a completely awesome one.

6. Architecture: IIT didn't quite have revolving staircases and talking portraits, but the MTCC does have some amazing hidden rooms and I love the orange walls. Snow drifted 6 feet high against that outside once... We built a tunnel. 

7. Magic: Lasers and biomedical engineering aren't quite magic, but I'll take them as close enough.

8. Voldemort= Finals. I always needed a rest in the hospital wing after that week.

In other news, life is exhilarating and exhausting. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do in life, but I'm starting to enjoy the journey. I'm a lot further along in what I want career wise. Not quite there, but I see now what I want. Now it's time to figure out what path to get there. =) 

I've been working two jobs- I got an English/writing tutoring one, too =)- and applying for graduate schools and etc. What else... Dreaming a lot.

Now, Detective Conan chapter 836 awaits =) And yes, I've read every single one. One truth prevails!
