First Week in the MTC!!

Hi all!! First week was great and also terrible because I got a killer round of the FLU!!!! I was so sick. And then on the day I got better, I fell into stinging nettle when I was running on the grounds. It felt like a bunch of bees stinging me over and over and if they had wanted to amputate my finger it would have been just fine with me. So, my roommates and I came up with a list of ways the MTC is like Hogwarts, so I hope you enjoy it because it made us laugh pretty hard.

1. There are these crazy gardens with hedges that are just like the maze in HP 4

2. We are surrounded by this forrest that we aren't allowed to go in, the Forbidden Forrest, and I went running there and was attacked by a crazy plant (stinging nettle)

3. There is a groundskeeper and he actually has a hut!!

4. There is a hospital wing (where I keep ending up at) and Sis. Edwards is like Madam Pomfrey!! She gives me all the medications and everything I need

5. We are in dormitories with bunk beds

6. We have a pitch

7. We were "sorted" on the first day into districts and seriously I kid you not they called out all our names to come to the front and then to go join our groups/ houses

8. We are someone in northern England, and the grounds are HUGE and protected by a big wall

9. There is a great hall where we eat and convene in every day

10. Today we are going to the villiage of Chorely for sweets- Hogsmeade!

11. We have copious amounts of replenishing foods!

12. My roommate actually had a tin of bertie botts beans that she got in London!!

13. The general English culture is very Harry potter to me.

Its been a fun week but again, hard and the sickness doesn't help. But I made some good friends already and our District is super fun even though the LOVE to sing ALLLLL the time. And I don't. haha. WELL WRITE ME PEOPLE!!! Miss  you all.
