  >Where am I going?  Off on a two-day drive >to swim in the Junior 
  Olympics. A five day meet, and I only swim for...well, I know two 
  days.  I have yet to find out how many relays I'm doing, so I'll see 
  on what day I swim those when I get here.  But it's really not that 
  big of a thing, I don't feel like I deserve to go(and if you knew all 
  the details...*sighs*)  but I'm going all the same.  I'll get dead 
  last in the two events I'm swimming(and even though my mom gives me 
  all that blah-blah-blah about with that attitude, I won't win 
  anyways, I really don't want to get my hopes up like I usually do.  
  I've done that before with competitions, and it doesn't work for 
  me.), but maybe I have a shot of getting a nice big medal in any 
  relays I'll be able to swim. Who knows, I did that two years ago and 
  I have a big 'ol shiny silver medal in my room.

  Anyways, as I never posted a sort of intro message, I'll try a bit of 
  it now.  I'm fifteen, female, and living in Arkansas.  I picked up 
  the Harry Potter books just in the beginning of this year.  I wasn't 
  reading any other books at the time, and I decided to see just what 
  the big hype was about.  And, of course, I couldn't put the book 
  down.  Infact, I sped through them all in less than a week.  Did the 
  same thing when I re-read them shortly after.

  >>~Aldrea, trying to quickly get songs so as to burn a CD for the very 
  very long trip ahead of her.  

  Hi!  I am somewhat new to this myself, starting to read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone during Thanksgiving Weekend(I nabbed the book from my little sister who checked it out at her school library!)  Then when she and my sister got the rest of the books for Christmas, I devoured them within a week as well!  
  Good luck on your swim meet!  I hope you enjoy yourself, no matter how you place.  Oh and you can try to get the songs from the Harry Potter soundtrack burned, if you don't have that.  That is one of the cd's I have permanently stuck in my cd player.  Great music! 

  Jennifer
