Sometimes I Wish Harry Potter Was Real

I wish this because if it were so, it would mean I was a witch. There’s no way I could be a muggle. So if I were a witch I’d have access to a remembrall, most likely my mother would have bought it for me some time in jr. high, since that’s when my forgetfulness really started to be a problem. But unlike Neville I’m pretty sure I could remember what it was I forgot if I could remember I forgot something.

Take today for example. I went to school. I actually get there a little early. So I get ready to leave my car, in order to catch a bus to campus. My list of things to do as I get ready to leave are as follows: 1) Turn off radio 2) Turn off heater 3) Turn off car 4) Put keys in purse 5) Double check, keys are in purse 6) Grab back pack 7) Get out/lock door-wait keys are in purse right? yes, okay get out. Well, my morning didn’t go quite like that. The step that I messed up on was number 6. (Mom- I bet you thought I locked my keys in the car again huh?) On account of the fact my back pack wasn’t in my car. It was at home. I was in Ogden, home was in Syracuse. This could be a problem.

If I drove home then I’d miss class. And possibly be late for my next class, the class where I have a professor with a strict no tardiness policy. (I pray for the day when he’s late, because then I would say something along the lines of “This class starts at 10 every morning, we’re ready. You’re not. Maybe you should think about dropping this class”) But I also required a few items in my backpack for the no tardiness allowed class. To shorten this up a bit, I ended up skipping my first class to go buy the supplies I would need for my second class. I figured I can’t understand anything that professor says, so I’ll just have to learn it from the text anyways. (Oh I should mention first class is Physiology, and second class is Visual Arts)

Well I got home at the end of the day, none the worse for wear. (Except some fish-tailing on the free way, and a full out doughnut in the middle of the road. That was fun- and it was NOT on purpose) In fact I was feeling pretty good.

Okay well this is getting a lot longer than I intended it to be so I’ll just mention the other reason why I want a remembrall. I’ve lost a very important notebook. It has all the notes I’ve taken for this semester, not to mention an assignment that is due on Wednesday. I really need to remembr where I could’ve possibly left that darn thing.

Oh to see another case of someone who wishes Harry Potter was real look up ‘Harry Potter intervention” on youtube. You’ll laugh your socks off, and feel the sudden urge to purchase a swiffer wet jet.
