Alas! Earwax!

Last week was rough. Going back to work after such a busy, fun-filled spring break was almost unbearable, so I've been consoling myself by looking back at pictures and eating Cadbury eggs -- I can't bring myself to actually eat my chocolate frog.

Hogwarts

Shopping for wands at Ollivanders

Delicious butterbeer

In the castle

Owl Post

Hagrid's hut

Monster Book of Monsters

Hermione's Yule Ball dress

In the castle

Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom

Mandrakes!

Now back to real life.

But speaking of this post's title, Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans were a cool $11.

Orlando Spring Break

I am so sad that spring break is over. My family and I went to Orlando to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (duh!) and Disney World. Other than drinking copious amounts of butterbeer, checking out Hogwarts, and having a wand choose me, I spent my time relaxing, visiting with family, and (unfortunately) doing some grading. I honestly think I'll be sadder about going back to school tomorrow than my students.

I'm still trying to pull together my pictures from the trip, but here are a few.

Hogsmeade

Hogwarts

And oh yeah, I finally cut my hair.
