Dear Journal,
I'm bored. I haven't written in a few weeks, but that's because there's nothing to write about. All I've really been doing for the past few weeks is reading, watching TV, sending owls to my friends, and every now and then I've decided to go grocery shopping with my parents.
I guess there's one thing I can update on: My mom finally stopped putting that jinx on the computer so I can finally go back on it. Oh, I forgot something else, I got my wand yesterday. It's has a Phoenix feather, it is 8 ¾ inches long, and it is made out of redwood. Isn't that awesome! Now all I have to get are my spellbooks, a cauldron, a pair dragon hide gloves, a telescope, a set of brass scales, a set of crystal phials, and I think I'll ask my parents for my own owl. Oh, and I'll need a trunk too; to carry all of my stuff.
I can't wait for school to start. Summers are so boring. There's never anything to do, my friends are never around, and, like I said in all of my other entries we have the same thing to eat almost every day. IT SUCKS! You know what I think I might do next summer? I might just ask my parents to get me a camera and take m on a trip to some foreign country or something. Then, at least, I might have something to do over the summer.
On a different thought, I hope I'm in Gryffindor house. I mean who wouldn't want to be in it: Harry Potter's going to be a second year Gryffindor student, he's my hero, Hermione Granger is going to be a second year Gryffindor student also and she's like the smartest person in school I heard. Plus, my friend Ginny's brother, Ron, is also going to be a second year Gryffindor student. And to top things off, Ginny herself is coming to Hogwarts this year, too. I hope we're in the same house.
Well, it's getting late. (Yawn) I think I'll stop writing now for the night. Good night, Journal. I'll write again later.
Hallie
