The girls are back in town

Post by Amelia--

Classes start up next week. Ready to get back into the swing of things. I need something to keep me busy. Both of us are moved in. I really like our decorations. We are really showing off our nerdy selves. Lots of Harry Potter posters up, mostly from Isabella's end. I will try to get more of my HP stuff up as well.

Can't think of much to say right now. I'm going to read some info about the London riots to find out more about it. One of us will keep a blog going about that.

The anglophile in me worries

Post by Isabella-

There's a riot going on in London right now and I'm sitting here in my dorm watching ignorant people discuss the issue on Omegle.

Here are the facts as they stand now:
  • A drug dealer was shot by police officers
  • After that, people led a peaceful protest
  • The protest turned violent
  • Police have been injured, some hospitalized
  • Rioting and looting has been going on for three nights
  • A mass clean up is underway. For more information on clean up efforts, visit http://www.riotcleanup.co.uk/
  • Riots have taken place in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol, Leeds, Nottingham.
  • Parliment to be recalled on Thursday to discuss the riots.
  • The Met police plan to deploy 13,000 officers in London over the next 24 hours.
  • A 26-year-old man was shot in a car in Croydon last night.
For the latest information on the U.K. riots, visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/.

I will add my opinion about these riots later today when I have more time to sit down and write.

Quick Update:

Post by Isabella-

Hey.

I just wanted to do a quick update. I've been a little busy so I'm sorry that I haven't been posting that much. I was up for the entire Pottermore experience, during the same week my A.C. stopped working for two days, I moved back to school, my mom had car problems, I unpacked everything and I read three books. Today roommate and I had a TwiBadMovie marathon. I forgot my ethernet cable at home so I need to buy one soon. Supposedly, I'm going tomorrow to buy another. Besides that I'm just preparing to get back into the swing of things. Everyone moves in on Wednesday so I'm going to enjoy my time away from people while I can.

More soon,

Loves.
