Butterbeer and Blankets

As I pore over my well-loved, dog-eared copies of the Harry Potter series in search of the perfect senior quote, I am drawn to the idea of initiating my project with a sample of comfort food recipes. As I get all warm and fuzzy inside [despite the 90-degree heat today] dreaming of snuggling by the fire in the Gryffindor common room, with a warm butterbeer and a cozy blanket, I yearn for fall and for the lovely shepherd's pies my mom always makes to welcome fall.

Why Hello There, Internet.

I'm sure you're all wondering why I've gathered you here today...

I have one mission with this blog, which is, essentially, to pass AP Government and Economics. However, I do have slightly more creative ambitions for this project as well. The basic premise of the senior project is to learn or create something that will somehow better prepare me for my future...[for example, learning to repair a car engine, or perhaps, training to run a marathon]...BUT, being the indecisive teenager that I am, I decided to combine two lovely ideas into one glorious, yearlong project that will definitely [hopefully] earn me an "A" for my senior year!
