So far in my summer class I've had no problems (of course it's only been a week). But I really agree they should be banned from the classroom altogether.

I always felt that she still understood exactly what it was like to be in middle school/junior high, even though she was decades older when she wrote those books. <br /> The last time I went to Europe was in college one summer, and it was wonderful. You should try going someday; there are hostels you can stay in that aren't very expensive, and there are good deals on tickets too.

Anyway, I like Ron and Hermione too, though I always thought that Hermione would be good with Harry too. I heard that the actor who played Harry had a crush on the actress who played Hermione when they first met, but they ended up just being friends.

I kind of think that if I worked in an office, I'd be like the female version of Dwight, because I think it's important to enforce the rules. I don't like most of the reality shows either because of how they portray the people's differences. On the other hand, I think that some of the people on that show "perform" for the camera; that is, I think they often act out on purpose.

Even though, erm, I'm stymied right now about who I'd pick... Also the questions about the TV shows. Favorite cancelled TV show: Arrested Development. Shows I wish would be cancelled - all the reality crap that relies on the main "characters" being freaks. <br /><br />Hope Dwight continues to please!
