Yes the new job is a good thing. I am super stoked for him to return You ought to try couchsurfing in Europe, where you can. Also, my man just spent two and a half months travelling through Europe, etc. with his good friend. if you have any questions, I'm sure he'd be glad to give you god advice on what was expensive, or worth it and where to stay!

As far as Harry Potter goes..... LOL. I reread the book too, just before the movie came out. It had also been a while. In general, I was impressed, but disappointed I had to wait. I'm really far too impatient. I really liked it all though. The only part I was irritated with was the scene in which Dobby died. I had to stop myself from laughing when people were literally crying in the theatre. Call me insensitive if you must

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I was feeling so awful all last week about everything, but meeting nice people on here really makes my day
