Hogwarts, Hogwarts,
Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald,
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling,
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare
And full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff.
So teach us stuff worth knowing,
Bring back what we forgot,
Just do your best
We'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot!
1: The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2: Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3: There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4: Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5: Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6: His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7: The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8: The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9: The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10: More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11: Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12: Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13: Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14: Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

post a commentWow - that's way too cool. In arriving at Fordham, I think you should eschew the George Washington Bridge for a ride across the Hudson with a half-giant!
Yeah, 'twould be very cool to take a first years' ride across and up the Hudson to the Bronx ... Interstingly, the professor who was copied on my acceptance letter is Mary Callaway, one of the OT specific faculty, and at her picture on the website (which I cannot seem to find on their site right now, I saw it a number of months ago thought) seems to be kind of like a shorter haired MCGonnegal (although Minerva always wears her hair in a bun so it sort of matches) ... since she's the one copied on my acceptance letter and I'm focussing in OT, I guess that means I have officially been sorted into Griffyndor.
but with a flaming red beard and the Weasley gravity towards Griffyndor, what else should I have expected?
And you know, The Rose hill Campus is in the North Bronx, and Bronx is The Northen part of NYC - just like Hogwarts is North of London and the central part of England ... making it basically in Scottland, and I have several times been mistaken for the Hamish character in Braveheart.
Life is so much more fun when you can think of it in terms of good literature and movies :)
Oh yeah, just found Callaway's picture at:

I just have to work on trying not to aggrivate her as Harry and Ron aggrivate MM sometimes LOL
HAHA, why have I not heard the term Potterhead before?! Awesome :)
Merlin's existence is a textbook example of "life imitating art".
guffaw!
