When I got a tan in Normandy



I was in Normandy for a couple of days, visiting my grandparents in their summer house. I hoped we could go sail with H but the weather made it impossible (no wind, no sailing).
So instead, we enjoyed the garden and walked along the beach. It's been crazy sunny these last days. I even manage to pan/ roast a bit! Me! with a (very) light brown and healthy glow! it's been years since it happened!
I made some shopping, having some crafty projects waiting. I feel in a creative mood these days.

Welcome to Ilvermorny


Ilvermorny, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
As a noticeable Potterhead, I was immensely happy to get to know more about a new school of witchcraft and wizardry. My lovely Best Friend rushed me into getting sorted and that was one of the most unfortunate things I could have agreed with. Long story short: I do not pass tests if I don't have data on it before. I hate it with a passion.
So, I finally had time to read a bit more about Ilvermorny's History and its four houses.
Ilvermorny is the American equivalent of Hogwarts, in which I am a proud Slytherin. I am determined into achieving what I set myself to. Which seemed to be confirmed by my resume, time table and general curriculum.
But Ilvermorny houses are slightly different and are not based on the same criterias.


when not rushed and actually reading the questions and pondering about my answers, I had the opportunity to reflect on what it represents for us to be sorted in such a group. To me, my house must represent the trait I strive the most for, what I deem to be the more important and the sort of person I desire to become.
I am curious and stubborn. I have been trying for years to extend my knowledge on as many fields as possible, for knowledge is power and I wish to leave a print behind. To do something that will matter and be worth remembering.
Not fame, but to accomplish something. Achievement more than publicity.
And apparently while I am a Slytherin in Hogwarts for that thirst for achievement, the cunning and determination, I was sorted as a Horned Serpent in Ilvermorny, for my thirst for knowledge and curiosity.

A sorting of which I am happy for it goes well with my pride as a Slytherin. It highlights a side of my personality that I hold dear and that wasn't put forward at Hogwarts.
