I rather think I may have been using this device somewhat incorrectly. I've been commenting rather a lot, but it just occurred to me that I've failed to introduce myself in any sort of formal sense. My name is Hermione Granger, and I arrived here on Sunday. I'm from, errr--the "Harry Potter" world, as it were, but I'd rather like to propose to all my worldmates if we could, perhaps...come up with a better name that didn't sound quite so much as though Harry is our god, or something. I mean, don't get me wrong. Harry's my best friend and I love him as much as anyone, but that's only making me doubly uncomfortable, really.
Anyway. Now that that's out there, I thought I should also mention that I took rather comprehensive notes during my orientation session. I also did a bit of additional research at the New York Public Library, as we apparently didn't have enough time to go over all the questions I had. If any of you who've just arrived or are still grappling things would like a copy, I wouldn't mind making some at all.
