OMG, the feast!
Here's a personal chain of events that usually occurs in my mind this time every term:
1. Goodbye, seventh years!

2. Wonder if we're losing any staffers?

3. If we do, who will take their place?
4. Which prefects and captains are graduating?
5. ...and who will take THEIR place?
6. OMG, sorting is here?!

7. I wonder where the new Slytherins are...
8. I really need to get a graphics set for the upcoming term...
9. Why did I create 12 DA clones?
10. OMG, colors are changing! Badges are coming in! *endless happiness*
...and so is the racing mind of Anna Banana at this point in every term.
