    It's a fan-run online "college" type of experience. Has some pretty cool features and some cool downloadable textbooks.

    Linky here.

    I'm in Hufflepuff because Badgers. Use a real or fake name.

    Others should join.

    Okay that is cool a cool link.

    And I took the Sorting test on Pottermore and it put me in Slytherin. I think it's because I like water and dark places and I'm not going to stand and fight something that is beyond my level of ability. Before Pottermore, the fan-made quizzes usually put me in Hufflepuff. :awesome

    You get to choose your house and then choose a dorm, if you have friends you can share dorms together.

    I heard about this months ago but I never expected it to open.

    It's pretty cool. I joined as a Slytherin.

    BADGERS UNITE!

    I'm gonna look into it more when I get home. It keeps crashing the Internet Explorer shit-browser I have at work.

    Yeah, the site seem to be having a lot of trouble chugging along. Perhaps the turn-out was way larger than expected. Hope it gets better, I've become spoiled with pages that load in a second rather than a minute.

    I enrolled as a Ravenclaw. When I signed up for Charms 101, I realized something awful...

    There's actual assignments. I thought there'd be a quiz here or there. I just wanted to read...

    They made it like an actual course. While I applaud them for that, I can't say I'm happy. I have enough trouble procrastinating all my muggle work. Now I put this on my plate? Urgh. I bet Hufflepuff is way ahead in points, those badgers.

    Sorry, Rhaegar. I think I'm too busy to unite. Maybe when I'm done with Charms.

    (But, seriously, it's like a SI in a lot of ways. And it does have some cool 'text-books')

    EDIT: Never mind, Hufflepuff has about half the points Ravenclaw does. We're in the lead :awesome

    This reminds me of Game of Thrones Ascent: a really promising thing that has problems loading because of too many people. Hopefully, they'll get it working properly soon.

    So far I've bullshit myself through four of the courses' intros. Lets see how far this lazy Hufflepuff can make it. :D

    Edit: And I give up thanks to Potions. I was fine with the shortish 2-5 paragraph essays, but I'm way too lazy to go for the 500 word ones. Oh well, I exceeded my own expectations and that the best I could hope for.

    Been a long and tiring day, I think I'll turn in after the feast and enjoy my courses in the morrow.
