phew its been a while and a lot has happened. as most of you know i was home for spring break this past week. some of the highlights include going to randy's quiz bowl, playing cards, seeing Hitch w/ mike, rebekah's fabulous bithrday party. i also job shadowed at the pregnancy in carlisle. that was a fun experiance. ok let me go into more detail ith some things... lol its more fun that way. my first day back, saturday, i went to randy's quiz bowl thing. that was a lot of fun. i got to talk to jason and bekah a. i also got to see my bro participate, and a lot of memories were brought back from when i particpated in eighth grade. later that night i played cards with mike and the sones. lets see how do i convey what all happened? lets just say that we were laughing so hard mr. sones and to spit out what he was drinkin in the sink. mostly b/c of my own... gracefulness... lol. anyways sunday was a bum day and then on monday i jobshadowed. it was fun. then tuesday i did something. i actually dnt remember what. lol. then on wednesday i stayed home and did homework... lovely, lovely. then thursday i job shadowed pretty much all day. friday i cleaned... nothing like cleaning a place you dont life hmm? lol. then i went to the movies w/ mike. saturday i went to rebekah's party... we started talking like we've never been apart. it was lovely. we all got a corner of the cake... yum! and then we watch monty python and then goofed off a bit. weirdest thing: britt put ice cream in the refridgerator. dont ask me. sunday was another relax and hw day and i drove back on monday w/ derek and mom. the drive back here was quick and uneventful until mom noticed we had a flat looking tire when we dropped derek off at his dorm. so... after we brought all my stuff into my dorm and i got settled down we began the process of looking for a place to check the tire. and mom made the random comment, "if you come with me, ill get you a new fish" hehhehe. i went with her and then we went to a pet store. i got a BEAUTIFUL beta. she has a dark bluish purple body. its fins are a lighter blue with silver in them... and the lower fins have the purple brought down and it becomes pinker in the light. but basically you could call my beta blue. lol. ive already named her. i named her Rhea after zeus's mother. not a hanger blonde. so its back and the whisper of spring has been taunting us. robins have been around for a couple of weeks. its been great. but now the sun isnt as cold and the air smells faintly of life. the first crocuses are up and daffodils have started growing with a purpose. its not warm. my hands still hurt when i get back to my dorm b/c they are so cold and wearing a sweatshirt is not enough for the walk from my dorm to my classes. BUT ITS COMING!!!! mom sent me daffodils today. that made me happy!!! well despite three papers i havent had too much hw since ive been back. its really nice. its soo weird that easter break is so close. hmmph. life good lives folks.

anyone wanna start a pool on how long this fish'll last???? Ha ha...seriously though, i hope this one sticks around for a good long while

me too! rhea seems pretty healthy and happy... i hope she stays that way!

another fish? ahhhhh!!!

Don't worry Laura, your not the only one with fish problems. I had a goldfish for one day before it died (poor harold). sniff sniff.

when did you watch pride and prejudice? is it the colin firth version? if so, me likey it very very much...:D

i didnt actually watch it... i read it for my humanities class... i LOVE that book... i think she has some amazing insights to relationships,but more than that i find it entirely too dang funny. its soo witty and the characters are so real that i just love it! but yes, the colin firth version of p&p is excellent. i highly recommend it. he is soo good at mr. darcy. i heart mr. darcy.

Well, I have never read Pride Or Prejudice, but if I had a choice I would definitely choose...hrm, well probably prejudice because pride just isn't a good thing. ;) Neither of them are good, don't get me wrong. However, the question is not which one we, as humans, would choose; rather, it is a decision for the surviving fish. I think that you should ask the fish which one it would pick. Maybe if you pose such questions to your fish she will live longer. Just a thought :)

*nods like she understood that train of thought*
