Update on my fishtank, again

I thought that I would let all of you know how my fishtank is doing because I know that you are all dying to know anyway. I got a new fishie last night. It is a Cremecicle lyretail molly. I think she might possibly be pregnant too, but I don't know yet. She's really pretty and goldish on the top and silver on the bottom. She seems to be getting along with everyone Ok. She followed Rainbow around when she first met him just like Silver did, which is rather curious. Apparently Rainbow is a ladies man. I also got some more ghost shrimp since I only had one left. The guy at Petsmart said that he put in three but when I got home there were five so I owe Petsmart sixty cents. Silver seems to be thrilled with the new shirmp. She goes around nipping them and terrorizing them. As the smallest fish in the tank I think that she really likes having something to pick on. Black has become, as Mom puts it, 'Queen of the Tank'. When we first got back here Silver and Rainbow were ganging up pn her and trapping her behind rocks and stuff like that. I think she got fed up, 'cause now she goes and nips everyone. She's been nice to Cremecicle though from what I've seen. Cremecicle has some issues though 'cause she's afraid of my hand. When I go to feed them Cremecicle swims away and the other swim towards me 'cause they know I have food. So Cremecicle didn't get much to eat today, the others ate it all before she could. Hopefully once she gets hungry enough she'll get over her fear. Everyone should come see my happy little fishies and shrimpies. They are fun to watch. Just ask Mommy. She spends an awful lot of time watching them and then giving me behavioral updates.
Another thing I guess I ought to tell everyone from here is that I have official sucumbed. I now work for Mr. Risch. I'm really sorry April. I can no longer comfort you and tell you not all your friends work for your dad 'cause I'm pretty sure that they all do. I couldn't find a job that was related to biology, so I figured I might as well work where I knew people and the pay was pretty good. I think that I'm still going to look around for another part-time job or else I'll be really bored this summer. Ok, well that's all that I think you will read. My posts get really long sometimes.

One Day More

There is a song in the musical Les Miserables. This song is about the French Revolution and has no bearing on my life but I have fixated on it because there are a bunch of people singing "One day moooooooore" and that is a very nice thing to think of today because I only have one day more and I will be done with my freshman year of college. It might be a sad thought and cause me to thing of all that has happened since I came here and the people that I have met and sappy junk like that. But it the middle of finals week. I'm tired. And stressed. And I've been eating entirely too much chocolate because that is the only thing that keeps me happy. Well, Jillian gave me a kubaton and that made me really happy. It's a big metal stick that goes on a key chain and you carry it around and if someone grabs you, you stick it in their pressure points and cause them great pain and then take them down and shove your knee in their kidney. Or you could step on their head, or choke them, or lots of other painful things. So I have to study some names of some stuff. Animals and parasite and other evil things like that. I'll be home in less than two days, but I'll be done with school in less than twelve hours which is almost as good.
