Home again, home again jiggity jig.

Well, I'm back at home now. I'm trying to adjust to not haveing insane amounts of homework to do all the time. I'm also having problems with having to do things other than eat, sleep, and study. I was having a conversation with Mom in the kitchen and I kept unconsciously opening the pantry door and reaching for food even though I wasn't hungry. I wasn't sleeping or studying so my subconcious mind was telling me that I should be eating. College is bad.
I played with Jack tonight. I put a towel on my bed and a bunch of random boxes and bits of cardboard and let him run around while I watched Stargate. He likes cardboard tubes. He thinks he might like computers too, but since I won't let him get anywhere near them, we may never know. We did discovered this amazingly fun new thing called "Bucket O' Sticks" I think it's Jack's new favorite plaything. He was like a little chid at a playground that didn't want to go home. I had to take a bunch of the sticks out to catch him again. I bought some fishies on Saturday. Three long finned Zebra Danios. They seem to be very happy. Their recovery time was amazing, almost as soon as I let them out of the bag they were swimming around and playing with each other. The Snail doesn't seem to care about them, though I didn't expect that he would. I found out last week the The Snail like lettuce. I think he ate his body weight in lettuce in about an hour. The Snail is a glutton. But he's nearly indestructable. He survived Dr. Hartzell, he can survive me.

Mmmm...goo

I want to melt into a puddle of goo. There is just something about my imaginings of the ability to ooze that sounds very appealing right now. I really don't know why. I finished Genetics today. I am happy about that. I have two more finals to go. Two more 8:00 am finals. Why? Why I ask? As if Calculus-Based Physics and Organic Chemistry aren't difficult enough, they have to have finals at 8:00 am as well? So I will be done Thursday morning after my Chem final. My 8:00 am Chem final. I think that someone in administration is trying to kill me...or drive me mad...if it's the latter I think that they may have succeeded. I already know that the entire Biology faculty is plotting to stop us all from eating meat. Secondary amines. Hah! I laugh in the face of parasites.
Here's a picture that amuses me.

Somehow, the doghouse of solitude seems like a bad place to go. Or is that just me?
