fishsitting

Fish are wonderful little creatures. They provide you with minutes of entertainment and are easily taken care of. For the next two days, I will be fishsitting Shannon’s Betta, Spike –who I have taken the liberty to rename Darwin. So far, I believe I have done a good job. I fed him early this morning. He did look a little jittery, sort of like he was hooked on caffeine. I was a little worried because that’s how my fish normally look, and that is never a good sign to me. Throughout the morning, his spunk has quickly dwindled. At times, he looks a bit dead. I know that most Bettas look like this, but Darwin had himself folded and we all know that’s also not a good sign. Shannon did mention that he likes to burry himself in the rocks, and boy was she right. He really LOVES to get down in there. Darwin is one weird fish, cute but weird. He is definitely weird. What does he do in there? Haha. In many ways, he is one funny fish. Oh well!

Bastille Day was yesterday and I totally didn’t do anything to commemorate the event. I LOVE Bastille Day! For the past few years, I’ve celebrated it al Frenchie style. What a major bust this year! Hopefully for the next Bastille Day, I can be celebrating it in France.

In other news, I was up and doing my thing again this weekend. I guess once a party animal, always a party animal. It really is like riding a bike, you just never forget. My entourage and I went to Agozar, Ron’s Bar, and Aura. We totally knocked them dead wherever we went. V was out doing her hair toss, Kevin was two-stepping it like nobody’s business, and Natasha and I were, of course, dancing it up on the couches. Sean and the other kid were mellow-yellows at times, but they had their moments. Naveed joined Nat and I most of the time. Overall, it was a classic experience.

Now, it is Monday, and another grueling work week. I guess I should be counting down my days, but I’m not. I’m a little scared, sad, and excited to heading out. Change is something I need – actually, I would say way overdue. Ugh! I have too much to do to prep. Don’t know if I can do all the countries on my list for South America now, so that’s a major bummer. Still haven’t gotten my student visa. I’m waiting on the loan letter. Also, I’m still waiting on the dorm acceptance letter. UGH! One day at a time I guess. One day!
