"Nucular!" -My Dad's impression is almost uncanny! =) 

What a little sweetheart. I love her with all my heart. You never quite know what a terrible feeling it is to be depended on until you have a screaming baby in your arms who trusts you to make it all better. She woke up at midnight last night and just screamed! I changed her diaper... still screaming. I offered her juice... still screaming. I tried just about everything! and then I remembered Mom said she was teething, baby oragel to the rescue. She settled right down and smiled drowsily at me as I sang her to sleep.  

She's quite a musician 

This is the adorable little girl I babysat last night! 

Ashling's new symbol! I designed this for my foamfighting persona. I've actually been formulating it for a few years and it finally just fell together. 

Beautiful yet strong. 

Bug ah boo!

I'm afraid that I am coming down with something... *pout* I spent most of yesterday trying to concentrate my way through bouts of lightheadedness and nausea. However I do feel much better today after sleep. So long as my constitution rolls are good, I should be fine. *smirk* I'm such a geek.

A Yesterday so Long Ago

The first day of the semester went well yesterday. All of my professors seem cool and the classes should be interesting. I am particularly looking forward to honors chemistry 2 because I adore Dr. Ziegler, he's a blast to listen to. And hopefully my professor for Bio 2 will be more dynamic than Dr. Frola was so I can actually stay awake through his lecture... It would be nice since I am majoring in bio and everything... Meine Deutsch Lehrerin ist sehr nett! Ich leibe die Klasse schon. And my honors colloquium in social studies should be interesting as it is basically a huge discussion session and I do so love discussing things. I meet tomorrow with Mr. Weeks about the clam shrimp research project. And that only leaves my forensics credits hanging because Mark hasn't gotten hold of me yet. *pout*

But all in all it looks to be a good semester. =) I'm excited to have something concrete to focus on again. It really almost feels like last semester never ended but yet again break seemed so very long and last year was forever ago! So life moves on.

Well, off to work I go...

Another Resident in our Zoo

We may be adding the rare and elusive Q-fa to our collection here at the Koppelberger Zoo. He no longer feels safe at home I refuse to let him go back there. Mom and I have spent the day cleaning out Kelsey's room for his use if he wants it. She has a lot of junk!! We'll have to break her of pack rat syndrome. I recovered from it a few years ago and threw out half of my belongings. It's a hard thing to fight! =)

Luckily the car repair only cost us about a hundred dollars. It could have been much worse so I'm very thankful.

Well, maybe I should clean my room too while I'm at it...

Broken

I was all set to go to class this morning. Not looking terribly forward to it, considering it was only one lab and I assumed that we weren't going to be doing much other than getting the syllabus. So I would be doomed to sit around and wait for my ride for hours as always. Nevertheless I was resigned to my fate and had thought of several lovely things to do, including sleep. I trundled wearily to the car but as my Dad started it and I heard, of all things, a terrible noise. It sounded somewhat like icicles shattering but it was coming from under the hood. Well, it stopped and we went on our merry way... And promptly turned the car back around and parked it in the driveway. The fan belt had snapped. This wonderful frigid weather had done it in. So I am skipping my first bio lab, hopefully we really weren't doing anything yet.... And Dad took the day off to get the car fixed on account of wounded vehicle.

Practice yesterday was awesome by the way. Unfortunately we will probably be ceasing our indoor practicing due to lack of donations. We simply can't afford the hall if no one helps out. Sigh, oh well, I was planning on fighting on campus Monday nights anyways. Goodbye Rausumea, I'll see you in the spring.

Ps... It is far too cold outside.

So I finally took the initiative and hunted down Ken at the zoo and gave him my resume for the animal care internship. And... he threw it in the trash!

Lol, he was just kidding but I nearly freaked out. He talked to me for a little bit after fishing it out of the garbage can. He has an intense sense of humor but I think it went well. I don't see why I wouldn't get the position but we shall see... *crosses fingers*

I'm very excited about practice tomorrow. I get to fight from 2pm until 10!!!! Woohoo!

And then the new semester starts on Tuesday which should be interesting.

I simply have to say this to all you insanely conservative Christians who voted for George W. because he said he would protect your "sanctity of marriage"... Hahaha! He has decided that he is not going to pursue an amendment to the US Constitution banning same sex marriage because he no longer needs your vote. It may be one of the few issues on which I'm happy with his actions. =)

Huggles!

Wow! I can die happy now because the internet has verified that I am cool!
