I thought last year finding a squirrel in the pool last year was bad enough. Apparently not. When Aldo and I came home yesterday, she told us that there was a dead squirrel by the driveway and she was too scared to dispense of it. Just like last year, except that she asked my brother to dispense of the corpse. One can imagine that it was probably quite nasty since a decomposing body in a body of water for who knows how long. This time was a bit more mysterious though. When Aldo, Ashley (sister) and I found the little rat, it not only looked like it was flattened but that it was dead for quite a few days and flattened. My mother said she saw maggots a few days ago but had no idea where they were coming from. She took a pot of boiling water and pour it on them. My father also mentioned that he had smelled something extremely strong but didn't know where it was coming from. Surely enough, the bandit was found and it seemed he not longer had insides when we got to him. That or it was squeezed out of him like a tube of toothpaste. There was a small blip of blood right by him - right after he was peel off the plastic that was under him. From what Aldo said, since he was closest to it, the squirrel didn't even have any eyes left. After Ash and Aldo decided to take morbid pictures of it (sick, I know), we disposed of him. I'm starting to think that my house might start being a magnet for dying squirrels. It's not right. I don't want this to be a trend where squirrels come to die here.
I took my Spanish final today (at 8 in the morning!) and I think I did ok. I'll admit that I was farking around yesterday and last night and barely studied at all. But I've very well all semester so that should keep me from heading deep crap. I'm officially done now, so yay on me. Now that school is out of the way, I'll be able to let the internship appointment keep me nervous. I still have a whole day, after all.
And just like any good school, I wasn't able to sell back two of my books. I wasn't expecting much for my Sleep and Dreams book since I got it for about $14 in the first place as a new book. But they want to tell me that my Psych of Personality book is no longer of any value because they got a new edition in March. The hell? New edition my ass. We all know that these new editions are hardly new at all and sometimes the only thing new about a new edition is a different cover for the book. At least I was able to sell back my Science book so I'll be able to have a little spending money. This money was probably go into either my checking or savings account. We'll see. Thankfully Facebook just opened up their Marketplace so I'll be able to at least have the opportunity to sell it at a reasonable price to some poor soul who will need it. Especially since my Sleep and Dreams teacher is going to be teaching the same class in the fall. Damn you, college bookstore bureaucracy.
I'm tired and hungry and have to make a decision between the two. Of course I can always sleep now to make the hunger go away but it's been too many hours since I ate and it's probably best that I do. 12 hours is a bit long, isn't it?
