UPDATE!!!
Kitty News:
The new house is wonderful. There is just one problem; my cat hated it. When I brought her in she ran directly under the bed. I drug her out (litteraly) a couple times, but aside from that she stayed under the bed for two days! She only used the litter box once,and the one time she did eat, she threw up. Also, she hated CJ's cat. I don't know. I just don't think she is suited for a house full of college students. We ended up taking her back to my grandmother's house. She was very happy to return.
Anyway, on the way back home Kate, CJ, and I stopped at the animal shelter where I met Frannie. She is a beautiful gray tabby with big green eyes. She was a stray, so she is pretty small from malnutrition, but she is the friendliest cat I have ever had. As you probably already guessed, I brought her home. Her new name is Yum Kaax (Yoom Kaash). I named her after the Mayan god of the wood, wild nature, and the hunt. We call her Kash or Kashi for short.
She ended up having a bad upper respiratory infection. I spent one hundred dollars on medicine two days after I got her, though she was worth it. She's almost better now.
School News:
Last term ended fairly well, though I did poorly in Chemistry. This was solely due to the fact that I did not take the class seriously and failed to study at all until the week prior to the final. Oops. On the positive side, I did learn my lesson. Also, I am done with Chemistry...for good. I am taking biology next year to fulfil my science credit requirement. I also plan on taking botany, geology, and anatomy and physiology. I am realizing that there is a lot to know to be a good anthropology student. Speaking of anthropology, I want to move to New Mexico. UNM has an amazing anthro program, also CHACO CANYON! PUEBLO BONITA! EXCITEMENT! Don't get me wrong, I love the PSU anthro department. Bill is wonderful and I can't wait to be in Cameron's North American prehistory course this term, but PSU only has so much to offer. I may get to go to field school at Fort Vancouver this summer, and if I stuck around who knows... maybe I could work at Cathapotle? Paisley Cave? perhaps... but as far as course work goes, I think UNM is the place. By the time I could go there, I should know my concentration. So far it's archaeology, but as I read more and more I am begining to think ethnology might be right for me. I don't know. If I decide to do primatology (unlikely) I should stay at PSU. Natalie just finished teaching a field school in Florida and now she is off to the research project she is heading in Madagascar. Wouldn't that be a great job?! Speaking of adventure...
Adventure News:
Rob and I are getting closer to our trip. We have calculated that our total distance will be over 150miles. I am so excited. We bought our treking pants today. Two pairs each which is all we will have with us on the hike. One set of clothes on our backs, and one set in the packs. I also picked up treking poles, a buff, and rainpants. The rainpants won't be with us on the trail. They are for biking. By the way...in
Transportation news:
I am selling my truck. I just bought a really nice Kona Dew. From now on, I'm biking. I am tired of my truck breaking down. I am tired of pouring my money into that miserable hole of an engine. No more parts. No more gas. No more insurance. I'm done. And it feels SOOOO GOOOD! I have been riding around quite a bit and I love it. It just feels good to move. Also, this way I don't feel nearly as bad about working out less than I should. It makes me feel like a better hippy as well. Overall, bike=good.
Well, anyway, that is enough of an update. I really should update more often so I don't have to ramble on quite so much. Oh well, I guess. It is written and I am not reviewing it. I hope everyone had a good spring break.
