Well, my trip to USC went very well. The only thing that would have made it better would have been if it was USC on the other side of the country. Oh well. I really enjoyed it up in Columbia, so I'll definately be keeping it in mind.
My mom took me to the zoo in Columbia to see the penguins because they're my favorite animal and it was amazing. They were so cute. There was a little one that I took a liking to- I named him Gimpy. He had just had surgery or something on his left leg and so he was limping around, and his leg had been shaved, and the fur was growing back. Anywho, he was so cute and so little...I fell in love. So we went to go see a few other animals and then went back to see the penguin feeding. The guy came out and poor Gimpy couldn't quite get to him because he was limping and couldn't compete with his fellow penguins to get the fish. He was waiting in the back, like I do when there's a big crowd to get to something, and I only saw him get one fish. A fellow penguin walked by and beaked him and he almost fell over! Poor Gimpy! I wanted to go give him a hug and grab a fish for him and give it to him (which is saying a lot because I hate fish). He kept stepping on his gimp foot and he would slide on the wet rock. It was a sad sight. So my mom was joking and was like "We should wrtie him an email!" and I thought she meant Gimpy, so this was my email that I was going to send.
Dear Gimpy,
Start throwin' some bows!
Your biggest fan,
Denise
And then my mom told me that she meant the feeder. Psh. Whatever. I'll post a picture of him when I load it onto the computer.
FSU Saturday! I can't wait. It's going to be so much fun! And we get to meet Cat! Ahhh, college is going to be amazing.
