Life has been going! Pretty well, too, though my room doesn't get enough light and I get rather bored at home. But this week in classes (the first week of them), we got to walk an emu and a miniature horse, tie off a great horned owl, and hold various reptiles and such (including some big-@ss boas and cockroaches ;) ). I've had to get up before 6 AM for several days, and as a result I crashed halfway through SciFi Friday last night. But I'm loving every minute of it.
So I made a fool of myself at the gas station the other day. First I didn't get that you have to pay before you pump, and then I couldn't figure out which was the regular pump, and then this strange rubber thing that holds it in place baffled me until I accidentally canceled the sale, so I had to re-pay and the guy pumped my gas for me. Ugh, I felt like an idiot. Plus, I overpayed. It was 20 cents cheaper at the other place a block away, but I didn't realize that because in Northern Wisconsin, there's a law that every gas station in the county has to offer the same price. Gas is way more expensive out here anyway. In Minnesota it was about 2.26 a gallon when I left. Here it shifts between 2.65 and 2.93 (what I payed the other day, gah!). But I've always said I won't complain about gas prices until it's more expensive than bottled water ;)
My two rats are making strides. Raja still tries to bite, and both are still rather afraid of me, but they're getting better and I can touch them to a certain extent now. It's a long road ahead!
