   Something more. I lost my job about half a month ago. Along with 12 other people. The whole store. A meeting was scheduled for after work one day and we were all set in our back room. About five or six suit and tie upper managment came in and told us that from that moment on White Drug was closed. I’m actually enjoying not having a job for a little while but man am I broke. My last check was only fifty dollars. Not too worried though because I don’t need money all that much now that I’m done paying for books and tuition for the year. I’ll also be going to my uncle’s restaurant to work for the next couple weekends and I might get a little tip money.
   My dog was sick yesterday. She woke me up in the morning with her puking – ON MY BED! No big deal. She puked about 15 times within 3 hours. She was also shivering and shaking like crazy. Poor girl. Couldn’t find much on the net with those symptoms. Must’ve just been a little doggie flu because she was better today. She coughed a bit but thankfully no puke, and no vet.
   I’m reading a really awsome book right now. It’s The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. The first book I’ve gotten into in about a year! It’s a little like harry potter but more adult and complicated. Another reason this book is so good is because I know that when I finish it I can start right in on the second book of the trilogy.
   I’m really enjoying my classes this semester. I’ve got Intro to Linux, Operating Systems, Programming in C (I really like this one), Web Design 2, Spreadsheet apps (BORING), Installation and Maintentence 2, Network Admin 2 and Pep Band (ugh). I love being able to do nearly all of my assignments on my computer. ^_^ Which reminds me, I have to get up sorta early to do a webpage. I’ll probably have to do it at school since I don’t have all the right files on my pc. I also have find time to shower. ^_-

Sorta feel like writing. I’ve been meaning to start writing again for a few days now. I’m sorta drawing a blank right now though. For one thing I’m psychic. My sister has been really into fish for the past few months. (Actually she got me into them too!) Bettas at first, and then for christmas she got a 10 gallon fishtank. So we were really excited and bought a whole bunch of fish for it. We did all the stuff we needed to first of course. Let the tank cycle and stuff. Put the fish in. A few nights later I dreamt that I was trying to get kyla’s fish safe but I kept dropping the jars and bags they were in as I moved them. They all died and I felt horrible that I couldn’t keep them alive. Within the next day or two one of kyla’s Bettas died. I didn’t think much of it. About a week or two later, I had another dream. I dreamt about fish again. I don’t really remember any of that dream at all but I know it involved fish. Found out the next morning that more of her fish died. Cause unknown. We pretty much ruled out inter-tank fighting, starvation, temp problems and whatnot. Actually one of those fish was caught in the filter. (about 3 died within that time) Finally, just the night before last I had a really CREEPY dream about her fish again. I dreamt that for some reason she had her betta jars in my room and when I discovered them I saw that they were all dead or dying. One of them was sort of spinning in circles at the top of the water half alive. Another was dead and bloated at the bottom. There was another one too – also dead. The very next morning I told my sis I dreamt of her fish again and she looked shocked. Sure enough she said that that morning she found about three more fish dead. She started out with 4 bettas, 2 catfish, 3 guppies, 2, snails, and one other which I can’t remember. There are 2 snails and a catfish left. Kinda weird. The cause of death for nearly all of the fish is unknown. I think it was some kind of disease/bacteria. Whatever.
