Apologies

Here's the deal: You think I haven't posted in a while, because I don't love you. This is incorrect. In fact, I've really gotten into the blogging thing. Not that I'm an awesome blogger, but I do enjoy it. The truth is that Mechanical Engineering this summer has required a little more than Lowder University(The Business School) did. Amphetamines being one of the most important things. In the next available 48 hours I will take an Engineering Calculus quiz, a MatLab(computer programming) Final Exam, a two-hour Lab Exam, a Calculus Final Exam, write a computer program, pay a speeding ticket, sort of plan a bachelor's party, an Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Final Exam, I just finished painting a house today(gotta pay for college as well as attend it these days...), and I've gotta figure out something to feed these new baby snakes! So, naturally when I have too many things to do in the time I have to do them I wash my car or write a blog. Sometimes both? I say all this to say... I still love you.

Sammy's Been Busy...

So, I've kept a few lizards in a terrarium for a few months now. They're pretty fun. They scurry about in their tank, they eat crickets or mealworms, they make love, and they make it often. So clearly, they've been enjoyable pets(with the exception of "Charlie," a girl lizard that was never fun, that I let go long ago).
About a couple of months ago, I came across a slightly injured brown snake in the woods near my condo, so naturally I threw him in the mix too. Just last night, much like the night before when I decided to paint my bathroom, I decided they should all go back to the wild yonder. So, I caught the lizards first, Freddy and Danielle, and put them outside and watched them gleefully scamper off. And then it came to Sammy the snake... I move a rock to get a good handle on him to lift him to freedom when I saw them... Babies. Snake babies are all over the place! Turns out "Sammy" is really "Samantha" and she apparently got injured in some kinky reproductive kind of way. Who am I to judge? But there you have it. Short and sweet today. I've decided to keep the babies for a while to make sure they are big enough to introduce to the dangers of Auburn.
