Down here all the fish is happy

I've spent the last week studying these guys in my oceanography class.





I really hate fish. I used to keep an aquarium with small tropical fish when I was in grade school. I started hating the sight of fish when I looked into the tank unexpectedly and saw a dead fish floating in front of my eyes. Since then, I dont even really like looking at the live ones. I'll admit, the ones that glow neon yellow and blue and that you see in the large fish tank in Caesar's Palace are cool, but I hate staring at fish eyes looking back at me...gives me the creeps. But thanks to this class, I've learned a lot more about fish than I could ever want to know and more about the types or organisms and pollutants in shoreline water so that I'll probably not look at the beach with the same mystery anymore...or readiness to jump right in. Our class took our field trip (i havent had a field trip since I was little) on Thursday and we went to the Cabrillo Aquarium. My favorite part was poking the sea creatures in the tide pool, and watching the jelly fish float around under a black light. All in all, the class turned out to be pretty interesting, but I'm still glad that it's almost over.

Our new puppy is home! It's the cutest tiniest thing. The drive up to Sacremento was the longest I couldve imagined and we arrived there at 2 am, but it was all worth it to pick up the dog and save him the trauma of being shipped to us in a crate. He's a very smart, well behaved dog and already seems to be getting the hang of potty training. His bark sounds like a squeek toy, but he doesn't bark much. He's friendly and if anyone is in the area and would like to visit, you're more than welcome.



As a last fling before my season pass ran out, I went to Disneyland with Jessica and Amy. We had a great time running around taking ridiculous pictures. I also got to ride Space Mountain for the first time since it reopened, and I was really happy with it. I actually can't remember very well what it was like before so I can't really compare, but I think the improvements were good and they didn't completely change the concept which I was worried about.
