1) Have passed knot-tying test, despite frustrating rope trying to become half-hitches instead of square knots. grr.

2) Have signed up for senior rotation places. Family peoples: Tell me if there are any specific weeks (I get two) that do not fall on major holidays that I should be free. Like, say, for a certain graduation or spring break. *pokes* *is still sulking that the year is not long enough to also take Derm and Equine Field Service*

3) Used a furminator on Martha yesterday - I think I combed out enough fur to make another kitten. O.O

Um um.... -my- graduation? My graduation is not for.... ever. Merk. But I don't know who else you could be talking about. Thus - er... I dunno. They havent decided yet. Likely May 9-10. Spring break (2008) is the 10th-14th of March.

Well, I can only guarantee one week's placement out of the two, so I guess you'd rather I hit up the graduation, right? *pokes at the creaky computer setup of senior rotation*

And didnt you "read" life of pi? It was one of those book-tapes mom got for trips.

I slept for most of it. I'd wake up and they'd be somewhere else entirely.
