(Just a heads up, I cannot justify my string of thoughts in this blog post. I just had the urge to write my thoughts out for some reason, and who am I to deny my urges?)
Been a bit on the restless side with avatars lately, as I'm sure many (all) of you have noticed. Random fun fact: I actually have a bad habit of changing my avatars often when I'm feeling restless, nervous, or just generally stirred up for some reason with no way of letting the energy out. One of my friends figures it because I like messing around with thing I can control, when I otherwise feel like I'm powerless in a situation. Not sure why I'm doing it recently, but eh, it'll stop eventually. I think. Maybe.
Will probably be going to see Snow White and the Huntsman during the weekend, with my grandma. She expressed an interest in going with me when I mentioned it, and so did my sister, but I don't know if she'll still be up to that, so might just be me and Grandma. Which hey, not a problem, I enjoy one on one time with her, she's a fun old lady.
Officially switched my options near the end of the semester; I'm now a lab animal science major, instead of pre-vet. Basically all it changes is I don't have to take two required courses that would have gotten me into vet school, and I don't have to break my back over keeping my GPA up.
Passed chemistry (with a D, but take what you can get with this school), which surprised me. Explains why I'm currently only attending summer organic chemistry lectures and not actually in the class, since I didn't register for it early enough due to worrying over whether or not I'd pass chemistry this semester. But the professor is willing to let me sit in and listen, so why not? It'll give me a good foundation for what I'm in for during the fall semester, even if it means I have to get up early four days out of five.
I cut the cult-de-sacs out of my walk yesterday, and my ankle felt pretty good. It hasn't been bothering me like it was the other night, so I'm not sure if shortening my original walk route did it, or if it's the lack of stress the past few days. I'll keep walking the new path until it hurts again, since for now it seems to work.
My dog's starting to show his age, in little ways. It's a bit odd; on one hand I'm not too surprised, considering he's nine years old (and still has a few more years to go, so it's not like he's at death's door), but on the other hand it's a little distressing to see sometimes. He doesn't walk as far as he used to, and he's gotten nervous about going up and down stairs in the dark, since he can't see too well. I'm trying not to think about it too hard right now, because honestly, raising an animal from a puppy and then to an elderly dog is a new experience to me.
Come the start of June this weekend, I'm going to force my muse to cooperate with me. Might not be as easy as it would have been if I had a completely free summer, but I think my update hiatus has lasted long enough.
