Herro?!

Steph and I just spent the past half hour fawning over the new addition to our suite, Dan's cute and furry teddy bear hamster, Beast (his full name is The Savage Beast, but we call him Beast for short, haha). Dan brought him over to live with us last week because he couldn't keep Beast at his place anymore. Sucks for Dan, but works out for me. I like having him here; he's such cutie pie. I took a ton of pictures of him eating carrots and exploring on the kitchen table. He has a fondness for corners and cracks as well as electrical wires. He also enjoys a good bottle of Febreeze and likes to look over the edge of the table. Beast lives life on the edge, that's for sure.

So cute! :)

He was very into his carrot.

This kept me entertained for quite some time.

I should really be sleeping right now. I have China Nite practice tomorrow. Despite my attempts to release myself from any China Nite obligations (for once, I just wanted to sit and watch the show!), I was still roped into doing something for it. It is now a requirement of all Chinese classes to participate in the show, and so because I'm still taking Chinese, I have to be on stage tomorrow night, singing a song about pursuing a girl. Mm, fun. I'm looking forward to the show though. I'm really curious to see how it is going to turn out. I kind of miss being a part of it, but at the same time, I am glad I don't have any part in it because I feel so much more relaxed this semester. IT'S GREAT. HAHA.

The hall still smells. Suite still semi-reeks. I've been spraying Febreeze every half an hour or so to keep the smell at bay. Gah, I really hope it gets fixed soon.

The snow is falling, oh a-falling.

It is snowing buckets outside. Like ridiculously. I went outside earlier, and it was pelting me from every-which-way. The visibility is terrible. I am looking out my window right now, and I can barely see a thing. I can faintly make out the outlines of the trees. I think it's going to snow something like 9 inches today. Or maybe more at the rate this is going. Lovely. It is going to be a pain walking to my exam tomorrow morning. I am so going to fall on my butt. I need snow boots, because the boots I wear are terrible for the snow (and probably not meant for such rough weather) and my socks always get wet and I always slip and almost fall in them.

This geology stuff just makes me want to procrastinate right now. I don't care about estuaries and fjords and all that jazz. I just want to bake cookies and watch TV and run around singing and dancing. Anything is better than geology right now.

Actually, looking at the snow makes me want to start a fire in the fireplace I don't have and drink hot chocolate and be all winter-y.

In other news, my hamster Twinkie died this past Wednesday. Kind of sad. She was a year and two months old. She was a cute little ball of fluff, minus the somewhat scary red eyes she inherited from her momma, Congee (yeah, I like to name my hamsters after food, so what?). I'm going to miss her. I've had her since she was a little itty bitty baby. RIP Twinkie <3
