A little bit of this and that

It's the week before finals and I'm absolutely buried under the workload of two graduate classes: one take home final, three thought papers, three essays and 1 journal entry. That's not even counting the in class final a week from Thursday. I've already registered for the next two classes: Advanced Psychopathology & Sexual Dysfunctions and Treatments. Oh joy. Now, I just need to order the books - $300 worth.

I'm co-teaching a class tonight on chickens with our local Chicken Expert, a guy named Stinger. Mostly he's building confidence, so my being there is just a backup. I'll bring Scarlett, Opal and probably the Hamburg (who still doesn't have a name!) as well as books and magazines for folks to look through.

Spike was neutered yesterday, much to his dismay. That's a once in a lifetime kind of experience, according to Josh & Kevin who were stuck assisting the vet in the procedure. Josh and I have made the difficult decision not to keep Spike. We're very fond of him but he's not happy without other pigs to be with. This unhappiness takes the form of destructive boredom and periodic aggression toward our dogs. We've managed to find him a great home in Gig Harbor with two female pigs, thankfully. We're still working out the details so I don't have specifics just yet. More to come on this.

You've just reminded me I need to start reviewing the past couple week's classes' worth of stuff (because I did not so great), blargh :( On the other hand though, this weekend is a holiday weekend so no class muhahaha!

Also, I think you should name the Hamburg "Fritzy"

You're sending him to live with two females right after you cut his balls off? That's just mean. >;-)

Think of it as compensation. ;)

So, like if my company decided to pay me in yen? Large quantities of abundance, with which I can do absolutely nothing. :-P

I'm thinking of it as a two for two deal, myself. ;)
