Class
Yes, I would like to take part in an expedition to another planet. I think that it would be a great learning experience to explore new lands and meet new life forms. I really like to travel around the world, so I think that the next step would to be to travel into space. My grandfather always used to joke that if my dad was offered a job on the moon, we would move there. And I say why not? There is only one life and we need to explore. It would be like a real version of Star Trek.

Happy Birthday to ME!!!
I'll be officially 25 years old at 10:13am CST tomorrow. A quarter of a century old. AHHHH!!
Some things I'm thinking about right now.
Birthday : OMG, I'm 25. I'm mid-20's. Holy Pooh! I remember crying over being 20 because I was 20-something, this is sooo much worse. It doesn't help that my students look stunned that I am that I'm in my 20's. Well, I can't really blame a bunch of kindergartners for not being freaked out, they're only 5.
Halloween : Super excited for Halloween to happen. Big party going down next Saturday. It will be great, very spooky and hopefully, fun. Now I just need to get the invitations printed. I'm using this as the front.
Christmas : The family's going to be here. I can't wait. So much to do.
Holy Cow, I'm 25.
Knitting : This week I am going to dye some roving with Kool-Aid. Prepare yourself, it will be amazing. (I hope.) Also, I am running a KAL right now, and the color my recipient picked out is totally fabulous. (Yes, I know its October and I am really behind on Christmas presents, keep walking.) I completely forgot about Socktober Fest and didn't make any socks this month, and I have no time to make any before the month is up. Oh well, next year.
Let's put 25 in perspective. When my mom turned 25 she was pregnant with me, about to finish her Master's and totally super accomplished. Not that I'm terribly far behind. I'm working on my Master's, I'm a Presidential Award winner for Service Learning and will be presenting at a conference in May. Still not as awesome as Mama, and while everyone I know seems to be on the baby-making bandwagon, (please don't misunderstand, I am SO happy for everyone I know that is pregnant or just given birth), I really don't think I could handle anything more than what I already do, especially a kid. But I still feel not as grown up as I think my mom did. Will have to have a chat about this with her.
PS. Take that Mayo Clinic doctor!

Petsitting
How I love animals. I love how warm they are and how they snuggle. As anyone in my family can attest to, I love snuggles.
Since last Thursday I have gotten to take care of two Brussels Griffons, Pricilla and Motley. Today is the last day, and going back to the dorms after all the snuggles is going to be very difficult. Maybe a bit lonely.
I remember a song from primary school:
"There's nothin' better than a nice warm pet, all curled up at the foot of your bed..."
An example of Brussels Griffon little doggy.
