Update
Just some news that I need to report:
1. Jack and I had taken a week vacation to the West coast to visit my uncle’s family. We had a great time there and we got a lot of shopping done (they don’t have sales tax in their state). I got sick at the end of the trip which really sucked and I’m still getting over it now. =/
2. My hamster Tokki passed away when I was gone - just a day before I was going to get back. For some reason I always know when my hamsters are going to go and the last two ones passed away when I went away for a week. Maybe they do it on purpose? So for both Froggy and Tokki I had a feeling they would pass while I was away and I said goodbye before I left. It doesn’t make it any easier though. Unlike Froggy I got to bury Tokki myself, but it didn’t really do much for me. His body was just a carcass - it wasn’t Tokki. I wish I could have been there. I hate to think that he died alone. I still haven’t put away his cage and everytime I see it I forget that he isn’t there. Death sucks.
3. Now that I’m done school I’ve been applying for jobs. I was really upset yesterday because I had wanted to apply to a research analyst job but I missed the deadline by one day. It was a job that I really wanted and I am perfect for. Now I have to apply to some mediocre jobs that I don’t care as much about. ARGH!
4. I have my convocation at the end of the month and I don’t know what to wear to it. I want to look good since there will be a lot of picture taking. Being in an MA program means you get really close with the other people in your program as well as professors. This convocation has more meaning than my undergrad one for that as well as because I worked my ass off to graduate!
5. I made another blog. Yes, another one. Don’t you know I’m a blogging addict yet? Gosh! Here it is >> Je t’aime

I am glad that you had a good time away, but that sucks that you got sick at the end. I hope that you feel better soon.
I am sorry about Tokki. I felt like Fred would die when we went away, and I even found a place for my mums friend to bury him if he died. He did make it though. Losing pets is awful, I lost both my bunnies in the past few weeks.

hi ams!
i’m so sorry to hear abt Tokki… i’ve been through a few hamster deaths and i think it’s actually better that you’re not around when they pass away. but i DO get what you mean about them dying alone.
my Acid is looking rather depressed lately. am thinking of maybe getting another hamster to keep him company when we’re too busy to play with him.
