It's Official, I'm a Viking!

Well its been a long time coming for sure but I finally enrolled in college today. Jasmin and I both enrolled today at Long Beach City College. Jasmin plans on pursuing nursing. I on the other hand plan on pursuing Biology. I plan on specifically doing Zoology. I want to make work in a zoo someday. I can't wait, It's going to take forever but I think in the long run it's going to be worth the effort. I have been thinking long and hard about how I wanted to go about college, I really couldn't figure it out. I did know that animal related is where I wanted to be, but I had an issue because the money is not there. I decided that it's not just about the money but my happiness as well.We went to the student store, Picked up our practice assessment tests and we came across these cool folders. Were both super proud of ourselves for signing up for school so we figured we needed to show some school spirit. We could not pass up these folders... They were cheap to so it worked out nicely.

From hear on out we are College Adults, Hopefully It's a great experience. Stay tuned to my blog for constant updates on our happenings with school. Just another thing to post about!

Until Next Time...

NEW BABIES!!!

Rat babies that is... I've been breeding rats now for about 3-4 months. I have been patiently sitting by waiting for any sign of pregnancy. I did notice one of my female rats getting fat. She also started burrowing some. Well 2 days ago I woke up and checked on her and there were no babies. Jasmin and I go make and eat breakfast, by time I check on them again I find 13 babies! So far they have all lived, and are eating great.



you can tell they are eating great by the milk band you can clearly see through the belly. Its the white thing in their stomach. It's actually very cool to be able to see it!



Until Next Time..

Hockey playoffs!!!!

I'm super excited for playoff time. I've been a huge hockey fan for a long time. I even used to play back in high school. I've always followed pro hockey and I get even more crazed during playoff time. How many of you follow hockey? Who do you want to win? I'm a Ducks fan, I always have been since I was a kid. I was born in Orange County so I'm all about the southern Cali teams!

Let's hear your choices!

Life..and my snakes.

Well since my last blog was about life decisions I figured I should keep up with the trend. I had dinner with some friends tonight and we started discussing my snake ventures and what direction I want to head. As of right now I don't have much. I'm really on the small scale of things. It's time for me to start planning long term. I need to figure out what I want and how I plan on gettig it.

I have a few choices that I've toyed around with. So far these are the options I have...

Option 1- work on getting my ghost project under way.. It's going to take me a bit longer but I am a pretty big fan of ghosts. I'll need to aquire another animal to make it faster.

Option 2- work on producing my own bumblebees, I'm half way there. I need to aquire another animal in order to acheive this.

Option 3- buy into a completly new project, this is my really unsure about idea. I'd like some new stuff and to have some other thing to toy around with, but on the other hand.. I'm still pretty low key and small time and is really worth it to not work on my already existant projects. So far everyones talked me out of this option.

In my own mind I'm leaning towards Option 2. I have always been a big supporter of the bumblebee. My friend has one and I love it, I always try to take photos and stuff of it, but the again I love ghosts. I'm so torn. I wish working on both was an option but frankly the funds don't work in that favor.

My question for you my friends is..

What do you think? Those of you who get my snake stuff, which direction would you head? I love the input!

Happy Late Easter!!

I hope everyone had a great Easter! We had a pretty good one. We spent most of the day building a wall unit in our new residence. I haven't had a chance to write until now so none of you know but were moving. Were heading out to Long Beach. Were going to be beach bums. I'm pretty excited, I plan on enrolling in school in the fall. I'm not sure what I'm going to major in yet but at least I'm getting closer to deciding.

Alot of things come to mind for my major but nothing jumps out at me as something I can really enjoy and make enough to support myself and someday a family. I keep getting told that I should just do what I love and the compensation shouldn't be keeping me back.

So my question for you is.. What would you do? Your passion or settle for the high paying career?

Until Next Time...
