Here Comes the Sun

Friends, family and random creepers: My weather app says that it's a solid 64 degrees here in Sioux City right now.  The sun is shining and the squirrels are running around campus.  My roommate just left for class wearing shorts.  The snow is almost melted, and it's an absolutely beautiful January day here in Sioux City.

And you know what's really adding to the beauty?  My three new fishies!  My roommate and I saved them after one of our RAs held goldfish races as a building function.  These are my first pets ever...can you imagine how exciting this is?!
The two fish that jumped out of the water and scared us when we first got them live on my desk, thanks to my roommate.  The chill one lives on her desk.  Go figure.  :)

This is John.  He lives on my desk.

                                                   

Paul also lives on my desk.  I had to put a Kleenex box between him and
John so they wouldn't make mean faces at each other.

George lives on my roommate's desk.  He's pretty chill.  Kind of like a hippie.

Of course John, Paul and George just wouldn't be complete without Ringo.  He lives down the hall with our neighbor!

Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles live on.  :)

I never realized how much work it is to take care of fish!  Aside from actually remembering to feed them twice a day, we have to change their water a lot.  And when you have to clean three bowls every time you change the water, it gets to be a pretty big event.  I feel like my roommate and I have three little, orange, aquatic kids.  But I'm not complaining!  These kids don't talk back.

Check back often for more updates on my happy, shiny life.  :)
