Wow, where did that week go.
I spent Thursday, Friday, and Saturday morning volunteering at the opening of a new thrift store for my local Humane Society. Thursday and Friday were mostly helping out with retail related things, while on Saturday I got to escort a dog from the shelter to the store and get it adopted! In my free time there I also found a bunch of ridiculously cheap things including a great beachy-style dress, tanktop, Spanish poetry and a John Grisham novel in Spanish, 2 wireless routers, a chuck-it ball thrower, and a Kodak Ektralite 10 camera. All of this came out to a grand total of $18.
Here I come, other thrift stores, and pawn shops, and such.

Friday night I went to Chipotle and to see Ted again with friends so the one friend that got kicked out last time could see it. Most of my laughing the second time was due to his hysterical laughing. We ended the night with ping pong.

Ah! Rewind! Thursday afternoon I convinced my mom to go to Petco to buy new filters for my fish tank and we walked out with 4 new Glofish and a snail. Unfortunately, that snail was dead before I even got it home. This was solved with a trip to Petsmart the next day with an employee that actually cared to check if the new snail I got was alive or not. Now I'm happy to say that my snail (Steve/Captain America) is thriving in his new home along with my 3 rosy red minnows (Bruce/Hulk, Tony, and Pepper) my lemon-lime and blue Glofish (Loki and Thor) and my purple and fuschia Glofish (whose names will most likely be Clint and Natasha).

As far as my Spanish progress, it took a backseat to all of this volunteer time and growing my 125 sunflowers for Biology, but I fully intend to resume very soon.

Today will include brunch and lots of dog-walking. Happy mid-July, better known as "oh crap, where did the summer go?" day.
