Swimming and Guppies

Oh, where to begin?!

Not too much has happened over the past week or so... but there are several noteworthy items to relay. Last week I made several trips to Taylor for lectures and to help a former teammate with Calc I homework. At the end of last week I stopped by Marsh to pick up some groceries and ended up carting home a tropical-ish looking plant nearly my height. Some of the leaves need a little TLC, but it looks great on my wall between the kitchen and living room and softens things up quite a bit.

This past weekend was the first completely free weekend I've had since I moved in. I refrained from doing any work on Saturday and truly loved simply relaxing and doing some good cleaning. The smell of cleaner everywhere reminded me of how KK and mom used to clean up for me before I came home from college for vacations.

Saturday night I made a trip to Wal-Mart and came home with a guppy! Unfortunately, Mike passed away before I came home from school today- so I went back out to Wal-Mart and just brought home guppy II. (He doesn't get a name until he lasts a few days.)

This evening I also had the chance to swim at IWU. It's been a few years since I did laps, and I could tell. Regardless, it felt absolutely wonderful. I forgot how I loved being enveloped in the water, how I loved hearing the water rush past my head, and how I have this strange appreciation for the smell of chlorine... :P

Parent-teacher conferences tomorrow, half day Wednesday, and then I'm home in MI for fall break. :)
