Operation Rescue

Halloween: 

On Monday we had an exam review, but the software we use for the exams messed up the grades, so we ended up having another one on Tuesday.  We received our schedules for next semester and a lot has changed in the lower semesters.  Of course, my class doesn't like that there will no longer be block exams, and 6th and 7th have a class together.  Frustrations were very high.  We also received our confirmation that we can register for the next semester.  Here's to hoping it actual counts for me this time!

I attended dinner at Bombay Blues for the shelter vets that came down from UF on Wednesday night.  Ironically, moments before leaving I found the kittens I've been looking for. So the story is, we've had a stray wandering around our complex for about two months now. We noticed she was pregnant but I was unable to catch her before she had her kittens.  She still came around the complex but without her kittens.  We talked about getting her to FCP for their spay day, but we had to wait until the kittens were old enough.  Well, this past Sunday marked about six weeks since she had the kittens, so we caught her and I brought her into FCP for this Saturday's spay day.  I was hoping that since mom wasn't around that the kittens would venture out from wherever they were hiding, and so on Wednesday night they did!  My neighbor ran up my stairs telling me that another neighbor saw the kittens when one of them tried to approach her dog.  So, I went searching for them which didn't take long because they were meowing for each other.  The first one came right up to me, the second one was more hesitate but once he saw that his brother was with us, he came to us as well.  The female was harder to catch; I actually had to go into the neighbors yard to grab her (a local that lives directly in front of our complex).  I am so excited that we got them all!  We were right about them being around 6 weeks old and luckily they looked very healthy.  PAWS is taking them in so hopefully they will all find great homes!

Friday, there is a night cat trip with pink semester!  I haven't been on a night cat trip before so I'm excited; it should be a wild time.
The West Indies Conference starts on Sunday.  I am registered to attend any lectures I am interested in as well as a speed networking event.
