Tag - you're it!

Student government elections are so ridiculously intense!

I talked to Muhi who is running for Maize and Blue president (which is what I voted for), and some other random guy for Unity Slate sort of followed me after Muhi left to talk to me. The politics in this are unbelievable! I've heard some real crazy stories about what people on each side will do to win a vote or put the other party to shame. It's sad that politics are just this way but I'm pretty happy that there are such dedicated students out there vouching for things I didn't realize the student body had any power over.

On a separate note, the weather this week has been incredible so far (I'm sure I don't have to convince you - if you're in the area, you know what I mean).

Yesterday, carpooled with Steven and studied for Econ with him. It gave me an excuse to be late enough for work that I didn't have to go. I don't usually play hooky but I have to say, it was really nice to get out of class and have the rest of the day under my control instead of booking it to Ricardo. And Steven and I got to geek about our aquariums (his 60 gallon looks amazing and I am jealous!)

Speaking of which, I've decided that at the end of the semster, I'm going to do 1 of 2 things:
- Completely scrap my 25 gallon and start a saltwater tank since I don't have the money to buy a BioCube or
- Move my 25 gallon's gravel into a new 20 gallon, temporarily move what are left of my fish to my 5.5 gallon, and start over with the 25 gallon picking and choosing which of my plants and fish I want in that aquarium.

For sure, I need a centerpiece fish. Either a dwarf cichlid or an angel fish. I'd really like a discus fish but those might be too high maintenance for me to handle.
