Gus Gus

Continuing with the animal/pet theme that my blog has had lately, here are some cute pics of my kitty. For all the trouble he causes meowing at me in the middle of the night, Gus sure is entertaining!

Happy Spring

I hope the warm weather we have been having doesn't go away again, I can't deal with any more snow this year!

Vinny!

Heather and her boyfriend Ryan got the cutest puppy on the face of the earth!! I went to visit with Heather and Vinny and we took him down to the park to play around. It was beautiful out, which made up for the snow that we had earlier in the week. Vinny is an eleven week old Jack Russel Terrier mixed with Bichon Frise, and he has quite the personality already!

The Giving Garden

I learned about a community garden from an awesome girl in one of my classes. A group of interested and like minded students are going to start a community, sustainable garden this summer on Eastern's campus and I am going to help out and learn a lot in the process. The first meeting I attended was in EMU's greenhouse where we planted some of our seeds so that we can eventually transplant them onto the plot when they are ready in a couple of weeks. I think this is going to be a great experience, and it will be one of my outdoor volunteering activities this summer which I am really looking forward to. The meeting only lasted about an hour and a half but I really needed the break since I was in the middle of writing a 20 page paper...ugh! I am finally finished with my paper, only to start reading through all of the research I have on another one, but as soon as I am finished with that paper I am done for the semester. My summer is looking pretty great so far, I am enrolled in one class in May/June and then one class that is a couple days in July but will require a lot of reading leading up to our classes. I am also seeking out a couple more volunteering opportunities and making plans to get a photo business going on the side with some awesome clients lined up already!
