I've been changing things up at lighting speeds lately. I
got into fostering dogs through a rescue group and got too attached to the
first one just in time for him to go to his "forever home". I made sure his
forever home was someone who works in my building. I get text updates and
pictures. Now I'm looking at the next one. It sucks being out of town and
watching the desperate ads posted every day about this sweet puppy or that
great family dog red listed at the shelter with 24 hours to go. I can't do
anything from out here. Even when I'm back there I can only do one at a time.
There was a cocker spaniel I wanted to take but the rescue said they can't do
old dogs. He was 6. It makes me want to start my own rescue. The little
experience I've had with this so far tells me anyone could do it. Like
everything else it will be put on the back burner until I'm in town again
though.
What I can do from here is study. And I have been. I have a
midterm Tuesday and for all I know maybe one Monday as well but the Tuesday
class is the one I care about. Another Polisci course from my all time favorite
professor. Another international relations class, this time focusing on how everything
plays out on the world stage with no world govt. They call it anarchy. Last
semester focused on the third world and it feels like an extension of the same
class. I'm missing one of the textbooks so I ordered it on Amazon with one-day
shipping, meaning it arrives exactly 25 hours before the test. Maybe I should
have ordered a little crack as well to keep me up through the night.
