First of all, I see my last post was about my spider, Ophelia. The speech went well. People squirmed and expressed disgust when I uncovered Ophelia's jar. When I removed her and held her, pleasing sounds of horror filled the room. Ophelia got restless during my short speech about her, and she crawled up my right arm, around my shoulder, across my back (at this point, I turned my back to the audience so they could see--lol!), and up and over my left shoulder back to my chest. There, I got her to return to my hands and had her crawl from one to the other before putting her back in the jar. When one girl in the classroom said she would have nightmares, I knew my mission was complete. Never give me the limelight unless you want something crazy to happen! My professor called my speech technique "shock and awe." Love it!!
I ended up letting Ophelia go 3 days later (I really didn't want to part with her). About a week or two later, she made her egg sac. Shortly after that, she died. I was so sad. I really got attached to her and didn't expect her to die quite so soon after laying her eggs. I'm watching over those eggs now.
Winter break is currently in effect. I get a month off!! Sadly, it's almost over. Well, maybe not so sadly--I'm rather bored with no homework to do. Haha! This last quarter brought my grades back up--awesome grades! I'll have to keep doing that, though, to recover from my distressful spring & summer grades. Have I mentioned I will NEVER AGAIN take full time summer classes? Well, I just did. So there.
I have great faith in myself for this coming quarter. I chose carefully and will have fun, interesting classes with a balanced workload (I like to take 2 hard classes, 1 easy). As long as I don't waste my study time online blogging and Facebooking, I'll rock my GPA!
That's all for now. I can't promise I'll keep up to date here. I need to focus on college. I've slacked off for too long.
