i am done like dinner! yaaay! i had my second (and last) exam on friday morning. it went okaaay, but i don't think i did as well as i did on thursday...which sucked, cuz both exams were worth 50%, and i think i was going in with a higher mark in the thursday one anyway. oh well...
after my exam, i went with a linguistics friend and her friend (both white ppl) for dimsum! it was their first dimsum experience, and they really liked it, so i'm glad i didn't disappoint. i spared them the tripe and chicken feet, so maybe they didn't get the *full* experience, but close enough for first-timers. after dimsum, i ended up walking down sparks st. so i called up tommy and went with him for lunch (well, his lunch, anyway). it was rather nice, i wish i had had time during the term to go for lunch with him more. then i went from there to john's house.
we talked for a while, ate, ran some errands, and then tackled a chore that's been long overdue: we cleaned his fish tanks. his big tank was overrun with algae, which would have been under control if his yellow tangs hadn't died long ago. so i tested the chemical levels, sucked out 1/4 of the tank, we cleaned out the dirt, and replaced the water. i reset all his live rock into a new formation, but it was really hard to do because the water was murky from us moving it all around. i did the best i could, and then figured i'd redo it if it looked bad once the water cleared up.
today, john and i went shopping all over town. went to ikea & lee valley (i managed to spend only $30 at ikea, PHEW!), and all over centrum. went to the fish store, and they've got some gorgeous fish...we're going back once they're on sale! went home, and checked out the formation of the live rock. it's actually not too bad, but then i noticed that we started with 4 fish last night, and one is now missing!! yes, i do believe that i may well have SQUISHED him under the rocks!! the water was so murky that i couldn't see what i was doing!! :*( john tried to make me feel better by saying that he might've accidentally sucked him out with the yukky water or cleaned him out with the algae. i still think i squished him. 2 of the 4 were pink damsels, and now there's only one. one's name was "buh" and the other was "nie" (if you know trevor, you get the joke). now that one is gone, the remaining damsel is just going to be called "bunny" from now on. but alas. may he rest in peace under that rock, in the garbage, or down the drain.
