Yet again, I really should be studying for my Zoology test tomorrow, but I set aside three hours for studying tomorrow before the test so I should be okay. I'm rather tired and have a headache, so studying right now sounds like an absolutely terrible idea.
Going back a few days--Saturday was much fun. ♥ Daniell came over from 1 PM until 7:30 PM-ish, and I got her all enthused about cosplay by showing her around Cosplay.com and telling her all about Fanime, and then (after several hours of internet stuff) we watched Millennium Actress. No matter how many times I watch that movie, it never ceases to be absolutely amazing and gorgeous and almost tearjerking. I love everything Satoshi Kon does, but I must say--I think Millennium Actress is my favorite of his works. There's just something so transcendent and moving about it--I can't quite put it in words.
So, Daniell went home and I was goofing around online, and KK called at 11 PM saying that we were having a Mob revival and we were going down to Auburn for milkshakes. After a few phone calls, our group ended up being: KK, Cody, Nicole, Makayla, and myself. Not as big as we initially thought, but it was a blast. 8D We went down to Auburn, found a random Denny's, and ended up staying there until 2 AM talking, laughing, having straw-paper fights, and, y'know, the usual insanity. It was nice having that particular group back together--I hope we can all spend time together again sometime soon.
Yesterday, er. It poured all day, and I don't honestly remember what I did. Probably absolutely nothing. When I went up to the chicken coop to feed my chickens/ducks/pheasant, I felt bad because the ducks were sopping wet and I thought it was because they had nowhere dry to stay--but later mom said it was because they were attempting to swim in the big puddle that had formed near the entrance to the coop. So adorable. XDDD ♥ I love my ducks!
I had a boring Animal Science test today, then I went to Calculus. Latham still isn't back, but we had a pretty cool sub. He was all excited and talked really fast, but he explained things well (I think?) and was generally very entertaining. I don't know what it is with Calculus teachers and being entertaining, but so far all three I've encountered in my life have been hilarious.
Then we got to go out to the Lincoln High School Farm for our lab to weigh the chickens. 8D I carpooled with a girl named Ari (not the same Ari I normally mention in here) and another girl named Kelly, who I decided are pretty cool people. Ari had a bunch of different types of music and she was just about blasting them the way there, but I mean that in a really fun way, not an annoying way. As we drove up to farm, she started BLASTING My Milkshake Brings All the Boys to the Yard, which was hilariously appropriate with all the cows that were around. XDDD
There, we got to capture SEVENTY-TWO baby chicks and weigh them. My classmates and I had far too much fun, I assure you. XD But I think I had the most fun of all, catching chicks and rushing them around and putting them in buckets and weighing them. It was brilliant. I'm totally snatching two or three Buff Orpingtons to add to my flock when the experiment is over in six weeks.
It was sad, though--the Cornish Cross chicks are only a week old, and you can already feel the fat building up on their bodies. :( It feels so...unnatural and disgusting. I mean, I've raised hundreds of chickens of many different breeds and types--and this just doesn't seem right at all. Of course, that's what they're bred for, but it seem so inhumane for them to gain weight like that. I wish I could save them from their fate as broilers, but--alas, even if I did, they wouldn't live very long because all of their organs would start failing thanks to the rapid weight gain.
Ugh, humans seriously disgust me at times. D:
I GOT GURREN LAGANN WORKING ON THE BIG TV. SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT MARATHON, WHENEVER I DECIDE IT IS. 8D
I have a slight headache still. Done being boring for the night! \o/ Time to gochain Pokémon go to bed.
