Turtles, Nail Polish and My Favorite Tunes

I got back to campus this morning....not sure what else to say about that.  My Intro to Theatre teacher let everyone leave after the quiz today, which was pretty exciting.  Then I took a test in Astronomy that was pretty hard.

I did walk through the Turtle Pond on my way back to the dorm.  I like to walk by the pond every once in a while, because all of the critters are so interesting.  The turtles always swim up to the edge and stare at people.  I really like turtles and tortoises; next year when I'm living off campus, I'm going to have a tortoise.  I'm going to get one that's really small, so I can raise it until it gets really big.  It's such an amazing transformation!  Also, there are these teeny little birds by the pond that have a really interesting bird bath ritual.  They fly down to the ground from their little tree and shake around in the dirt, completely covering themselves in it.  Then they fly to a shallow spot in the pond and splash around in the water until they are clean again and fly up into the tree.  Then after a few minutes, they fly down from the tree and do it all over again!

I was really excited to get to see all of my friends after my weekend away :)  I usually try to get new nail polish every time I go home.  This time I got red (Russian Roulette by Essie if you want to get some too), and I love it!
