3. I had the privilege of being up close and personal
with a tiger cub once. Some stupid ass was poking it with a straw so I thought I should try to calm him down. They like to have thier bellies rubbed. :) Just so you know.

Tiger cubs. :) He was kicking his leg like a puppy. The stupid freep that was poking him with the straw was just standing there saying, "Go a little lower".

Yeah, the idiot was afraid of a little ole tiger cub. Sheesh.

13. Finished!!!!! And couriered over to UBC
So I am feeling like a huge weight is off my shoulders. But I still have the final exam - April 15. Still, I don't think I have to study that hard, after all the exam is based on what I do every day. :D

14. That's great. :)
You know the funny thing? I never have studied very hard for tests but scored well most of the time. Odd.

It helps if the test is based on what you do everyday. :)
