…so I finally got to have some fun!!
But first we have to rewind a bit. Last Sunday Morris and I were on craigslist.com. First of all, I love this site for many reasons: housing, free stuff, and missed connections. It just so happens that I found the most beautiful bike! Now I already did have a bike, Sunshine Kimberly (more on S.S. Kimberly here: http://owlamanda.wordpress.com/2008/04/04/the-ss-kimberly ), but she is a beast to ride! The gears don’t change and she’s a monster, not at all like who she’s named after. So I decided it was time for a new bike so Morris and I were passively looking until we saw Brittany. I called the phone number and drove to Willow Hill to pick her up. I got lost a little, but it was nothing too serious. And I really like that area going out there! I know a lot of people from Abbington and after driving through, I just want to go back and walk around.
Back to Brittany, she is a beaut! She got her name because that’s the make and I can go up this hill at school now without a problem! And even better, I’ve been riding on the hardest setting! I just went to campus today and I barely pedalled. Not great for a workout, but fantastic for not being a mess once I get to school. So that’s Brittany.
So yesterday was the first day of spring so that meant free Rita’s!! My last class on Friday is Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology so after that a whole bunch of us from the class went to the Rita’s on campus. I got sweet tea and it is so good.

And then after that Kim, not as in Sunshine Kimberly but old housemate Kim, and I went to Plaza Pizza for dinner, got more free Rita’s, and then went to the Reel to see Benjamin Buttons. The Reel is a movie theatre on campus that has $2 movie tickets. It’s perfect for my budget 
And then today Kim, her friend Cassie, and I went to the zoo!! Now I really was going to ride the balloon. I have a very intense fear of hot air balloons. Something about floating around in a wicker basket with a flame…doesn’t seem to smart to me. But it’s not a hot air balloon, but the shape and size still terrifies me. I was in line and everything. But then it was 3:30 and they were closing in 1.5 hours. We had only seen half the zoo and we would have spent the rest of the time in line. So we didn’t ride it. And I’m a little bummed.
This turtle was eating a banana whole, and I thought it was hysterical
Some really old bikes...I would have loved to ride one!!
These guys were cuddling and so cute!
And he was just rolling on the ground
Look at how big his head is!!
Kim!!! I don't know where I was standing here, I'm the same height as Kim...
Trying to impress the ladies...
Me!
And Cassie! This poor girl...first she lost her earring then her wallet. On our way back to the car I found her earring in the grass and her wallet was in her car.
Birthday Cake: the zoo was celebrating it's 150th birthday.
The balloon! One day I won't be so terrified of this.

She kept walking in front of us!! She was showing off : )
Aardvarks! How cute are they?! I think they're adorable.
And I didn’t get to see the anteaters but I did get rock candy and I have a terrible headache from the sugar. So I’m going to sleep it off now. Take care, everyone!
Awww, I’m in your blog!
