Tests, Cars, Bugs, and Puzzles
It's finals week now, I have one left tomorrow and Billy still has one he's working on (a take-home final).
Our car broke, the power steering fluid is leaking a bunch and so now it's at a shop and Billy has to take the bus tomorrow to go pick it up, hopefully. We're planning on leaving to San Jose soon, and then the car breaks. We thought it would be Thursday night after my final, but Billy might not be done with his yet and the car might be gay and not fixed. It might be on Friday. I'm sad that our car broke so we're thinking about selling it and getting a little Honda, Toyota, or something else that's Japanese and not stupid American junk. Also, we want nice gas mileage for once and less mileage than we have currently. The only problem is we have to deal with selling this car and then hopefully find another one afterward. This will all probably happen after this summer because summer is not a good time for large transactions. Yeah.
In other news, our apartment is super cool. I know I've said that before, but it really is. We find spiders a lot, but that's about it. We see cool animals around the complex. Raccoons, squirrels, skunks (actually, they're all over campus, too, and they're REALLY cute when they're not threatened :) they waddle) and we found this super awesome beetle that was about an inch from head to end and maybe a half-inch wide. It was white and grey striped and he had little feathery feelers and he flew and made weird noises. We passed him outside when we were coming home late one night and Billy thought it was so awesome he said, "I'm going inside, getting a Ziploc bag and coming back and catching that!"
He caught it and we brought it to our friends at the Institute the next day to show them and everyone thought he was really neat, except the CES missionary sister...she wasn't too happy that Billy brought the bug into Institute class. I took a picture of the bug, but it's on my phone.
Also, during procrastination week, I mean finals week, I pulled out a 1000 piece puzzle at the Institute and TOTALLY FINISHED IT with just a few other people working on it, but really mostly me. I also have a picture of that on my phone with my hand giving a thumbs up.

Wait wait wait. Your apartment has spiders a lot? Uhm, well, it was nice visiting you the one time in your new place, unfortunately I don't think we're gonna be able to make it up there for a while...at least not till winter when spiders go into hibernation.
Oh, and congrats on catching the bug then freaking the ces sister missionary out billy. And congrats on the puzzle Ally. I'm still puzzled out from the last 1000 piece puzzle we did.
American cars rock. You just happen to have the American Pt Loser. We want to get an used Mini Cooper for my gas mileage conserving, because they were in Bourne Identity and The Italian Job.
and they're really bumpy.
