Countdown continues, excitement builds

Days left in school: 81!
With Winter quarter in the past, and a week off to do what I want to (yeah, right!), I'm feeling pretty good. I don't know my exact grades, but they will all be in the A range. That puts me in a high enough GPA to graduate "with honors" in June. Call me an overachiever, but I like to excel, especially in classes like Web Devel. that are a real struggle for me. I think I managed an A in that class, but he hasn't posted all of our grades yet, and some of them were subjective so I have no idea how he'll grade me on things like "participation."
In other news, my internship for Spring quarter is all set up at Yelm Library, we sign the papers on the Oly house Monday, the chicks are growing fast (they look like gawky teenagers now with lots more feathers but still some down), and the weather is getting so nice we've begun yard renovations.
It doesn't get much more exciting than that. Today we're going to take it easy and go see "Green Zone" with Matt Damon.

Chicks growing up

Our "baby" chicks are getting bigger and growing lots of feathers. I never took pictures when they were housed in the garage in a very large cardboard box, but we recently moved them to much bigger quarters and now have some nice photos of the girls. I also shot a short video so you can see them already acting like chickens. They are fascinating to watch and get to know. Look at all those feathers!

We initially started with 15, but the first day or two whittled the flock to "lucky" 13 and that's held for two weeks. Fresh, home-grown eggs and happy farm life are our goals with this project.

So far, so good.

Enjoy!
