Aaah! More piggies!

OK, I was supposed to be studying, but I had to come over here and say this:
Remember Lucy? Remember Ethel? Remember how Lucy was supposed to be pregnant, and we got Ethel because we came to the conclusion that she wasn't, after we had her for three months, and she didn't give birth? So now... one of them just had three babies. We don't know who is the mother (we think it's Ethel, which would make sense because we've had her for little enough time for her to still be pregnant) and we don't know if the father is in the cage. Mira says Lucy is the father, but I maintain that the father was Ethel's roommate in the pet store. Do I sound gross? Anyway, if either of the original guinea pigs is a male, we need to get rid of him, because we don't really want to mix males and females... In any case, we'll need to get rid of the babies, because we don't have room for five guinea pigs, not to mention that they told us in the pet store when we thought Lucy was pregnant that we can get a credit if we return the babies...
On the other hand, some of us are worried that the babies don't have a very long life ahead of them, so we'll have to see what happens to them...

Ummm... monthly update?

OK, so I have had so much stuff going on lately. Actually, I just had Pesach going on lately, but that's over and now I'm entering Bagrut season, which means I'll have tons of tests and probably very little time for my blog. I'll try to update when I can, such as now:
Pesach was fine... we went to the Dead Sea for the last few days. That was fun, other than it's kinda sad because the sea is emptying. You see a sign that says "No Swimming", but there's just no water...
I have a new obsession!!! (I won't mention right now that I get a new obsession every week, because this is a real one...) I just finished reading Eragon and Eldest, the first two of the Inheritance Trilogy by Christopher Paolini. He started writing them when he graduated from high school at 15, so I'm kinda in awe of that, and feeling rather inspired to write. (Now if I can only come up with something good to write about...) Also, the books themselves are ingenious and written really well, so I'm very impressed... I can't wait for Book 3!
I think that's all. Now I need to get back to my school stuff, until I resurface in a few weeks...

Happy Pesach!

Chag Sameach V'Kasher!
I personally will be glad to be done with all the cleaning, and looking forward to the actual Pesach part...
OK, that was totally cheesy. I just had to address Pesach, but I had nothing to say...

Some form of weekly update

I've been on vacation almost the whole week, and I've been cleaning, mainly in my room, and also studying for my written driving test. Neither are making much progress. Tomorrow we're going to the US consulate to renew our passports for our trip this summer, and next week will be more cleaning. Great. In other news, my grandmother came on Monday for Pesach, so we're all glad to see her.
Have a good week!

Pesach Break!

Thank G-d! School's finally out for the next 2 1/2 weeks, and I really need what I call the time to breathe... Mostly I'll be cleaning and catching up on school stuff, but it's still good to be off...
