fish

So yesterday Dr. McCrickard, my research mentor, walks into our little desk area, stares at a box full of fishtanks, and tells me to pick out an aquarium, put water in it, and one day he'll come in with fish. He put one on my teammate's desk too. Well...I got busy yesterday and didn't do it, not sure if he was serious, and thinking I had a couple days lead time if he was serious.

Fast forward to this morning. I woke up, spent time with God, went to breakfast, took a shower, got out of the shower at about 9:50. I turned on my computer and checked my e-mail...and there is a message from my mentor saying that he will be there this morning at 10:00 or 10:30 with the fish and that he trusts the aquariums are ready for them.

I threw on clothes, grabbed my bookbag and my makeup and ran to my car with wet hair and all, hahah. I got there just after 10:00, filled the aquariums, put on my makeup in the bathroom there, and got to work. Dr. McCrickard showed up at 10 :45 with the fish.

I strongly believe in showing responsibility in the small things :)

The policy is to name fish after former students. Apparently there was a former student named Larry, which is the same first name as Dr. Hodges, my research mentor at UNCC, so Dr. McCrickard felt that was an appropriate name for my goldfish. I told Dr. Hodges on Facebook. He said he would find a way to exact revenge. Hahah. I am terrified of this thing dying...

good night.
