I took this while I was in Boston last year. I miss that place. This was at the aquarium. That place was hands down the best aquarium I've ever been to. There were penguins all on the first level and the whole room was a spiral ramp. You could get off at any level. The walls of the ramp? Glass to a giant tank where all the sea creatures were. This is where we met Crush. ("Righteous! RIGHTEOUS!")

One Sunday evening, Megan was trying to print something from her laptop. She hooked up to printer number 1: not working. Then she hooked up to printer number 2. After a few minutes she realized that the reason printer number 2 wasn't working for her was because it was not plugged into the wall. After plugging printer number 2 into the wall, she realized that the chord she thought was for printer number 2 was really for printer number 1. When she tried sending the document to printer number 1, it didn't work. So she searched for the chord to printer number 2. She found it quickly and printed her document. She then wondered what she had hooked up to the first time, when she thought she was connected to printer number 1. She followed the chord and, much to her dismay, found that it was the chord to the mouse.

I want to start a word of the day list. Expand my vocabulary, if you will. So every day - haha - I will have a word of the day. It will probably be one that I read recently and didn't know the definition so I had to look it up. Or maybe it will just be a word I like that day. Who knows.

This one is from my research on my paper about the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. I still don't have a specific angle. I'm in early research stages. A rough draft is due in a week. ACK!

PS I read and walk at the same time. I think it's the only way to be successful with all the reading that is required in college classes. I've only had one close encounter with a wall.
