Betta Trapped in a Trunk

I am becoming an insane fish lady. I honestly thought I had killed my fish the other day, so I went and spent $40 buying a new bowl and fish medication. Fish MEDICATION. Yeah.  What did I say about Betta's earlier on this year? That they usually only survive five years or less? Right. Well currently Shakespeare is a little over 3 years old, and I'm freaking out because I think he is dying. I honestly have no idea what is wrong with me... I barely have enough money to buy groceries and yet there I go out to buy forty dollars worth of stuff for my fish which I can't even touch.  What a life I live.

I feel I should mention to anyone that fish can actually get illnesses. And mine had Fin Rot.  Because of dirty water.  Yes I am a horrible pet owner, but excuse me for having a suicidal fish who breaks every freaking bowl I put him into and I don't have enough money to buy a new one every week. So, because of his illness, his fins have literally rotted away. The bad thing about Fin Rot is that in advanced stages (meaning after it has ate its way through the fin) it can start to attack the fishes body itself and it can die. Luckily I caught mine early enough that his mediation is working just fine and dandy and his fin seems to be growing once again.  But honestly people. get to know your fish! These are tiny little things that can't do anything on their own, and you buy them because they are pretty so take care of them! I had to learn the hard way to appreciate my fish, but now Shakespeare is doing better! Hopefully he will survive another couple years with me, or at least until I graduate. Oh, Mercutio is just fine and dandy as well. =)

In other news, there really is nothing going on with my life.  Except that I have 91 days until my roommate moves out, 30 days until Vegas, 24 days until I am done exams.  Yahoo! So I thought I would show you another lovely vehicle that parks in my school parking lot:
Let me just zoom in a little so you can see the full effect:
Enjoy the weekend as I will be!

Oh and don't forget to watch this video if you have the chance. Thank you Canada.
