—– My animals have never exactly liked being in the same room with each other. Alice the dog gets jealous and rather dominant, and Stance the cat (short for Happenstance) yields and usually just goes away. But this night was a different night. I would not stand for it. I was pulling an all-nighter, attempting …
—– My lovely apple tree. 🙂
—– Sorry it’s been so long catching up! I’ve been taking the pictures, just haven’t gotten around to posting them. I fully intend to catch up this weekend though! This is a shot I’ve been meaning to take for a while – every morning I stare out my bedroom window. This day was perfect …
—– Okay, yes, another picture of my homework. However, it’s really significant this time – I finally got what the hell I was doing! Days and weeks of toil. Pulling out my hair and stomping on it. Wishing to find a hole to pull in after me. Anxiety over much smaller problems while in denial …
—– Biology lab today! We looked at osmosis and diffusion.

You might be thinking that I intend to write something painfully cliche pertaining to some sort of Karate Kid wax-on-wax-off metaphor in which I ruminate on how this whole year has been such a stream of life lessons, blah blah …
—– The last time I tried to do a daily photo project, it lasted a good long while, but a birthday-to-birthday 365-day project is a bit too much of an undertaking for a Jessica, it seems: Jessicas tend to forget about stuff frequently even if they have been doing it every day for months on …
I loved going to zoos as a child — the smells of the damp, humid aviary, leopards lounging in the trees, realizing for the first time that monkeys had hands on their feet. Sometimes the trips were a bit overshadowed by my dad complaining that you couldn’t see some of the animals at times — after all, this was …
