Ok so the snail stories a bit old but here's what happenned
On Saturday there was no lettuce left, for the snails and me and Jessi are signed up for feeding them on weekend since were if not the only people in the lab then were definately the first. We decided to be good lab kids and use the HEB card and buy some lettuce rather than leave an email and let the teacher's assistant get the lettuce which means the snails wouldn't eat Saturday.
So she went out and got the lettuce while I stayed in the room watching the hot plate she came back, we fed them noticed the lettuce was a little more wrinkled, and a darker green then normal but it was the same price as what the other girl got. So we thought nothing of it, a bit paranoid, but come on their built to eat lettuce a different type of lettuce won't kill them. . . .right??? thats what I said any how.
The next day we come in and she's asking about some white thing and first I'm like I don't know later we find one dead one, and then two and then were freaking out and then in another tank another dead one, and there's no snail bodies, they've all disentegrated, we're both freaking out. I'm trying to make sense of it, there snails it shouldn't kill them, much less completely disentegrate them. On the third one I found out where there bodies were it had become murky mess in the water they were just cloudy water.
So we're both freaking out that we killed the snails. Now I'm thinking there an invansive species that means that we can't find a way to kill them with out destroying the enivornment, yet lettuce just slaughtered them were not sure how many are dead and she's like I think this one is and that one. and I check cuz she doesn't like touching dead things. and finally we find the fourth one a small snail, and Dr. Burks comes in and she can finish our stuttering sentences that somthing's wrong she looks and was like
you didn't kill the snails with lettuce. There just really old, and so when one died they caused the ammonia levels to spike and kill the others, that why three died in one tank. Although she decides that we shouldn't feed them that lettuce Sunday but we do feed it to the juveniles who got the last of the good lettuce last time (nothing ever happenned to them). I'm thinking that the older snails were fragile and the slight change in routine hurried up the death of two of them the only one that died in one tank and the first that died in the tank of three and then the ammonia did in 2 more, but yeah still not cool, we weren't blamed but I still feel bad.
Anyhow4 cards, thats how many are left teehee lets see of the people who read this 2 probably one will know what I'm talking about everyone else will either be clueless or have to ask ha that will make you leave a comment or more likely just not know.
I haven't been feeling all that spectacular lately I"ve been blaming it on diet but not sure if thats it or not. I exercised by my own will, for probably the first time in my life today. and no I didn't lift weights I"m not that daring, good, plus I like the heart work outs better.
oh and I missed one of one labs so far. Cuz I got a 5 on the bio ap which allows you to test out of half of the bio mini couses they do here. So I have half of each semester worth of bio which is the second half of this one, well the schedule says it starts on the 10th and well everyone in the other class was told that it was moved up a week, but I'm not in that class. So I get called after the class oh hey Scott we all wondered where you were then remembered you prolly forgot about it, since it got changed.
Forgetting requires being told once, there was no way for me to know, although Ms. Southwick the lab teacher was like yeah I forgot to remind you with an email. but she's nice but there's no reminding I was never told in the first place. huh. ok.
and we have counted about five thousand eggs between me and Jessi. We have almost 2000 eggs that are seperated by water which take a whole lot longer to count, and we need 1000 for the predation experiment. Plus we now know enough that we can do real scientific experiment, and then get our stuff published if we wanted but I doubt that would be worth much, so I think we're just gonna use our information for our own lab and hide it from the scientific community, since there pretty uptight about adding new info and there's not much point of wasting that much time on it.
Although the two seniors did tie for second and get $750 grants each for the school on their snail projects which are quite a bit more in deph and useful than mine and Jessi's
It's kind of funny cuz everyone has their own stuff, except me and Jessi who split everything, we sign everything with like both our names and everything it's kind of funny.
ok well I've probably made you all suffer long enough reading this
ok for your quote of the post

and things to remember during a war
1. The only things more accurate than enemy fire is friendly fire.
2. Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.
3. Teamwork is essential. It gives them more targets to shoot at.
4. No inspection-ready unit ever passed combat.
5. No combat-ready unit ever passed inspection.
6. Remember: your aircraft was made by the lowest bidder.
7. Never draw fire, it will irritate the rest of your formation.
8. Never share a cockpit with someone braver than you.
9. You are not Tom Cruise.
10. SAMs and AAA have the right-of-way.
11. If you aren't sure, the SAMs are pointed at you.
12. If hit, landing near the people that just shot you down is not a good idea.
13. Close only counts in horseshoes, nukes and proximity-fused missiles.
14. Smart bombs have bad days too.
15. The best defense is to stay out of range.
16. If you are short on everything but enemy, you are in combat.
