Alaskan Malamute

One year until I’ll have one of these adorable guys. (According to plan, anyway.) I am very lucky to have found a rental that has a fenced yard and is perfectly fine with pets, so it is very hard to not want to take advantage of that ASAP.
After classes and comprehensive exams are behind me, after classes and comprehensive exams are behind me…
Not that I’m sleeping, anyway. This semester has had a great deal more work than the last one, though more evenly spaced. This has its positives and negatives; on one hand, the workload doesn’t pile up into weeks of total insanity. Just… moderate insanity. On the other, that moderate insanity is ever-ongoing and doesn’t ever provide too much of a break. Well, I’ve held on so far!
One thing that’s helping is the longer days coupled with warmer temperatures. There’s finally hope for spring arriving. I have actually, truthfully forgotten what my back yard looks like without snow.
As for the other, well… I’m never bored with the cat around. Since, for one, he likes to make noise in the middle of the night, with the method demonstrated in the second video here. (You have to let the Quicktime logo sit onscreen for quite awhile before the video frame suddenly pops up.)
I can’t bring myself to stop him from doing that. He just seems so very proud of himself.
