End Week 1 - The Blue Rose and the Cactus

You know of my habit of collecting leaves and flower petals and pressing them. I think that's the main purpose of my encyclopedias at home. Unfortunately, I don't have any encyclopedias here. I could use my Chem book, I guess....

I brought home some small palm leaves the other day (in my defense, they had turned red!) and I taped them to my bed and my roommates' bed. My RA comes in - "Why do you have dead things taped to your wall?" The rest of the week continues with jokes about how I shouldn't have a dead bird in my room unless it's a chicken I'm eating, and how they're going to kill the guy down the hall so I can tape him to my wall. It's morbid, but it was funny at the time, I promise.

I passed by a flower shop that's just down the street from me, and one of the little succulents just called to me. :) It's so cute! Let me introduce you...

Say "Hi"...

The second time I passed it, I bought a blue rose for my dancer roommate, who was at her audition for a modern class.

Isn't it pretty? :D Trust me to fill our room with life. I fed my cactus this morning (read: put it in sunlight) without waking my roommates.

Since this has been about plants so far, let me tell you about the trees here. They're so climbable. Pear, you would love it here. I went climbing today, it's so much fun, and the trees really like me, I can tell. ^^

Love, love, love,

In all my sincere craziness,
