Blog blog blog

I am definitely out of things to blog about. Seriously, who wants to read a blog about not having something to write a blog about? :) Since I am required to write it, it will be written. Our poetry books were due today. I felt like I had to scrape together many unfinished things to make it all come together. It isn't what I had wanted as the final product, but I guess it will do. I wasn't fully done with my slam poem, so I hope to revise it before saying it for that grade after Spring Break. I wanted it to be filled with emotions, but at this point.... IT ISN'T! I also am behind on blogging. I have to go back and make up the ones I have missed as soon as I find out the topics on them. My grades are really low from missing two weeks in all classes. I wish I could raise them all back up, but I can't. It is what it is, I guess....

Echo

So I finally received my dream pet, a Sun Conure, and her name is Echo! She is absolutely brilliant, can speak a few words, plays basketball (her own mini version) and dances. She's so full of personality, that I spend most of my time trying to guess what she will do next, but with little success. She is, of course, extremely loud. She likes to be in conversations, so she squaks when others are talking.

Echo is still a baby, only 8 months old, and is just finally having her first molting (losing her feathers and growing new ones). Me, being her owner, I am required to make sure that the feathers grow in correctly and that, when it is time, her wings get clipped so she cannot hurt herself. At first, I was against wing clipping. I thought it was sort of painful for a bird, but after I learn that it does no harm and that I can even do it myself, I decided it was for the best.

Echo has a brilliant pattern to her. That my be because she still has her baby feathers, but I love it. I don't want to see her grow up :(. It'll be devastating when she passes away in 30 years or so.
