Winding Down

As another stage of my life folds into yet another, I am faced with a decision that could change the course of my future entirely.  I should not be okay with that, but it keeps me on my toes.
I got a three-month old baby kitten yesterday.  I set out to find a bunny like the ones I used to have, but there was only one bunny in the county it seemed, and I just couldn’t go home without this lovely little boy.  His name is Foster, after Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends :).  Absolutely the most well-behaved kitten I’ve ever seen- enjoy baths, will come to the shower, likes the blow dryer, poops in the litter box, plays well, listens, is very smart, and sleeps with me.  He is clumsy, though— obviously my cat.
I am, after all, going back to Florida Southern in the fall.  The decision came after a long, heated battle with myself about returning.  Damn you, private colleges, and your “come-back-and-we’ll-give-you-this” schemes.  I will enjoy it, though, I know.  I do love it there.
