    Well I started off the day going to the library to get reading material for summer classes and then lunch. After that I went to watch Thor, awesome movie if you are a Marvel and/or DC fan. Then I found that a Petco just opened on the same street, so I went in to see if there was anything I could use and score! Tank sale! Of course I didn't realize I needed a Petco card so I signed up for one right there and bought a 40 gallon breeder saving $46! ;D

    Then came home, snuck it in the house and checked my Spring semester grades for TCU. Almost crapped my pants when I found that I barely passed religion and got credit and now have a 3.0 GPA!

    What a day right? Hoping that this is going to continue because I have been screwed all over the place this year. Starting with college, I am dyslectic so classes are killing me. Then my roommate becoming frat-tasic and worst roommie ever. Then I bought a Nano Cube 24 off Craigs list only to have it drive through my backseat when someone stopped short. After that I think was the on going build up of art projects and struggle through more class as I slowly fell behind even more. TV exploded during a thunder storm. Almost cut my finger clean off with an X-Acto blade.

    What a year. :p

    Haha I will tonight when I can get it out of my closet! Had to hide it since my parents don't like me spending my money on things like this. ;D It's not like I blow off all my money on fish and coral. Just a good 20% of what I make working ::)

    Haha yeah 20% from my $10 an hour part time job on campus making posters and flyers for different groups on campus and only working 10 hours a week.

    Build is going to be slow, since it will take quite a long time to save up for parts and equipment. lol Right now just making a supply list so I know how long this will take until water hits the tank.

    Check out your local craigslist. You can find some great deals on there, MUCH cheaper than buying equipment brand new. Its how I've gotten almost all of my stuff for my 40, and haven't had a problem with anything.

    Haha that's my plan. I think the only thing I will need new is overflow kit from Glass-Holes, quick crews from Reef Cleaners, probably Boostled bulbs, dry rock from Reef Cleaners, and sand from Marco Rocks.
